This first assignment of the projectwas on exploratory grounds, aiming to overcome two major challenges: a) transfer to a big classof an activity and assessment type that the instructor has successfully used in smaller senior levelclasses; and b) the unpopularity of this specific class among students. Past surveys have pointedto two main reasons the class is unpopular: first, students do not immediately recognize this classas a CEE class, therefore association to CEE is a conscious, consistent effort throughout thesemester; second, similar to what has been reported in the literature (e.g. [13

A qualitative analysis showed that students mainly chose topursue a baccalaureate degree in engineering due to the financial reward, family influences,faculty support, and early childhood interest. Furthermore, students’ motivation to continue topursue an engineering degree was attributed to prestige, engineering experiences acquired,financial and academic support, faculty and peer support, and gain of engineering knowledgethroughout their academic journey.Implications of the study were: a) a set of small samples of data was analyzed, and b)examination of students belonging to a specific cohort.
