[21] found that 57% of the studentswho matriculated into engineering majors persisted in engineering to the 8th semester, the highestof all major groups (e.g. 51% social sciences, 41% other science/technology/math). The reasonsthat students leave engineering have been widely studied; a recent review clustered these intofive factors [22]: classroom and academic climate; race and gender; grades and conceptualunderstanding; self-efficacy and self-confidence; interest and career goals. Few students transferinto engineering [21] and engineering admittance criteria are usually more stringent than othermajors [23]. Thus, students with an environmental interest able to be admitted to engineeringmay choose that route, with the idea

These competencies includesubject matter expertise, teaching and assessment skills, instructional design and technology,and leadership and professional development. By working towards the systematicimprovement of these competencies, engineering educators can establish themselves ashighly qualified professionals who can make a significant impact on the education system.The international recognition of engineering educators also has a symbiotic effect on therecognition of

This is due to the fact that many STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts are not overtly or obviously visual or easy tomodel via experimentation, demonstrations, or traditional hands-on tools. Therefore, visualinstruction is key for all learners, not just those who have a proclivity for more visual modes ofinstruction.
