The part time students are adult students who hold fulltime jobs. Hence, they are familiar with the workplace and know why they are going to schooland what they hope the degree will do for their career. We wanted to learn how similar theirresponses were, compared to the alumni responses and if current evening students could providea proxy for our alumni in future surveys. A total of 133 responses were received from EETstudents, including 74 alumni and 47 current part time students. RESULTSTo characterize the

Unfortunately, that attention is currently monopolized by the scandalaround FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, EA’s highest-profile champion.

Among thereasons reported as engineering majors’ reluctance to remain in engineering was “the lack, orloss of interest in science” and “the belief that non-STEM majors hold more interest, or offerbetter education” (Seymour, 1995). The lack of student interest or loss in their excitement topursue engineering as future career options can be associated with their learning experiences inundergraduate courses.Courses offered in undergraduate engineering programs can be highly technical and

Prior to the 20th century and beyond, womensupported science but not pioneers in the field; reflective of the patriarchal society they lived in.Commonly known as biological determinism, the physical, psychological, and intellectual natureof women prohibited them from producing great science [38].
