- W2595076258 abstract "Abstract Measuring First Year Engineering Students’ Knowledge and Interest in Materials Science and EngineeringPrevious studies have shown that engineering students majored in other disciplines weregenerally not very familiar with Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). However, careerdecision theories suggest that people need to be both knowledgeable and interested towards acareer in order to make the choice of career. Thus, we hypothesize in this study that first-yearengineering students who choose MSE as their major are more knowledgeable and moreinterested in MSE than those who did not choose MSE. The purpose of this study was to measurefirst-year engineering students’ knowledge and interest in MSE, and to compare the results fromstudents who chose MSE as their major and students who did not. Open ended questions and aLikert-scale survey were used to collect data online from first-year engineering students by theend of the first semester. A mixed method approach was used to analyze the data qualitativelyand quantitatively. Open coding strategy was used to analyze the patterns of students’ answers toopen questions and to record frequencies. ANOVA as well as non-parametric statistic tests wereused to identify the differences between different groups of students from the Likert-scale surveyand frequencies form coding open-ended questions.This study involved 919 first year engineering students from a Midwestern university enrolledduring 2009 academic year. Among these participants, 23 students expressed an interest in MSEas their first choice. Forty five students identified MSE as their second choice. Sixty eightstudents were randomly selected from students who did not express their interest in MSE as acontrol group for the qualitative studies.The results indicated that: students who chose MSE as their 1st or 2nd choice were significantlymore knowledgeable and more interested in MSE than those who did not chose MSE; first-choice students were significantly more interested in MSE than 2nd-choice students, but thedifference in knowledge between 1st-choice and 2nd-choice students was not significant." @default.
