, engineering self-efficacy 2 and engineering careeroutcome expectations were significant predictors of men’s persistence in engineering.Engineering self-efficacy 1 measures a student’s ability to reach academic milestones focusingon courses (Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics) as barriers. Engineering self-efficacy 2 measuresa student’s ability to reach academic milestones facing all undergraduate engineering majors.This tells us that, for this sample, mastering coursework (earning an A or B) is the mostsignificant predictor for women’s persistence in engineering, and completing coursework (notnecessarily obtaining an A or B—merely completing the course) is the most significant predictorfor men’s persistence in engineering. For both men and women

The decision support systemrecommends students predicted to have a FS GPA of CT or below to have a B or higher in pre-calculus. This rule is further investigated by studying two cohorts of students with a FS GPA ofCT or below, students that did not stay past four semesters, and students that did stay for at leastfour semesters. The authors studied the grades students received when taking pre-calculus asshown in Table 4. The provided analysis shows that students who receive a B or higher for pre-calculus tend to stay past
