TL;DR: The authors found that engineering students are typical of students in other majors with respect to: persistence in major; persistence by gender and ethnicity; racial/ethnic distribution; and grade distribution, concluding that engagement is a precursor to persistence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of homonymity in homonym-finding.ing.ing, e.g., homoencoding.

TL;DR: This article used a mixed-methods design to investigate students' career decision making at two U.S. undergraduate institutions and found that only 42 percent of students surveyed reported that they definitely intended to pursue a career in engineering, 44 percent were unsure, and 14 percent were definitely not pursuing engineering.

TL;DR: This article examined the influence of U.S. federal policy on engineering education over the past forty years, with special attention to the impact of efforts to increase the numbers of women and minorities in the STEM workforce.

TL;DR: This paper explored three research questions: How do engineering students rate their college engagement compared to students in other majors, how do engineering persisters, non-persisters, and migrators compare in terms of collegiate engagement, time on task, and enriching educational experiences? What college engagement factors predict persistence in engineering?
