However, that clarity is tempered by the stress of the academicexpectations themselves, as well as the potential implications of failure to fulfill them.Besides academics, expectations can also come from engineering superiors, who were definedas entities within the engineering major with influence to directly and professionally influence astudents’ grades, learning environment, career-related decisions and other engineeringexperiences. These entities range from individuals such as professors to small organizations suchas the student advising center.For example, if an instructor unknowingly creates a hostile learning environment with rigidexpectations and methods, the learning experience can become extremely stressful

For example, students who participate inengineering-related events outside of class are more likely to feel connected to the community ofengineers and see more value in persisting to degree completion.

It isquite possible that by helping students to make better-informed decisions about their major, somestudents may be “counseled out” of engineering. If that is the case, the seminars were successfulboth in helping the students make a better choice, and in improving the confidence (andmotivation?) of the pool of students that continue in engineering.Table 1 shows the comparison between major choice at the end and beginning of the seminar.
