influence of ELA onpost-graduation outcomes using graduates from a mid-sized public research university. The studyfound that field of study was an important predictor of post-graduate outcomes and suggestedthat future research analyze outcomes for students in specific degree fields for a more nuancedunderstanding of the influence of these experiences. Building on these studies, we explore theimpact of depth and breadth on the post-graduation outcomes of mechanical engineeringstudents.Post-graduation outcome 5The exploration of activities that influence post-graduation outcome of students is importantbecause students often cite economic reasons as
