Of the two, the area thathas received the most amount of research is the relationship between cooperative educationexperience and employment outcomes.The 1990s brought together a number of studies examining the direct benefits of cooperativeeducational experiences on initial wages.

respondents initially filled out a 20-minute survey, among which were assessments of the three forms of self-efficacy. They thenfilled out a comparable post-survey one year later (as third year students) during which thoseselecting co-op would have completed their first co-op placement. At the completion of thestudy, there will be an attempt to determine whether the participation in not only one but two co-ops can reverse a trend, especially among women undergraduates, to drop out of engineeringbecause of their lack of confidence in continuing their concentration in engineering studies.IntroductionThis study is part of a larger research project, supported by a National Science FoundationResearch on Gender in Science and Engineering program grant
