                 education, the University of Nebraska --- Lincoln has
                 instituted a series of two freshman engineering courses
                 which are designed to motivate and retain these
                 students. A description of each of these courses and
                 the motivating factors of each are discussed. Creative
                 plots and conceptual engineering design projects are
                 used as a means of holding interest and teaching the
                 basic engineering skills. Surveys taken over a number
                 of years have shown an increase in the retention of
                 engineering students since these courses were
                 instituted. These surveys are discussed.",
