The effect of required introduction to engineering courses on retention and major selection
conference contribution
posted on 2017-12-06, 00:00 authored by M Orr, C Brawner, Matthew OhlandMatthew Ohland, R LaytonStudents who matriculated in undergraduate engineering programs are studied to determine the effects of a required introduction to engineering course on major selection. Requiring such a course appears to affect the way the students sort themselves into majors, particularly students who do not declare a specific engineering major at matriculation. Such courses also seem to enhance retention in engineering programs compared to programs that do not require a common introductory course.
