The design requirements of these programs are high and so it isreasonable that women with preference for art are enrolled in these programs. Surprisingly,25.81% of RPs enrolled in architecture related programs and 20% enrolled in interior designprograms did not select art as a favorite subject. Considering that art and design are keycomponents of these programs, follow up studies will assess their experiences in these programs.Only 43.48% of the RPs consider science as a favorite subject.

AsDavis points out1 there is a need to relate analysis skills to the real world. Other authorshave done this by incorporating design into the circuits lab2, 3, 4 or by integratingcomputer tools into the lab5, 6. An additional strategy is to challenge the students with acircuit identification task, one where they have to design test procedures and from theresults synthesize the unknown circuit. Most lab experiences consist of opportunities tobuild circuits from homework problems
