Despite this need, only few students are able to or willing to have a studyabroad experience. The 2013 Open Doors report from the Institute for International Educationshows that nationally only 3.9% of engineering students studied abroad during theirundergraduate career [2]. In addition, despite the growing awareness of the benefits of studyabroad by students, the challenges preventing students from studying abroad are numerous andcomplex [2]. According to the IIE Generation Study Abroad White Paper Series, the primarychallenges for many U.S. students can be grouped into to three overarching categories: cost

States. The Department’s founder, Bernie Sarchet, knew that many engineerseventually progressed to management positions during their career. This is still true today.However, most engineers did not have the benefit of studying management or business in themidst of a rigorous engineering curriculum. Graduate school, or trial by fire seemed to be theonly options for those engineers. However, Professor Sarchet came to UMR, a campus thatat the time did not have a school of business, and proceeded to develop a curriculum thatblended the rigors of a traditional engineering and science degree with courses that provideda strong foundation in business and management. Many who have knowledge ofEngineering Management at UMR believe that if a business

This marked difference in earning potential serves as a key factor influencing ashift in career trajectory, occurring either before or after undergraduate studies. Unfortunately,many students overlook crucial aspects such as job salary and availability when selecting theirundergraduate major. While personal interest often guides this choice, studies reveal that familialand peer pressure also plays a substantial role [2,3], leading students to pursue majors that maynot align with their passion or offer favorable job prospects and income.

programming.IntroductionAlthough most engineering faculty and professionals view computer programming as an essentialpart of an undergraduate engineering curriculum, engineering students do not always share thisviewpoint. In fact, engineering students outside of computer and electrical engineering may notrealize the value of computer programming skills until after they have graduated and advanced intheir career [1]. Failure to find value in computer programming may have negative consequencesfor learning. Indeed, engineering students who do not view programming as interesting or usefulshow poorer performance on tests of programming concepts than students who do [2]. This findingis consistent with theories of technology acceptance [3-4] that emphasize perceived usefulness
