Novice or beginner sees the content of science as isolated pieces of information handed down by authority and disconnected from the world around them. Every learner do carry beliefs about learning a given technical subject and Novice like beliefs affect their learning. It is expected that after going through training under a given course their beliefs should turn in to Expert like beliefs. This survey intended to find the change in the Cognitive beliefs amongst engineering students if at all, by well known Maryland Physics Expectancy test (MPEX test). Also their brain Hemisphericity dominance was observed at entry and exit level with the help of Hemisphericity Dominance Test (HDT).
