However, making both faculty and students aware of this difference may providesubstantial advantages in both the educational, and future career, environments. The present study is recognized as being very preliminary. For example, the students in this particularuniversity are selected through a relatively rigorous admission process, likely resulting in a number of impacts onthe mindset of the incoming student. Further, the sample size (approximately 250 responses) is relatively limited.Despite the preliminary nature of this research, a

Studies vary, but typically report that only roughly halfof all students who enroll in science and engineering persist to the completion of their degree [1].For underrepresented minority students, the estimates are even lower, ranging from eighteen totwenty-two percent [2]. Addressing this issue begins with the moment that students arrive oncampus, as their first year can lay the foundation for their experiences as they proceed throughtheir undergraduate careers. However, understanding the reasons that students might choose toleave their initial discipline requires an examination of why they

-efficacy model [10] and the social cognitive career theory [22] have been widelyutilized in engineering education research. These models define self-efficacy as an individual’sbelief in their ability to successfully complete tasks and reach desired outcomes. Further, it isclaimed that an individual’s perceived self-efficacy towards a specific activity influences theirinterest towards it, both of which indirectly influence the individual’s choice to further practicethe activity and gain proficiency at it. This finding was repeated in engineering education by across-sectional study on educators and students, where it was found that engineering design self-efficacy was influenced by experience and correlated with task-specific motivation (i.e

One of themost commonly-cited reasons for why systems and industrial engineering attracts more womenthan other engineering disciplines is that it is perceived as having more feminine qualities.Brawner et. al [3]surveyed 70,000 students and concluded that feelings of “warmth” and the ideathat systems engineering is more generally applicable to a career led women to choose theconcentration.
