15.971.2with alternatives.In engineering, both as a specific career path and as a discipline of study, there exists an imbalancebetween the need for engineers in the work force and the level of student interest in the field.4This imbalance has driven educational researchers to study engineering education in terms ofeducational and professional persistence and the associated influencing factors. One such studyreported that engineering actually has a higher rate of persistence to graduation than other fields,but nevertheless noted that the lower enrollment of women in the discipline and the limitedpathways in to the discipline both contribute to lower numbers of engineering graduatesnationwide.5 Other studies of engineering educational persistence
