questionstargeted by our study are more focused toward learning where and when students move out oftheir originally planned major.A third study at Frostburg State University (Soysal, et al., 2003) looks at the enrollment profile oftheir first year classes from 1997 through 2002. [3] From this they were able to determinemigration out of either electrical or mechanical engineering programs. The work, however,measures a relatively small sample (about 40 students per year) and does not track the otherengineering majors.As such, a research gap exists that this study aims to fill. The scope of this paper is to observe,not necessarily analyze. To be clear, at the time of this writing we are not looking to answerquestions regarding students underlying motives for

The simple in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), for example,might lead you to think it is a protocol, or a set of rules, for simple network management. In fact, networkmanagement is never simple nor are the protocols that are used to implement it.
