Students of non-engineering majors often select the course to learn more about theengineering profession and to find out how well it may fit their personal interests. The coursecontent varies among higher education institutions, but they all place a significant emphasis on thedelivery methods and the course outcomes. An online research of the latest posted offerings andcatalogs shows the topics covered by the course and the credit hours dedicated to it

Judging types prefer structure, order, and a task-orientation, whileperceiving types prefer an open and flexible approach. No personality type is considered to bebetter than another; it is just a tool to help individuals know more about their strengths, weaknesses,likes, dislikes, compatibility with other people and even possible career preferences. A study doneby the ASEE-MBTI Consortium in 1980 showed that the majority of engineering students tend tohave thinking and judging personality types and often they are introverted [2-3]. While this studyis quite old, it is the most comprehensive study on the personality types of
