Only 31percent of students who start in engineering obtain an engineering degree within six years.4There are many reasons for the high attrition rate in engineering, such as: (1) a more stringentcurriculum that requires a solid basis in sciences and math; (2) lack of spare time for Page 13.628.2extracurricular and social activities, (3) lack of hands-on engineering projects in students’ firstyear

A better understandingof the barriers that result in students disconnecting or dropping out of STEM fields is essentialfor increasing engagement and retention of STEM undergraduate students.There is a growing demand for skilled STEM workers in both the United States and around theworld. However, despite this growing need for a skilled STEM workforce, there is a highattrition rate among STEM undergraduate students, with 48% of students leaving their STEMfields (Chen, 2013).
