Overview This paper describes a research study to measure how students’ affordance beliefsabout the electrical and computer engineering (ECE) profession impact motivation to persistin their degrees, and ultimately into the profession. A cross-sectional study was conductedat a 4-year land grant institution on students in both novice and advanced ECE courses.Surveys were used to measure student beliefs

By promoting a more engaging and holistic learning approach,students can have the opportunity to become better problem solvers.Accordingly, ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has published strictcourse outcome requirements for accredited programs. It is the intent of this paper to highlightvarious methods of teaching engineering economics to students in ways that maximize learning,as well as emphasize its importance for the modern engineer. Through the vigilantimplementation of various teaching styles, experiential learning

They also hoped to motivate the students to choose careers in engineering.Finally, this group wanted to aid these students in building a strong background in mathematicsand physical sciences; a background that would enable the student to enter directly into the corecurriculum of any engineering school with confidence in their ability to successfully completethe program and graduate.Consequently, from these ideas came the development of the Richmond Area Program forMinorities in Engineering (RAPME).

That preference, unfortunately, declines as students move to upper level classes5and find science, mathematics, and engineering courses as “dull and unwelcoming”6. For manystudents, “The way science and math are taught critically affects their interest and laterparticipation in science and engineering”7.

This approachoffers several advantages.10 First, because students can learn the basics of Web design quicklyand because the desk-top computer serves as a rapid-prototyping machine for these products, it ispossible for the design teams to develop quite sophisticated prototypes (which real users canexamine and test) in a short time. Second, Web pages are easy (and inexpensive) for students toreverse-engineer. Third, even modest Web-based designs present teams with interestingchallenges, both as engineers and as writers.
