decided to do communitycollege in hopes of getting a full ride to university, which I was able to do thanks to beingawarded the Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.I really don't want to miss the educational opportunity in the U.S to pursue my dream. I havebeen long wanting to build things like softwares, devices or machines that could enhancepeople' life.I decided to start as a community college as it was a much more financially feasible option. Ihave already successfully transferred.COVID seemed to even out the education regardless of where you were going to school. I hadto keep my finances in check.At the time, I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do. So, I enrolled in community college to keepon with my education, while I figured

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Rethinking non-major circuits pedagogy for improved motivation1 IntroductionIt is no secret that student motivation is critical to learning. Put succinctly, students will onlyapply effort to learn if they see value in learning the material or skill at hand. This value maycome from a combination of one or more sources, such as the pleasure of attaining mastery of askill, the enjoyment of the material itself, the potential for better job prospects, or simply the needto earn a particular grade to keep a scholarship [1]. Many of these value factors are influenced bythe structure of our courses and the way we teach, and electrical engineering is

Publishers supply solution manuals as a resource forthe instructors, with most manuals providing detailed solutions for each problem in the textbook.Since most engineering textbooks solution manuals are currently in digital format, they arereadily available to students. This paper provides information on how students get access tosolution manuals and gives examples of
