In order to investigate reasons contributing to the decline in enrollment in computing programs in colleges and universities, this study examined student attitudes towards computing throughout an introductory computing course. The study was conducted to examine the status of computer use and attitudes among polytechnic students. It also identifies the relationships among the variables and the predictors of computer attitudes. External variables (such as computer experience and frequency of use), perceived usefulness and confidence are included as potential antecedents of attitudes toward computer [1]. This paper is a preliminary analysis of the computer attitude data of all students in all courses. The results indicated that after statistically significant increases in positive attitudes toward computers. The conclusion is that initial enthusiasm for computers, which may come from familiarity with using computers for recreational activities, drops rapidly as the work of learning computing concepts and skills begins.
