The Engineering Retention Project records are composed of a summary of the third-year activities of the project; an annotated bibliography on general student retention; a report on undergraduate persistence to the baccalaureate; a report on the effects of social support on college adjustment; a study on why students leave universities without a degree; and a perspective on the causes of college retention.
The Engineering Retention Project represents a study of the challenge of retaining qualified matriculants in an academic program, specifically, NSF initiatives in engineering education improvement, including the societal need for increases in the enrollment and retention of under-represented segments of the engineering student population.
