. While the current programof study is effective in getting students excited in Engineering and its many disciplines,and in giving students a wide range of practical introductory experience in Engineering, itlacks the ability to get students to consciously develop a career path in engineering, andbegin considering the necessary academic and experiential steps required in order toexperience a successful career in the engineering discipline of their choice. As a result,several students find it easier or more convenient to change majors when they feeloverwhelmed by the requirements for engineering students, since they never really had aplanned career path initially.To address the above concerns, an additional project, the ‘Engineering your
