Increasing student engagement in meaningful teaching activities is important to facilitate deeper understanding and increase student learning in higher education. We have sought inspiration from the concept of Vital Engagement, introduced by Nakamura & Csikzentmihalyi, for course development and implementation in two courses at LTH Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This paper presents how Vital Engagement can be used for course development. We also share preliminary outcomes from our first application of this concept, based on feedback from students and our own experiences.
