circuits-for-nonmajorsAbstractWORK IN PROGRESS PAPER: Many non-electrical engineering students take an electriccircuits course. These courses present challenges for the instructor; students may arrive with littlemotivation to engage with content outside their chosen major. Previous research has alreadyexamined motivational issues in this and other service courses, such physics-for-life-scientists,mathematics-for-engineers, and chemistry-for-nonscientists. The author taughtcircuits-for-nonmajors following a strictly applied approach. All circuits analyzed in class or onhomework were circuits for disciplinarily authentic devices, such as household wiring,electrostatic precipitators, resistance thermometers, roadway lighting, or hydrogen fuel cells
