. Studentsurveys conducted at two different institutions show why students select to become engineers andtheir preference for the different course components.Introduction “Introduction to Engineering” is a core course given to freshmen students of all engineeringdisciplines. The course aims to familiarize students with the engineering profession, the differentengineering disciplines, the design process for exploratory projects, the work in interdisciplinaryteams, the ethics and professional behavior, the lifelong learning, the written and oral presentationof technical concepts, and problem solving.

The class is most popular for students in Computer Engineering.It is designed for students who are interested in electromagnetism (EM) but are not necessarilyinspired by calculus-based version. While the students see and discuss the relevant mathematicaltools and concepts, they are not required to show the mastery on that, unless they decide to havetheir final project in area that require calculus depth.

Society for Engineering Education, 2019AbstractIn recent years, makerspaces have become an increasingly common feature in the engineeringbuildings of academic institutions. Through the creation and continued funding of these spaces,access to rapid prototyping technology has allowed for fast, straightforward project developmentacross the engineering disciplines. While many hypothesize that students’ participation withinthese facilities has a positive impact on their educational experiences and outcomes, there is littleempirical data that describes how and to what extent individuals are impacted by exposure to amakerspace.In this paper, we seek to understand how the use of a university makerspace in a course projectimpacts students’ engineering
