The highly interdisciplinary andresearch based nature of the subject matter has meant that integration of nanotechnology into theengineering curriculum typically takes places at the advanced undergraduate level. Nevertheless,the inclusion of research advances into the undergraduate curriculum is widely accepted asresulting in undergraduates being more persistent, gaining intellectually and being more likely tochoose a research related field as a career [3]. Research related activities with the strongestassociation to deep learning gains are reviewing literature and interpreting findings [4]. A lowcost means of achieving

Future” was observed [11]. The authors cited“more negative views” about pursuing a career in engineering and a decrease in being motivatedby future goals as potential factors contributing to the survey results [11]. The study waseffective at demonstrating that motivation is not static and also helped to validate the importanceof understanding how to maintain student motivation in engineering education. The research presented within this study will compliment some of the previous researchthat has focused on motivational strategies within engineering curriculum. Most previous studieshave focused on understanding motivational strategies in the context of a specific course orengineering subject within engineering curriculum. While there is a
