relevance is through a study of theEngineering Grand Challenges19. Students are challenged to think critically as they proposedesigns to address some aspect of one of the challenges and then explore ethical implications oftheir proposed designs. Although the logistic regression model was less successful in predictingwho changed majors out of engineering (the model only accurately predicted fewer than 15% ofthose cases), this is somewhat consistent with prior research that showed predicting whoachieves academically is more straightforward than predicting who underachieves20. In otherwords, there is often more variability underlying reasons for underachievement, and the same islikely true for students who change majors out of engineering to choose
