onthe type of project that is the focus of the class, such as an environmental focus, system design,alternative energy, humanitarian design, engineering and the arts, and entrepreneurship, and itwas found that students were very motivated in the class with the focus they chose. The authorsreport that 81% of the students had a better understanding of what an engineer does as a result oftaking the class, according to the end of semester survey. As FYE students become moreknowledgeable about engineering, all of the various branches and disciplines of engineering, andthe skills necessary to be successful, they will be better able to match their interests and skills tothe area that is a best fit for them. A best fit for the student increases the
