PhD programs before graduating? 3. Can existing surveys of writing concepts, attitudes, and self-efficacies predict students’ risk for attrition?MotivationThough doctoral engineering education is understudied as a whole, attrition in graduateengineering education is particularly unexplored. Recent reports by the Council of GraduateSchools reported that in engineering, the 10-year completion rate for doctoral programs fordomestic students was only 59% [1]. Attrition is problematic for several reasons. First, since manydomestic students are funded by federal grants (through NSF, for example) and through domesticindustry, each domestic student that leaves academia prematurely represents a lost investment.Second, graduate students are
