IMPACTS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROJECT PREFERENCES ON STUDENT MOTIVATION

To determine the impact of choices on a student’s approach and enthusiasm, we conducted research surveys concentrating on the priority of their choices for software engineering projects. Our data consist of graduate and undergraduate software engineering class surveys. We evaluated their motivation through several dimensions, including hours spent on the project outside of class as well as opinions and intentions with the project at the conclusion of the semester. Once we obtain all the responses from the pre and post semester surveys, we can determine how it impacts their decision in totality. If our study shows a direct relation between the allotted project and the preferred choice, we can deduce that the student was more engaged in his work. Being their preference, they were more inclined towards completing it in time, and with perfection. Although, a possibility cannot be overlooked wherein there was not a considerable divergence in a student’s choice. Owing to this, their level of commitment to the project may have involved other agencies in the play.
