statistics, over two million people received bachelor’s degrees in theUnited States in 2019, but only 6.3% of them were engineering graduates[1]. NSF’s NationalSurvey of College Graduates in 2017 found that only 55% of engineering bachelor’s graduateswork as engineers, and less than 6% of employees in the engineering workforce hold degreesfrom non-engineering disciplines [2]. This indicates that engineering jobs require specializedtraining in engineering, but engineering graduates have more job opportunities in other fields.Other studies have shown that approximately 50-60% of students drop out of their engineeringprograms in the first two years in the United States [3]. Therefore, only approximately 25% first-year engineering students ultimately
