Both of these had strong connections to engineering. The strongpositive rating for the India Inventors appears to be due to the positive impact on people in India.For the in class topics, most students chose the more technical topics on the Cost of Mars andCongolese Wireless Network (which is also a very dramatic story). As a general rule, the favoritetopics seem to be ones that involve the positive impact of technology on human need, that bringtogether the students’ expertise and career goals with their desire to help people and make adifference.Students selected most of the possible

Within the US the proportion of Natural Sciences andEngineering (NS&E) degrees as a share of total degrees conferred in US has declined byapproximately eight percent from 2002 to 2007 [1]. There is evidence to suggest that some of thisdecline can be attributed to the student attrition during their first one or two years from thescience and engineering programs.Previous studies have indicated that significant student attrition or “switching” from science andengineering educational programs to other fields occurs during
