Abstract

Sustaining student engagement in cognitively demanding engineering disciplines, such as Engineering Drawing, presents a significant challenge. Conventional qualitative approaches are inadequate for quantitatively characterizing the dynamics of attention decay. Drawing inspiration from attention capture mechanisms in short-form videos, we introduce a “beaded mini-course” instructional framework. Firstly, we analyze psychological principles of attention and short-video engagement strategies under attention economy. Utilizing the detailed knowledge framework of Engineering Drawing, we segment the 45-minute lecture into 10–15-minute BOPPPS mini-lessons (referred to as “beads”), which are synchronized with optimal attention spans. Each mini-lesson integrates interactive resources via cloud platforms for cross-device accessibility. An exponential decay model is applied to approximate individual attention evolution. The simulation result of all students reveals that the interactions significantly sustain attention versus non-interactive lectures. The new designed framework demonstrates the ability to correct attention drift and maintain high engagement levels. The approach bridges attention economy principles with engineering pedagogy, offering a data-driven strategy for cognitive load management.
