We ran Fisher’s exact tests to compare the enrollments in each course and found that therewas not a statistical difference in course enrollment percentages for the two different years,allowing us to combine them to create a larger data set (𝑛 = 814).ResultsStudy One: Retention in Engineering One Year LaterTable 1 includes retention rates in engineering for students starting in different

Biomedical engineers differ from medical practitioners,and are similar to other engineers, in that they are involved in research for and development ofnew technology, and do not engage in the study, diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biomedicalengineers differ from other engineers, and are similar to medical practitioners, in that they aim tocontribute to good patient care and healthcare. The ethical responsibilities of biomedicalengineers thus combine those of engineers and medical professionals, including a responsibilityto adhere to general ethical standards in research and

They arrive at college with a variety of expectations which are often not realized untilthey reach their Junior or Senior years. Their backgrounds in mathematics and science areprobably strong, and they may have participated in science fairs or class projects that are relatedto technology. However, they most likely have little or no sense of the complexity and attentionto detail that Engineering requires, or just how Engineers work and think as they solveengineering and design problems.Some engineering schools have required first
