I discuss the syllabus with them and tell them that how this class is related to their course and how its going to help them in long run.

I teach a course that a lot of students find dull; they feel like it has little value. I talk to them on the first day of the course as I introduce the course material. I explain that other types of machines use similar technology. I do this in order to draw parallels and let the students know that the technology that I teach can be found in other areas, especially ones they may find more interesting. I let them know that they are free to ask questions about technical problems they might be encountering that sounds similar to the technology I teach. I stay upbeat rather than let them "drag me down" with their negativity. I become a salesman for my own course.
