Self-efficacy theory provides an important framework fordifferentiating the career outcomes of students in engineering. In particular, positive self-efficacybeliefs appear to significantly affect persistence in undergraduate engineering programs. This studyfound that co-op programs appear to make a significant contribution to the enhancement of work self-efficacy.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to isolate those factors that contribute most to the development of threeself-efficacy dimensions thought to be most relevant to the retention of sophomores (especiallywomen) in undergraduate engineering: work, academic, and career.

In this paper, we report the results ofthe study incorporating these principal variables on retention over three time periods. Thedependent variable, retention, is calculated as the number of students who both stayed in theiruniversity and in their major. The three efficacy forms consist of work, career, and academicself-efficacy, signifying the confidence that students have in their own

Students usually spend three rotations learning aboutthe environment of their employers. They discover what actually working in engineering is allabout. But they also begin to understand the communication activities that will cause them tosucceed or falter in their careers. Not only must we study what it is that engineers do when they areout on co-op. We must reinforce those activities when they return to campus. This paper willinvestigate the communication needs of co-op engineers and the effect that our increased concernwith their perfection can have on the careers of the young engineer.IntroductionWhen
