Education that reflects the fast growth of technology must be considerably enhanced, for instance, through learning media. Charles Prosser played a crucial role in engineering education by establishing standards for the field. In line with this legacy, the current study aims to examine the impact of focused immersion, digital literacy, and learning motivation on learning methods and the academic success of engineering students. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey design was used to engage 420 students from the Faculty of Engineering at an Indonesian institution. Based on the data analysis, the structural equation model (SEM) was considered, and the results showed that focused immersion (p = 0.000), digital literacy (p = 0.014), and learning motivation (p = 0.000) served as mediators between learning methods and academic achievement in Prosser’s theory, as can be seen from the significant value of p<0.05. Ultimately, the results of this research contribute to understanding the important role of focused immersion, digital literacy, and learning motivation in improving students’ academic performance in engineering education. © 2024 by the authors.
