it was definitelystrange to change my mind.” But in her new major, “I really, really like what I am in now andsince I started my new major it’s been doing a lot more science and less computers which wasnever my favorite. …I decided I’m going to law school…” She stated that via environmentallaw she “can make a bigger impact.” She also discussed the she would be graduating a semesterearly (after 3.5 years of college), since her new major required fewer credits. She noted that shewas looking forward to getting to pick her classes in the final semester.Persisting in Original Engineering DisciplinesA large contributor to Tanya’s persistence in EnvE may have been her early mentoringrelationship with an environmental engineering faculty member.

fossil fuel-based energy resources; � is cognizant of the impact of personal energy-related decisions and actions on the global community; and � strives to make choices and decisions that reflect these attitudes with respect to energy resource development and energy consumption. As engineering faculty, the authors believe that a technically literate public is crucial tothe development of rational energy policies. With this in mind, a faculty team from the Collegeof Engineering & Science developed a course on energy for nontechnical students. The coursehas been adopted into the university’s core curriculum, satisfying the objective for scientificliteracy in natural sciences. It is the first general education offering from

EngineeringContrary to hypothesis 1e, there was no clear increase in the number of students who planned topursue MS or PhD programs in engineering. However, there were changes in students’ planswith some students initially planning to pursue an MS or PhD who changed their minds afterparticipating in the program, and others who initially did not plan to pursue an MS or PhDprogram changing their plans to pursue a higher degree in engineering. There also was variabilityin students’ plans to pursue education and training in engineering labs after the program (seeTable 4).Consistent with the quantitative findings, the interview data indicated students did not change,but rather solidified their engineering education plans after participating in the IRES program(70
