students are placed into related tothe type of engineering degree students attained? Appendix A provides a full table with countdata related to degree selection per each track. As is consistent with the literature, studentsselecting a major outside of engineering was the most populous category for each track—containing 20% of track 1 students, 26% of track 2 students, and 16% of track 3 students. Thenext most common major selections for track 1 included: Mechanical Engineering (15%),Aerospace Engineering (15%), and Industrial Engineering (14%). The other most commonmajor selections for track 2 included: Industrial Engineering (13%), Civil Engineering (12%),and Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (9%) along with Aerospace Engineering (9%).Track 3

now I'm taking physics, general physics one and calc two, so that way I can‬ ‭apply for aerospace by the end of the summer and then hopefully get into aerospace so I‬ ‭can take aerospace classes in the fall.‬ ‭Due to the shortened timeline, the classes would be challenging, but catching up is really‬ ‭important for students. One student expressed this when they said,‬ ‭I know it's going to be a lot, especially because there's so short amount of time, the‬ ‭classes themselves are two hours or something like that. They're long. I know it's going to‬ ‭be a lot, but I personally just really want to be back on track, which is why I'm doing it

of courses taken for CR/NC/GC vs GPA, for all students.Finally, in Fig. 13, we separate the students by their majors and check the negative correlation betweenGPA and the fraction of courses taken for CR/NC/GC. For the majors Systems Engineering,Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering, there indeed is a negativecorrelation as may be expected (-0.31, -0.30, -0.45, and -0.55 respectively) Figure 13: Fraction of courses taken for CR/NC/GC vs GPA for students from the four largest majors.The interesting results come from our Aerospace and Chemical Engineering majors (Fig. 14), althoughadmittedly our datasets are small. For these majors, students with a higher GPA are more likely to opt forCR
