reviews are a type of literature review that takes a systematic approach to search,review, and synthesis of information on a defined topic. A well-designed review will achieve“exhaustive and comprehensive searching”[1] for relevant evidence while minimizing selectionbias. As the volume of scientific publications has surged exponentially over the past severaldecades [2], with a recent study showing that the number of publications in the Physical andTechnical Sciences doubles every 11.9 years [3], the need for systematic reviews to collate andsynthesize all this research has become critical. The general field of engineering has seen the risein published research review papers that many other fields have seen recently [4-6]. Conversely,performing

confidence.1. IntroductionChoosing a major is a pivotal decision in a student's academic journey, setting the course fortheir future career and professional development [1], [2], [3], [4]. Engineering is a cornerstone ofmodern society, driving innovation, solving complex problems, and improving the quality of lifefor people around the globe. As a field of study covering a broad range of disciplines, includingmechanical, electrical, civil, and computer engineering, engineering offers diverse career pathsand opportunities. However, the decision to pursue a major in engineering is not one to be takenlightly, given its rigorous curriculum and the demands of the profession. As a result,understanding engineering as a major is paramount, not only for
