work is part of a larger study exploring the experiences of rural engineering students. Inaddition to investigating the motivations behind rural students’ decisions to pursue engineering,the study explored the formation of engineering identity and barriers rural students face whileentering an engineering community of practice [20]. A sample of the questions developed tospecifically probe the research question of this paper is as follows: • Why did you choose to attend college? • Why did you choose this university? • Why did you choose an engineering major? • What motivates you? • After graduation, do you plan to return to your rural community? Why or why not?Data AnalysisInterviews were recorded and transcribed by a

Illinois.Wright College’s student success rates measured by completion have been strong and improvingrelative to other national urban community colleges, but are below state and national averages.In 2015 the college piloted a selective guaranteed admission program, Engineering Pathways (EP),to one of the nation’s top engineering schools (The Grainger College of Engineering at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana Champaign, UIUC). Initial results for the small first-year cohort werevery positive: 89% transfer rate and all students who transferred to UIUC graduated. Theprogram’s initial success rested on a) cohort model with a small number of students and strongcontrols; b) co-branding that attracted local students interested in pursuing engineering at UIUCwho

Our results indicate that (as in othersemesters), students who attended SI sessions had statistically significant higher course GPAsthan those who did not attend, but an added benefit was that almost 40% of students in the courseregularly attended SI this fall, compared to previous fall semesters where only 12-22

onintroducing students to engineering, the focus of such interventions and studies has shifted toconstructs that researchers believe will be better predictors of students choosing to pursueengineering as a college major and/or career (Hynes et al., 2017). Those include identity,perceptions of engineering, attitudes and beliefs toward engineering, self-efficacy in engineering,and interest in engineering. One factor that has been consistently cited among those conductingresearch and evaluation of such programs is students’ perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs towardengineering (Hynes et al., 2017). There have been mixed results with respect to the extent towhich in-school and out-of-school engineering programs are able to increase students’perceptions

We envision a delivery of different subsets of the EOP frameworkcompetencies across the project-spine to ensure meaningful engagement is achieved for allcompetencies. This approach allows for at least two synergistic pedagogical and researchopportunities: 1) emphasizing a different subset of EOP competencies in different PjBLcourses allows students to see the interdependencies between those competencies in moredepth; and 2) spreading

migrators faced the sameproblems as students who dropped out of STEM majors (leavers) but chose another STEMmajor. A qualitative study [15] on students migrating to industrial engineering (IE) showedthat students left their initial engineering major because of negative experiences with facultyand classes, very low interaction with faculty, and change in career goals to an industrialengineer. The other studies which have researched migrators are quantitative [10, 13] anddescribe metrics such as major stickiness (percentage of students that enroll and subsequentlygraduate in a major) and odds of graduation in the major. Quantitative studies into whystudents drop a major cannot provide the rich description obtained from a qualitative studythat is
