These data showed that twenty-threepercent of those students persisted to earn BS degrees in their initially declared programs ofBiomedical (BMET), Computer (CpET), Construction (CEMT), Electrical (EET) andMechanical Engineering Technologies (MET). Nearly half (48%) of the ET students switched Page 26.1441.2programs one or more times; 3% into other

Both have contributed to engineering’sexclusivity and tendency to marginalize those who challenge the myths. As Shaun Harperwarned, an education that avoids engaging with social context and, for example, conversationsabout race, risks graduating “accidental racists” [25, 26].
