Thus, the need to prepare CECM college students for a smooth transition from theacademic program to the workplace becomes necessary.Civic engagement and service learning have increasingly become an integral part of learning andteaching strategies across many universities and colleges nationwide. As such, CECM facultyrecognizes the benefit in combining civic engagement and service learning activities with theCECM curriculum. Introduced at beginning engineering courses

Regarding critical thinking, the students mentioned how they had a lack ofunderstanding for how various disciplines interacted in a big system. One student mentionedhow they would like to understand how a plot of land goes from barren to a building andwhat specific considerations are required. This example best illustrates the gap the studentswere describing: they lacked the ability to design the details. When entering their workforce,it was these details that they needed to figure out and work with. Another student described itas “think[ing] outside the box and be[ing] able to solve problems”.

Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention

However, there are many more degree programs and graduates inEnvSci, increasing competition for those jobs. As well, EnvE graduates can often take EnvScijobs, should they choose to do so.Thus, previous research points to a variety of factors that impact students decisions about whichcollege majors they choose to enroll in, and factors that may impact their persistence. However,it is unclear the extent to which these factors are important to the pathways of students withinitially strong interests in both environmental issues and engineering.
