Overall, the use of experimental centric approaches to learning and teaching appears tooffer a promising method of increasing and enhancing circuits based classes so that futureengineers will be better able to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Further research isneeded on the role of faculty teaching style, specific course content, and long-term achievementoutcomes.References: 1. Suitts, S.

A sense of purpose is amotivating factor that describes an individual’s goal(s) for their actions [5] . Students may be 4attracted to organizations that convey values aligned with their personal and professional goals [6-9] . For some students the messages that engineering outreach programs convey, such as theapplication of engineering to solving the world’s problems [10], the need for diversity amongengineers [11] and the fact that engineering involves problem solving, [12] are congruent with theirown
differencesbetween transfer student experiences within the same institution, particularly between verticaland lateral transfer students. These results indicate that institutions cannot view all transferstudents as having the same experience or requiring the same support. Fostering a welcomingculture, helping students build networks, providing access to institutional agents, and ensuringeasily accessible information are all ways that institutions can begin to improve the transferexperience.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1428502.

faculty members in the Department wanted to follow suit, and began their search for theright type of practitioners, to enrich the academic process by bringing the practice into the classroom. After Foundation Engineering was over, and the final course grade was out, a“questionnaire” was sent to those who enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; thecomments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows: The adjunct was easy to approach
