Students were prompted to discuss personal experiences prior to college,content in the first year CE/EvE/AE course, and other college courses that impacted thisdecision. Students were also instructed to “Cite specific aspects of CE/EvE/AE and being aC/Ev/A engineer that appeal to you and do not appeal to you.”The essays were generally about two pages long.
