Given that the majority of engineeringgraduates have only extensively been in the educational system [15], it is vital to identifyapproaches that allow them to better thrive in the workplace. Katz found that engineering studentswho had directly engaged with the professional engineering environment through interviews, co-op assignments, and seminars had “expectations [of their workplace responsibilities]…that muchmore closely matched the expectations of the professionals than…the students who had not”engaged with the professional world [29]. Similarly, problem-based learning through a capstonedesign course was shown to increase software engineering students’ confidence in their technicalabilities and improve their self-efficacy

A number of possible causes for this have been examined;Laanan et al. found in a survey of transfer students that many felt less comfortable interactingwith faculty at their new institution, and some felt increased stress and received lower grades [3].Concannon and Barrow found that engineering transfer students have lower self-efficacy thanfirst-time freshman, which was theorized to be due to transfer shock [4].A systematic literature review [6] was unable to locate research on transfer students after theirfirst post-transfer year, although the same

Retention Problem and Gauging Interest in Interdisciplinary Integration into Undergraduate CurriculumAbstractUnderrepresented minorities (URMs) leave the engineering field at a rate significantly higherthan average. Researchers conclude that low self-efficacy, lack of support, and hostile andbenevolent discrimination are contributing causes. We contend that URMs’ lack of retention inengineering is due to a push by these causes, as well as a pull towards fields that more closelyalign with their identity. To explore further, a Qualtrics survey instrument was developed tounderstand the experiences of people who have fully or partially left the engineering field.

The author aimed to find the impact of anoutreach camp on computing confidence, intent to persist, social support, and computing outcomeexpectations. The survey instruments measured these constructs rather than enrollment. However,in the Discussion section the author makes note of camp enrollment numbers.

Unfortunately, the lack of response from uninterested facultyprevents us from characterizing the differences between this population and those willing toimplement the intervention.

An analysis of pre-college extracurricular activities and their mapping to engineering majors showed that traditionaldisciplines, such as MechE and EE, had more students tinkering with electrical or mechanicalcomponents outside of school prior to entering college[8]. When girls are not part of extracurricularrobotics programs, they miss vital opportunities to develop tinkering self-efficacy. If we can attract moregirls to participate in pre-college robotics, we may open a pathway for these students to developattitudes and self-beliefs that lead them to join majors with lower representation of women [6].Critical Engineering

engineers do. These questions were crafted as the authors had previously observed thatmiddle school students abandoned the idea of becoming an engineer either because of lack ofself-confidence in succeeding as an engineer or lack of understanding of what engineers do (e.g.,more than build bridges, make cars, and work at chemical plants). The survey began with a set ofLikert-type statements to determine students’ interest and self-efficacy in engineering with thechoices: yes, a lot; yes, a little bit; not sure; probably not; and no way (see Appendix B). Thenext question was open-ended and directed students to list as many types of engineering as theycould. The last question consisted of a list of 14 things and instructed students to answer
