persistence toward graduating with an engineering degree.Student attitudes and beliefs are known to be important. For example, student beliefs aboutengineering career security and salary are predictors for persistence [3]. Student career aspirationhas also been observed as an indicator of persistence [2]. Other studies have highlighted theimportance of guidance and clarification of the role of engineers through advising, as manystudents may have incorrect assumptions about the culture of engineering [4]. One studyidentified six broad factors that drive attrition from engineering: classroom and academicclimate, grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high schoolpreparation, interest and career goals, and race and gender

Furthermore, labs, projects, and a close relationship with their professor help studentsselect a major [11].
