Previous research hasshown that significant factors influencing choice of major for college students include (1)general interest subject; (2) family and peer influence; (3) assumptions about introductorycourses, (4) potential job characteristics, and (5) characteristics of the major. The student'sdecision on choice of major is often difficult because traditional university-aged students havelittle to no direct experience with the engineering profession or practicing engineers. Someuniversities confront this problem with a common first-year engineering experience, whereinengineering majors are given the opportunity to explore the specialty areas and make a

However, we prefer the term intercoder reliability in the context of muchof qualitative research because this term more fully encapsulates the possibility for inductively-generated

In our study,persistence is defined as both completion of an engineering undergraduate program and stayingin the field for one year following graduation. Few studies examine persistence beyond graduation, and, because almost half ofengineering degree holders do not enter engineering occupations [2], we studied participantsduring a critical juncture in their trajectory — the last year of their studies and the first year oftheir professional lives — to better understand this phenomenon. Thus, the research is expectedto contribute to the extant knowledge base on Latinx’ positionality

A national survey ofcapstone design courses that included faculty beliefs and teaching practices by Pembridge andParetti showed that teamwork, as a separate topic from project management, were rarely in thetop five topics covered in the course [18]. Much attention in literature has been focused aroundhow to form teams [19-23] and using peer-evaluation to improving teamwork skills [24, 25] butthere are still many open-ended questions relating to the best way to manage and mentor teams[15].One major reason for benchmarking teaming experiences currently in the curriculum is to betterunderstand where students are exposed to teams throughout a curriculum.

These criteria have evolved over time. In part, in response toindustry’s dissatisfaction with the professional skills of graduates—such as skills incommunication and navigating corporate and societal contexts—ABET transitioned tooutcomes-based education and introduced 11 “a–k” outcomes spanning technical andprofessional skills [12]. These outcomes are informed by input from
