The negative language “I do not connect my future career with what I amlearning in this course” lends itself to the PI construct and may have confused students. The itemshould be altered or reconsidered for future analysis.This work is particularly valuable as FTP has been shown, quantitatively and qualitatively, tohave an impact on goal-setting and metacognitive strategies in the present [2], [6], [10]–[13], asstated in the Background section.

This focus often attracts more young women,propelling them into potential engineering and computer science careers later in life bypromoting opportunities for early STEAM education which work to close this stark gender gap.Creativity and music were at the forefront of each element of the program. According to a 2013study completed at Drexel University, students consistently perform higher in their overalleducation when they are exposed to the arts (Gregorio, 2013). This finding was reinforced in astudy performed by Michigan State University.

The largest increase was in “communities affected by their business,”which went from 66% of students ranking them “highest importance in the pre-survey to 86% inthe post-survey.The students also showed an increase in their belief that they would have to identify relevantstakeholders as a part of their future careers as engineers (Figure 2).

This idea of major and career selection relates to teaching and learning in the first yearwhile we have not studied it directly.This paper examines discipline selection and transfer for first-year engineering students. Throughthe use of a survey administered at three different points throughout at the first year (beginning,middle, and end), we were able to track students answers to two questions important to thiswork: 1) What was their current intended major, and 2) what was the student’s confidence in thischoice of discipline (using a Likert-type scale).
