Purdue University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 An Introductory Overview of Strategies used to Reduce Attrition in Engineering ProgramsIntroductionThe United States requires qualified engineers for economic growth and prosperity. However,student retention is a challenge that faces engineering education. Reports from US universitiesshow that student retention rates in engineering are in the range of 40-60% with attrition being awell-known issue1,2,3.Studies concluded that inadequate teaching techniques and students’ lack of identification withtheir field of study also resulted in them discontinuing their degree program4.

The sophomore year in engineering represents a pivotaltransition to specialized training and focused learning as students immerse themselves in thechosen discipline, in contrast to the first year, where the emphasis is on fundamental subjects likemathematics and physics. In addition to academic adjustments, sophomore students more oftenface retention-related decisions, such as selecting a major, determining belongingness andcommitment to the institution, and considering dropping out of college [5]. Recently, researchershave called for more empirical investigations to understand the factors contributing to thiswidespread slump in the sophomore year and the
