administering a survey at the end of the course. This survey wasadapted from the nanotechnology awareness instrument originally developed by Dyehouse et al[17]. Specifically, we focused on the exposure and motivation scales of this instrument, designedto assess students' levels of exposure to and motivation for learning about nanotechnology. Toalign it with the context of this paper, we substituted the term "nanotechnology" with"semiconductors." The concept of exposure relates to activities that students have activelyundertaken, such as reading about semiconductors while the concept of motivation aims tocapture the types of future studies or work related to semiconductors that students plan to pursue.The rationale to utilize this existing instrument

EJ is an individual’s capacity to determine and execute tasks that willhave a predicted outcome [5, 6]. When engineers work in the real world, many times projectswill require the engineer to come up with solutions which cannot be found inside of codes ormanuals. When following a structural engineering firm, the engineers were able to analyzebuilding plans and make changes to designs based on previous knowledge [7]. An engineer maybe an expert when using codes and references but cannot be a competent engineer if lacking EJ[8]. During an engineering student’s curriculum, EJ should be developed incrementally
