-level Instructional Course Modules Designed to Inspire Computer Science InterestAbstractRecent research regarding university student perceptions of “Computer Science” as a field ofstudy and their motivation to pursue such studies as a career opportunity reveal studentmisconceptions and lack of motivation. Many students report that they regard the study ofcomputer science as narrowly equivalent to “programming”. Moreover, many are notconsistently provided the opportunity to realize the true impact of the field within their entry-level courses since these early courses tend to focus on programming and syntax skilldevelopment. It is not until they are in their upper-level courses that they gain a broaderunderstanding and by

The impetus for the initiative is our conclusion that (1) fundamentalunderstanding of the principles of SE and their practical application is important for all engineersand (2) SE can be taught as a principle of design without displacing other course content
