Thispositive engineering affect outweighs her less positive affect towards mathematics in herdecision to remain in the major. Noelle’s case shows a more moderate case of a student persistingin the major: after switching into engineering later in her college career rather than beginning asa first-year student, her global affect towards engineering is not as positive as Hope’s.
