a greater percentage than working engineers.As to persistence in engineering, a number of studies [1], [2], [4], [5], [14] found that students’abilities, perception of abilities, especially in mathematics play a big part. Another largecontributing factor to persistence is student aspirations and how well the discipline – or moreaccurately, their perception of the discipline – lines up with their career aspirations and personalinterest. To improve retention, engineering programs need to ensure that students recognize howtheir career aspirations and personal interests align with their chosen field early in their studies.Toward this end, an accurate picture of student interest is needed.Study PopulationThe authors teach an introductory course

Application of thisframework, in the form of a review of the literature of the engineering Ph.D. researchexperiences, identified the five ontological aspects that are most important for career preparationand should be measured by the assessment; viz.

goals that primarily drive engineering education [1, 2] are 1) improving student-learning experience and 2) preparing the students for a successful future career. Recent researchon effective engineering education [1, 2] suggests multiple approaches for student success in theclassroom and beyond. These learning approaches focus on the engagement of students in theclassroom and outside by creating a teachable moment using inductive learning [3, 4, 5], activelearning via in-class activities [6, 7], experiential learning [8, 9, 10], visual learning [2, 11], andproject-based learning [12, 13], to name a few.
