Khalid, Adeel
Universal Journal of Educational Research, v1 n1 p20-25 2013
In this paper, we explore what events, activities, and teaching styles invoke student interest in engineering courses. The research is based on inputs from some of the best and award winning faculty members across disciplines. The activities that professors use to keep students engaged are highlighted. Similarly, the actions that professors take to turn students away are discussed.
