A qualitative study [15] on students migrating to industrial engineering (IE) showedthat students left their initial engineering major because of negative experiences with facultyand classes, very low interaction with faculty, and change in career goals to an industrialengineer. The other studies which have researched migrators are quantitative [10, 13] anddescribe metrics such as major stickiness (percentage of students that enroll and subsequentlygraduate in a major) and odds of graduation in the major.
