engineering careers mayinfluence retention in this field.Literature ReviewSeveral models for engineering student success include the identity of a student as an engineer asan important factor. Adelman’s path model advocated a competitive model among STEM(science, technology, engineering and math) majors. Similar curricula are available in the firstyear of college; therefore, an engineering career may be viewed as one of several career choices.A number of factors can influence this competitive choice, including career identity.6 In theWatson & Froyd transmission model, cognitive development, occupational choice developmentand self-identity are viewed as the paired lines of a transmission line. In their model, these threefactors interact with each

Despite recognition for the need to embrace "new media" courses thatdirectly address creativity and effective communication using such tools are not plentiful withinthe engineering curriculum. There are many competing interests that influence curriculum designthat will equip the next generation of engineers to be technically competent, competitive in theglobal economy, and effective as responsible citizens.

. Page 14.1038.2 Rube Goldberg (1883 – 1970) was an engineer turned cartoonist who drew incrediblemachines that completed simple tasks, such as turning off a light switch, in as complex of a wayas possible. His cartoons were meant as a social commentary on how technology to solve simpleproblems is often needlessly complex, but this context provides an excellent context for childrento learn about engineering design. Combining Rube’s ideas with an engineering design processgives students an opportunity to have positive experiences where they have a lot of room toexplore and be creative while still following an engineering design process and understandingthe basic process that engineers go through to design.

Still others believe such demonstrations are too timeconsuming or do not “add value” to the course. They may also believe that the apparatus used inthese demonstrations is expensive.
