This study is part of a larger body of work, the AcademicPathways Study (APS), conducted by the NSF-funded Center for Advancement of EngineeringEducation (CAEE).Introduction Which students persist in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields?Looking for ways to increase persistence rates, we frequently research the characteristics thatdifferentiate persisters and non-persisters. However, the choice to persist may not be as binaryas these two terms would imply. The research reported here begins to unravel the complexitiesof persistence by looking at the choice to be an engineer as a process extending over time andinvolving continually motivated decisions. By taking the perspective of students who persist inearning

STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means.

The same process may be occurring within engineering itself. Disciplines such asBME and ENV are framed with a “concrete and explicit intention to help -- rather than simply toadvance knowledge or technology”14. While not necessarily more helpful than other disciplinesin actual outputs, these newer and interdisciplinary specializations are presented as being tieddirectly to health and environmental benefits that can
