All appropriate human subjects’ procedures were followed according to our institutions’ policies.As indicated in Table 1, this survey was administered to a total of 543 students in classes situated in the first, second or third year of the engineering curriculum. All three courses are taught in engineering colleges, ranging from a first-year introductory design course (“Course 1: Engineering Projects”), open to students from any major, to a second-year design course for mechanical engineering students (“Course 2: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Programming and Hardware Interface”) to a junior-level core engineering science course that predominantly enrolls electrical engineers (“Course 3: Fundamentals of Engineering
