For instance, is italarming that a significant number of graduating seniors in engineering are oblivious to errorsand uncertainty in measurement, gauge repeatability/reproducibility, fits/tolerances, etc., suchthat they are perplexed as to why a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a 2” diametercylinder

Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.

Among the courses, we identify differences in the extent to which theclasses of students: 1) improved in defining CSR and identifying historical trends in itsdevelopment; 2) broadened their understanding of stakeholders to include oppositional groups;3) believed that CSR would be relevant to their careers as engineers; and 4) considered thattraining in CSR had enhanced their interest in engineering ethics more broadly. We offerpreliminary thoughts on the main causes of those differences, including course content andcontext, instructor background, and length and depth of the CSR modules. Finally, we concludeby tying our research back to the existing work on engineering students’ attitudes and learningabout social responsibility to

findings ofan earlier study suggest that graduate student decisions are affected by some of the same factorsthat influence an undergraduate student [2], this literature is relevant to the current study.There are many factors that contribute to a student’s desire to switch or migrate into a differentmajor. In the STEM fields in particular, a common reason is that STEM departments are themost difficult grading departments at most colleges [1]. Other students become less interested inthe course work of their declared major or discover a preference for courses taken in otherprograms [3], while others perform poorly or find themselves otherwise unsuited for their currentprogram of study [4]. Furthermore, students may discover better career and
