Homework
Your participation is voluntary and confidential and the results of the study
are expected to help students, researchers, and administrators in
engineering programs in general and the Texas A&M engineering program
in particular. If you agree to participate, after completing the survey (~15
minutes), you will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift
card. Odds of winning are 1 out of 100 (e.g. one gift card will be drawn for
every 100 surveys).
