Work-in-Progress: A semester-long circuit project for general engineering students

The fundamentals of electrical engineering are typically covered in a semester-long course designed for non-electrical & computer engineering(ECE) students.However, many non-ECE students often lack motivation to take this course.While hands-on projects are commonly used to enhance student motivation and engagement, they are usually conducted at the end of the semester, which may not effectively retain students who lose interest early on.To address this issue and maintain constant motivation, we propose a semester-long circuit project.Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) and course GPA will be used as evaluation metrics of effectiveness of the proposed project.By implementing this approach, we aim to foster sustained student interest and active participation through the entire course.
