Out of concern for student safety, lab practices arereviewed. For accredited institutions, policies about safety in laboratories are documented inself-study reports to the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) [1]. Therefore, all institutions have documentedsafety policies, but those may not be publicly available.Students should be trained in how to safely conduct experiments.

[21] found that 57% of the studentswho matriculated into engineering majors persisted in engineering to the 8th semester, the highestof all major groups (e.g. 51% social sciences, 41% other science/technology/math). The reasonsthat students leave engineering have been widely studied; a recent review clustered these intofive factors [22]: classroom and academic climate; race and gender; grades and conceptualunderstanding; self-efficacy and self-confidence; interest and career goals. Few students transferinto engineering [21] and engineering admittance criteria are usually more stringent than othermajors [23]. Thus, students with an environmental interest able to be admitted to engineeringmay choose that route, with the idea
