boring), especially in the first few years of coursework. This is because engineeringand technology majors take courses in science (physics, chemistry), mathematics (linear algebra,calculus, differential equations), computing, and economics (economics, engineering economy).In these courses, students are generally taught methods and are not exposed to the applications ofthese methods until later in their education. Unfortunately, it is difficult to motivate studentswhen they do not see how their work applies to the real world [1].We have previously reported on the use of The Wall Street Journal [2], among other mediasources, in the classroom in order to motivate students and improve the learning environment forstudents in engineering economy

Incomparison, full-time graduate study leading toward a research oriented career oftenappears far less attractive than the immediate and highly visible rewards offered forspecific entry level engineering skill sets. As a result, the number of engineeringgraduate degrees awarded has dropped in recent years1.While direct entry into a graduate program is not for everyone, it must be encouraged forthe nation's top research-oriented students to ensure sustained technological innovation.In order to encourage our most promising scholars to consider graduate school, factorsthat discourage them from
