to persist within a given major or switch to anotherare complex. The factors that affect student decisions can be broadly classified into three groupsas (a) academic resources, (b) internalization and perceptions of the major and career, and (c)climate and experiential effects. The academic resources include lectures, recitations, andlaboratories; faculty and teaching assistants; university services such as advisors and careerplacement; and academic services such as study centers and academic progress monitoring.Internalization refers to perceptions of the self including confidence, self-efficacy, anddetermination to succeed. Perceptions of the major and career include students’ interest inchoosing and retaining engineering as a major and a

intendedobjective is to increase the support of, and participation in, the “BRIDGE” program at GeorgiaSouthern University. Another measure taken will be to encourage faculty to participate in communityactivities involving underrepresented groups. Additionally, the department plans to provide a nurturingenvironment for incoming freshmen through retention initiatives like the ‘Living LearningCommunity’. Progress will be measured by tracking enrollment, retention and diversity statistics, andidentifying the most prevalent recruitment avenues through the administration of a freshman survey.
