On the other hand, based onthe teacher assessment, Microsoft tools provide support for the application of many differentconcepts studied along the course within an integrated environment, reducing the learningcurve for students, while offering the added value of an industrial-level tool.1.

and 4 seek to build intuition and curiosity in the students by providing a broadoverview of EE and CpE. These three goals work together to pique the students’ interest enoughto continue in the major. Conversations with advanced students in the major indicate that a fewwere frustrated by the lack of detail in the first course. Their comments indicate a hunger thatwill be fed as they move through the rest of the major.Another strong motivator for students choosing engineering as a career path is self-efficacy orthe belief in one’s ability to perform a task within a specific domain. If a student believes she orhe will succeed, then success is more likely. Jones and others [7] have shown there is a stronglink between self-efficacy and persistence

Further, while the authors leveraged institutionaladvantages, the methods and content should be transferable to other types of institutions.IntroductionIn our experience, engineering is often viewed as a discipline for people who “don’t want to reador write much.” This has been particularly true of a sub-set of undergraduate students who seeengineering as a career path in which they can leverage their aptitude for math and science into astable, well-paying career. In this worldview, engineers are technical experts who are recipientsof problem definitions and apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve the problems ina technically elegant and efficient manner.
