show students what thevarious facets of electrical engineering are.In Fig 6(b), it can be seen that students’ perception of the major increased after learning whatelectrical engineering is all about. This may be due to a misunderstanding of what electricalengineering is by those who are not familiar with it. Once students understand what can be doneusing electrical engineering, the interest in the major naturally increases.However, it should be noted that the movements in Fig 6 are very small. This is not surprising as96.6% of students went into the course with a declared major. It would be unreasonable to expectone course to change students’ minds significantly.3.1.3 Learning throughout the courseIn the second and third surveys, students

To address this issue, we implemented an innovativeapproach toward group lab writing in a lab class for 35 junior-level Chemical Engineeringstudents. In this study, individual contributions were worth 30% toward the group-written labreport. Students were required to complete their individual contribution submission as acompletion grade 24 hours before the group-written report was due.
