Nationally,less than 50% of the students who enrolled in engineering curriculum complete the program [1].At Colorado State University, we typically lose 40% of our electrical and computer engineeringstudents during the first two years of their undergraduate engineering program [2]. The causes for the declining attrition trend can be attributed to many factors from socialsupport systems available to students, to low self-efficacy due to poor academic performance, tolack of perceived value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required to gothrough the program, to the rigid ECE curriculum structure and the lecture-style learningenvironment that discourage active and inquiry-based learning [1,3,4,5

This could point to a missing link withrespect to developing a professional sense of social responsibility in engineers that could drawfrom the existing HSS influences that students reported. One student actually discussed howtheir humanities class influenced them negatively with respect to their views of engineering,saying: “Mostly the humanities, the engineering classes I took made me realize how irrelevant my major (mechanical engineering) is to making a difference in the world. I don't plan on using my major for anything in the future- planning on shifting my career path to the humanities/social sciences.”This response came from a female, senior engineering student who

Moreover, as PBL continues togain traction in engineering education, it will become necessary to determine the extent to whichit prepares students for professional practice. If PBL can implemented such that it shrinks thegap between students’ conception of school knowledge and professional knowledge, it is likelythat implementing PBL more broadly can better equip students for careers in engineering.ReferencesAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
