Furthermore, if they do persist, they may not be confident in pursuing a career inengineering. When surveyed about career intentions, 34% of engineering students indicated theywere unsure or definitely not intending to have a career in engineering [5]. Targeted planningand interventions from engineering departments or colleges could strengthen the students'confidence in pursuing an engineering career [5]. Students not only need to persist to graduation;they must also foster confidence in their chosen discipline to then pursue a career in that field.SUCCESS Scholars Program (SSP)The SUCCESS Scholars Program at Louisiana Tech
