If one assumes asomewhat uniform distribution of the semester credit hours over an undergraduate careerspanning 8 semesters, the number of credits per semester will range between 15 and 18 hours.The proposed two-year template ranges between 65-68 credit hours and is given in Table 2.

During the presentation of the theory, it is important to offer technical definitions inverbal or textual statements for the students with auditory learning style and linguisticintelligence, mathematical or analytical models, formulas, equations, flow charts, andalgorithms for the students with logical-mathematical intelligence, graphical representations,pictures, simulations, numbers and the outline of the subject for visual/spatial learners.

The purpose of this paper is to understand the characteristicsof individuals who pursued engineering.In order to meet this future market demand and address the concern of an engineering shortage,an intervention is necessary to increase the likelihood that students with STEM-based talent willchoose engineering as a college major
