Numerous studies have identified factors that drive students to leave engineeringincluding classroom climate, academic success (i.e., grades and conceptual knowledge), self-confidence/self-efficacy, academic preparedness, career interests and race and gender [1].Retention efforts often expend resources to address insufficiencies in on one or more of theseissues.Engineering programs rely heavily on mathematical success not only because engineeringcourses are mathematically oriented, but also because they

As a result, compared tothe post-Sputnik era when the challenges of space exploration attracted vast numbers oftalented youth to pursue engineering careers, in recent years there has been a significantplateau or even decline in the numbers of engineering students graduates.This decline so far has mainly been offset by an influx of immigrant engineers andtechnologists, particularly at the graduate and doctoral levels. For example, nearly 70percent of Ph.D. degrees in engineering in the US are awarded to graduate students offoreign origin. Many of these graduates have in the past tended to stay back in the US.However, the globalization of economic development and the resulting higher

This work is specifically relevant, asone of the major objectives of the educational process is for students to acquire theoretical andconceptual knowledge [32]. However, the educational imperative for engineering education goesbeyond this objective. Developing technical expertise also requires developing practical skillsthrough hands-on experiences. Instructional labs in engineering help translate conceptualknowledge to practical experiences that reflect real-world scenarios, which engineeringgraduates will encounter during their engineering careers. However, gaps often exist betweenthe skill sets that engineering employers
