This paper provides a summary of a casestudy using a DipLab project as part of a term-length, writing assignment in courses forundergraduate and graduate environmental engineering students.

Also, it was feltthat the level of knowledge and learning acquired in the senior design course was insufficient formany of the professional skills.

These studies have helped guide efforts in implementing effectivestrategies to increase student retention, persistence, and degree completion. Two common themesrelated to engineering retention that have emerged from the literature are individual andinstitutional factors. Individual factors can be summed up as aptitude, pre-college preparation,academic performance, affective factors, personality traits, and satisfaction; while institutionalfactors include academic engagement, academic and career advising, environmental and socialdynamics, and climate

The findings from this earlierwork leads to the question of whether students with greater social motivation might be leavingengineering at a higher rate than others.Why would the social relevance of engineering (or perceived lack thereof) impact whether or notsome students leave engineering? A few underlying issues are likely at work. First, if helpingothers is a primary goal for students in their engineering careers and they lose confidence thatthese goals can be realized, their motivation toward engineering would clearly suffer. Intrinsicmotivation, interest congruence, and values alignment have been linked to retention inengineering in college and likelihood of persistence to engineering careers.10-13 Seeing a

Engineering on the other hand lacks asimplistic explanation due to its complexity and diversity of foci. Children often associateengineers as someone who operates a train (which is actually a matter of semantics depending onthe region), a person who fixes cars (auto mechanic) or someone in construction, which are alsocommon associations with adults as well.21-23 Parents that perpetuate these beliefs can potentiallypass down
