Coupled with theprevalent attitude that engineering is more rigorous and difficult than education, at least on theundergraduate level, it follows that students anticipate to start with what seems “harder” to getinto (an engineering career) before “coming back” to the “easier” or more accessible teachingpathway.Notably, two interviewees plan to teach immediately following graduation.
