engineering as a creative field of study. Students see engineering asmath, as an abstraction, as disconnected from reality. Freshmen often look at the dauntingcurriculum and see an abundance of work with little or no reward. What is not apparent in theunderclass-engineering curriculum is the amount of creativity that is necessary to solve industrialproblems1. This becomes more apparent in advanced courses, such as senior design, but we mustbe able to retain students until that level.
