While straight-forward tosolve, it is an important point to drive home. Computer science departments program fordifferent applications than mechanical engineers do. The majority of mechanical engineers willnot do a substantial amount of low level programming in their careers. However, it is becomingvery common for mechanical engineers to incorporate high level, simple programmingtechniques in their day-to-day work.

Self-reported or subjective task value has also been linked to future course plans andactual choices of courses as well as achievement10-12. Task value has multiple componentsincluding the intrinsic, attainment, and utility value of a task as well as the perceived cost ofpursuing that task7. Intrinsic value refers to the inherent enjoyment that engineering is expectedto provide the student over the course of his or her program.

Employ a holistic perspective by accounting for the broader system within which the problem exists. Typically one extends the problem boundary to include actors and forces associated with both natural systems and those associated with social or cultural institutions or norms. 2. Take a long-term view of the problem by seeking to understand the history of its evolution and how things might unfold in the future, given the dynamic forces in play. 3.
