interesting pursuing would give an idea of what their baseline interest is inengineering and science fields. Figure 1. Student response to the question “What is the highest level of education you plan to pursue?” at the start of the year, prior to beginning any engineering activities with a graduate fellow.Students were asked which career fields they were interested in pursuing as a top choice and theresults are shown in Figure 2. More than 30% of students were interested in pursuing careerswithin the Arts, A/V technology and communication fields, a little over 15% were interested inHealth Science, and there is an even distribution among ten other career fields
