The mainchallenge in designing such an interdisciplinary programming course material for electrical andmechanical engineering students is their level of familiarity with programming. Because of the useof C, C++ in the Electrical engineering courses, the Undergraduate curriculum for ElectricalEngineering degree, requires students to take programming courses from Computer ScienceDepartment in the Freshmen year.

In addition, rural teachers indicated different priorities forprofessional development. Though teachers overall saw the greatest benefit fromprofessional development on lesson plans that incorporate engineering, rural teachersindicated an even higher benefit just from having access to an expert teacher inengineering.The lower confidence that we see may be indicative of the limited support, community,and resources available to teachers in rural areas who often have a more limited budgetand fewer colleagues to collaborate with. These results make a strong case for thecreation of a professional development program that targets

a reason, but others viewed theirengineering degrees as a “back-up” in case other plans failed [7].Because of the disconnect between students studying engineering and choosing career pathsoutside of engineering, major selection is not necessarily a perfect predictor of career choice andthe terms should not be used synonymously. Major selection is the decision of what to study at acollege or university; for example, chemical engineering. Career choice is the field in which arecent graduate decides to work upon graduation; for example, paper processing and production.In this example, the student’s major selection and career choice are in a common field:engineering. However, if the student had decided to pursue medical school or work in
