of interest to those studying careers directly related to physics but with littlepractical application in work environments.The present research aims to evaluate engineering students' perceptions of their physicseducation in an evening and online program, identifying their expectations, experiences, andchallenges. Key aspects such as career projections, the effectiveness of teaching methodologies,the balance between theory and practice, and the impact of previous training are explored. Thisapproach responds to the need to understand how these factors influence learning and how moreinclusive and effective pedagogical strategies can be designed.While existing studies have explored the role of physics in engineering education, limitedattention

NILdesktop equipment; selection of a template; making the sample; characterization of samples byoptical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy; lab report; literature search exercise;classroom presentation. In addition, students learn about career opportunities related tonanoimprint lithography and semiconductor industry. The course activities are well aligned withthe ABET general criteria for engineering that include requirements for both basic science andbroad education components, instruction on modern equipment, and development of leadership,and written and oral communication skills.IntroductionThe CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 [1] has provided funding specific for the development andin support of domestic semiconductor and

objects is more likely to persistin mastering advanced geometry or CAD design, even when facing initial challenges.3.1.2 Subjective Task Value in STEM ContextsSubjective task value refers to the perceived relevance and utility of a task. For spatial reasoning,students' recognition of its importance in future careers - such as engineering design, architecturalmodeling, or data visualization - directly impacts their motivation and engagement. Students whoperceive spatial skills as essential are more likely to invest effort and persist in masteringchallenging tasks. By incorporating EVT constructs into the conceptual framework for spatialreasoning performance and persistence, this study emphasizes designing interventions thathighlight the utility of

into the experimental physics course activities. Themethodology was structured in two main phases: implementation of experimental activities anddata collection through a survey.ContextThe students who participated in the study belonged to engineering careers (Civil MiningEngineering, Geology, Informatics and Computer Engineering, Civil Industrial Engineering,Civil Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Merchant Marine Engineering, Bachelor ofScience, Computer Engineering), the experimental physics course is located as a second semesterof the curriculum and is taught nationwide, in five different centrally coordinated sites.Students must pass the general physics course, which corresponds to an introductory one. In thiscourse, they

related to quantum optomechanical sensors, which was followed by a postdoc in physics education research at the University of Colorado Boulder. Since that time, Ben has pursued research on the nature of physics expertise, how expertise is developed, and the relationship between formal education and professional success. This has included research on graduate education, career preparation for optics and quantum jobs, and laboratory education. Ben regularly teaches courses that integrate computation, laboratory work, and projects. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Investigating Opportunities for Growth and Increased Diversity in Quantum Information Science and

feltcompletely capable”). Figure 2 shows the responses to these questions.Figure 2. Students' perceptions regarding their ability to read and understand a scientific article.Most students indicated that they felt capable of reading and understanding scientific articles.Before the project, 87.3% of students selected a score between 3 and 5. After completing theproject, this percentage increased to 98.0%. The average score improved from 3.5 to 4.1,suggesting that the project enhanced students' familiarity with scientific articles. One studentremarked that the project encouraged “the development of reading scientific articles. Veryimportant for the career”. However, two students from the Industrial Engineering program statedthat they still felt unable to
