engineering program needed to fitinto that liberal arts model. That meant cultivating the core aspects of the liberal arts model,especially a whole-person approach to collegiate development, a reflective framework forstudents to grow as learners and people, and the ability and desire to be a lifelong learner.Engineering is traditionally a professional degree, thus there was initial wariness about the abilityfor the new program to integrate into the greater college. The pilot engineering science degreeprimarily drew on existing classes and was a subset of the physics department. The revised BAand new BS require more new classes and provide a professional degree. This evolution causedconcern among other faculty members who had concerns that the degrees

The definition of Attainment is how an individual'sview of a task reflects their sense of self. Intrinsic value, also known as interest value, is theenjoyment individuals have while performing a task. Utility value is described as a student'sview of the future involvement of a particular task, and relative cost is the cost associated withengaging in a particular task, as measured by time, effort, or psychological aspects.
