. The survey datafrom the past three years of study does not support this hypothesis. Interviews with thesestudents comprise a second part of this study, and preliminary results indicate that the majority ofstudents agree that computational modeling is “just an important part of all engineering”. It ispossible that students do not ENTER with significant variability in motivation, but their opinionsof computational modeling can change as they move through their curriculum. A supplementaryinvestigation is using the same survey to understand the motivation of first year and third yearstudents at another large midwestern university, and preliminary results from this analysis willalso be presented at this conference in another paper.References[1] B

After answering the question students get ascore for each of the four dimensions that ranges from 0 to 11. for example, the 11 itemsthat corresponded to the Activist/Reflective spectrum were added with a score of 1 if theresponse corresponded to Activist and a score of 0 if the response corresponded to Reflective.Sense of belonging to

Post-course surveys asked similar questions and added questionsabout how students think a hardware or software first approach would affect student learning andstudent frustration. The surveys also asked for student gender and year of study (first-year student,second-year student, etc.) to see if these were confounding factors in their survey responses. Thesurvey questions for the pre-survey and post-survey can be found in Appendix A and Appendix B,respectively.The surveys were not graded or strictly required, but response rates were nevertheless high.Response rates to the pre-survey and post-survey were 89% and 79%, respectively.
