However, just fewer than 20% had selected areas (Science, Electrical/IndustrialMaintenance, Construction, Computer Information Technology, and Homeland Security) thatcould lead to engineering. Additional information is necessary to ascertain the motivationsbehind these selections. The survey information collected will be used in the initial preparationof the new recruiting materials for both institutions.The University has updated many of its policies to assist veterans with the transition.

As noted by Astin and Astin (1) and again by Seymour andHewitt (2), approximately 50% abandon the physical and biological sciences, and approximately40% of those potential majors in engineering switch to non-science courses.
