Motivation has been exploredin relation to academic performance and career plans. Jones et al. studied the relationship amongexpectancies, values, achievement, and career plans for first year engineering students. They found thatstudents’ expectancy and value related beliefs decreased over the first year3 thus negatively influencingstudents’ retention into the second year of an engineering program.

Often, theprocess of planning out a project will take place over a semester preceding the research courseitself (for example in Physics, while a student is still taking modern physics). Since researchprojects typically take quite some time to actually start up, this lead in time is essential to getdocuments, papers and sourcing established.
