. Itis often seen that potential chemical engineering students who are interested in careers in medicinetake a pre-medical route or make a switch to bioengineering. Chemical engineering as a major,though, teaches students a number of invaluable concepts and fundamentals that can be applied toprojects involving the life sciences and medical field.The lack of understanding of the opportunities for chemical engineers may be a reason for the lowretention rates as a major, especially for female undergraduates, as they are not exposed to theopportunities that interest them, such as biomedical applications, early enough in theirundergraduate careers. Specifically, at Washington State University women represented only15.7% of the total engineering

programming.IntroductionAlthough most engineering faculty and professionals view computer programming as an essentialpart of an undergraduate engineering curriculum, engineering students do not always share thisviewpoint. In fact, engineering students outside of computer and electrical engineering may notrealize the value of computer programming skills until after they have graduated and advanced intheir career [1]. Failure to find value in computer programming may have negative consequencesfor learning. Indeed, engineering students who do not view programming as interesting or usefulshow poorer performance on tests of programming concepts than students who do [2]. This findingis consistent with theories of technology acceptance [3-4] that emphasize perceived usefulness
