Default the use of e in Excel

I have a series of part numbers that include the letter e. ( EX: 38E275 )
Excel is treating these as Exponents (I thnk) and I see the value changed
into scientific notation. I know that I can change the formatting in the cell
to text and it works properly but...Is there a way that I can get excel to
stop treating "e" as an exponent for the whole sheet w/o changing all of my
numbers to text.

Thank you for your help and advice
