Manyconstruction related programs encourage or mandate internships prior to graduation, and it isproposed to study whether this has any effect on the students’ behavior toward their studies asthey progress.

The relationships between gender and both engineering identity andpersistence were completely mediated by peer relations, but were not significantly mediated byfaculty support. Unlike gender, race had a significant independent effect on both engineeringidentity and persistence that was not mediated by other predictors. This suggests that otherfactors not captured by this set of predictors influenced their identification with the disciplineand their persistence.To better understand aspects of the program climate that influenced persistence and disciplinaryidentification, we conducted a qualitative analysis of responses to two open-ended items whichasked students to state identify the “best” part of
