academic performance incollege9.Most studies on homework have investigated the relationship between some aspect ofhomework, such as how much10, or type of assignment11, and performance in the current course.What is lacking in the literature are studies investigating the relationship between homeworkcompletion in high school and performance in college. The current study set out to answerquestions related to long-term benefits of homework completion in high school. Specifically, isthere a relationship between homework completion rates in high school and academicperformance or self-control in engineering school? Due to the interest in retention inengineering, analysis was also completed to look at the relationship between homeworkcompletion in high

Instead of GPA, attitudinal differences betweenminority and majority students were discovered that were related to a student’s likelihood ofremaining in the program [16, 17] [18]. Further evidence explained that students who leftengineering did so because of different perceptions of the institutional culture[10]. This studywas confirmed and evident in Tinto [19, 20] as it related to college students in all majors. Morespecific studies showed that female Science and Engineering undergraduates left engineering forthese same reasons [21, 22].Self-efficacy As defined by Bandura (1986), self-efficacy “refers to beliefs in one’s capabilities toorganize and execute the courses of action required to produce given

In addition, we examined how theseconstructs measured during the first semester may relate to engineering major choice at the end of the year.

Although the students will have seen the technicalconcepts needed to complete the work and have been exposed to design tools in earlier courses,for many, this will be the first time applying their engineering design skills
