of our larger study.2. Prior Literature on Choosing Engineering in the Academy vs. IndustryFor nearly 60 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has tracked information about USAPhD recipients, their post-graduate plans, and their employment experiences well beyondgraduation. At least in the USA, most PhDs work in academia, but this number is on the decline[10]. The tracking of this information by the NSF has led some researchers to ask what makesscientists and engineers choose the kinds of jobs they do. Yet, the research on self-selection intoan academic versus industry career in engineering is limited. To begin, almost all of it isquantitative in nature, much of it focuses on STEM PhDs in general, and almost all of it isperformed on
