]found that in the STEM majors only 58% of students remain in those fields at the end of theirfreshman year. While there are numerous reasons for this attrition, it is likely that a part of theproblem is that first–year engineering students may not have an accurate understanding of theskills necessary for a successful career in engineering. Similarly, these first year students come tothe career with different motivations. The purpose of this research was to better understand theperceptions of first-year engineering students as they entered a program that was developed witha hands-on, practical focus in order to prepare students for industry after graduation.
