The results from this studyprovide pragmatic implications for university stakeholders committed to developing a genuinelyveteran-friendly community in STEM graduate programs. IntroductionOver the past few decades, the science and technology sector has drawn great public attention aspeople witness its visible impact on society and everyday lives. The rapid development of globalscientific and technological developments also fueled the proliferation of STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers and STEM education.

Xu [10]found that academic integration (participation in organized academic activities with peers,working with students outside class, interacting with faculty outside class concerningcoursework) was one of the strongest indicators of student retention in STEM majors.Zimmerman [11] found that students with high levels of self-efficacy work harder, participate inclass, persist longer, and have fewer negative reactions when they encounter difficulties in theirmajor.

a greater percentage than working engineers.As to persistence in engineering, a number of studies [1], [2], [4], [5], [14] found that students’abilities, perception of abilities, especially in mathematics play a big part. Another largecontributing factor to persistence is student aspirations and how well the discipline – or moreaccurately, their perception of the discipline – lines up with their career aspirations and personalinterest. To improve retention, engineering programs need to ensure that students recognize howtheir career aspirations and personal interests align with their chosen field early in their studies.Toward this end, an accurate picture of student interest is needed.Study PopulationThe authors teach an introductory course
