At the same time,interest in engineering at the undergraduate level is often fostered through childhoodparticipation in engineering activities. Some argue that by the time children reach middle school,their interests and perceptions towards their future careers are established [3]. Therefore, whenchildren lack access to opportunities to learn about engineering in pre-college settings, thisresults in limited understanding about engineering and

Fan-out relates to the diversification of careers pursued by studentsgraduating from the degree program. In order to increase this order of complexity, the inter-module must be re-designed.
