Through quantitative analysis and the administration of an existing validatedsurvey instrument, we aim to explore students' exposure to semiconductors-related topics andpotential correlations between exposure, motivation, and demographic variables, includinggender, class standing, and majors.The instrument was administered to a cohort of 255 students enrolled in “Elements of ElectricalEngineering,” a multidisciplinary course covering the fundamentals of electrical engineering.Preliminary data indicates that only 9% of the students in this cohort have taken a class aboutsemiconductors and only 3% have some interest in pursuing a career in the semiconductors field.The results of this analysis

We are, however, conscientious about both the reason to spread this work out andthe how to sustain it.For the former, as faculty who advise all the students in our programs—with each of whom wemeet no less than three times each year (no less than once per quarter, typically two or threetimes) just for advising—we are familiar with many students’ tendency to identify what theyconsider throw-away courses. These are required courses that many students do not perceive asessential to their career. And because we cannot teach our major courses more than once peryear, it is sometimes justifiable for a student to leave these

Sandoval, Phuong TruongAbstract: Learning can be a daunting and challenging process, particularly in engineering. Whilecognitive models for learning such as Bloom's taxonomy have been developed since the 1950s andevidenced to be useful in designing engineering courses, these models are not commonly explicitlytaught in classrooms to help students manage and regulate their own learning. In highly demandingcurriculum such as engineering, ineffective strategies can lead to poor academic performance thatcascades throughout a student’s academic career. Feedback from traditional examinations often donot provide personalized and actionable changes to study habits (i.e., with suboptimal scores,students may know they need to study more, but whether “more
