how these attributes can be nurtured byinstitutional interventions. Anisa, a Materials Science and Engineering student and George, a MechanicalEngineering student, possessed the qualities of “active agents,” a term we coined to describeengineering students who are both individually driven and spurred to success by their socialstandpoints. In their interviews, they offered striking insights into active agents’ motivations tosucceed in engineering higher education. Anisa claimed that she stole her education: Page 26.1067.5 Anisa: Engineering was not a choice given to me. It was something I had to reach for and steal

In a New York Times article, she writes: “As a psychologist whostudies world-class achievers, I can say the reality of following your passion is not veryromantic. It takes time to develop a direction that feels so in-the-bones right that you never wantto veer from it. Thus, my advice to young graduates is not to ‘follow your passion’ but rather, to‘foster your passion’” [26]. To this end, engineering educators can look for curricular andco-curricular ways to help students adjust their expectations and increase their patience as theysearch for a productive and healthy alignment between their personal and professional

Perceived barriers include internal factors (such as confidence in abilityto manage the difficult situations that may arise) and external factors (such as ability to obtainstudent loans).Choice of Major in STEM FieldsA major focus area in engineering education research has been improving the levels of retention,persistence, and recruitment of engineering students. Reasons for students to enter engineeringprograms include the influence of family, high school teachers, and peers; previous success inmath and science courses; and interests in the career track as stated by Seymour & Hewitt.8 Thelarge-scale study investigated relationships between choice of a science, math, or
