How poor is retention in Engineering? In the United States, “less than half of the students who enter into STEM undergraduate curricula as freshmen will actually graduate with a STEM degree” (Wilson, et al., 2011). The attrition rate is one of the “highest in the overall population of undergraduate students in the United States” (Wilson, et al., 2011). In Canada the retention rates are similar. “Adult student retention is an issue of growing concern for many institutions” (Fincher, 2010).…

7). Increasing education and skills are imperative to compete in today’s job market. Conversely, the cons of this advertising campaign would be knowing when to discourage some students from seeking certain four year degree program. As addressed by Billitteri, “…a bachelor’s degree is no guarantee of career success or upward mobility. Much may depend on the field of study” (par. 9). There should be also a focus on directing some students to vocational training or career and technical education,…

1) When I think about my professional goals I want to be in a position where I take pride in what I am doing. After earning my degree I would like to work with an agency in criminal law. I have always taken pride in being a Military Police Officer with the Colorado Army National Guard, therefore going to school in pursuit of a degree in Criminal Justice would lead me in great directions.To be successful and always focusing on ways to better myself and my family. My personal goals, being a wife…

It is without saying that earning a college degree has been one of the most challenging and rewarding endeavors of my life. It has literally taken me twelve years to complete what should have only taken four. I have grown as a technological individual since beginning school in the year 2003 when computers were only necessary for writing papers and doing some research when most research was done manually with these things we used to call books. As I approach my graduation day next Sunday, I sit…

would get a chance. Paul and Heidi never really pressured the kids into getting a higher education, but all three of them ended up going to college anyways, but not all went for the same amount of time. Tina recently graduated with her bachelor 's degree and her parents have supported her throughout her education. Out of…

a job I resigned from one month ago. I will explain the reasons which lead me to quit, the consequences of this step, and how I imagine my future job to be. basically, I finished my undergraduate studies in Saudi Arabia, graduating with a bachelor degree in Industrial Engineering, which is an extraordinary field of study in my community, where people usually tend to study what the market is demanding, i.e. business studies. After I graduate, the companies started to call me because they wanted…

First I will need to graduate college with a bachelor 's degree in psychology, which will include coursework in child development. This coursework will give me the needed degree to then further pursue the requirements I would need to meet to apply for a job as a child life specialist at Froedtert Hospital. Once I have obtained my degree I will need to complete a child life specialist internship and spend at least one year in a hospital. To do this…

J.D Vance is a tall, white man. He graduated from Yale Law School, and is principal at a leading Silicon Valley investment firm. Outwardly, it appears as if Vance has led a life of privilege, including an upbringing in upper-class America; however those were not the circumstances Vance was brought up in. In his book, Vance describes the psychological impact that being a child living in poverty had on him, and many others who live in similar situations. Despite the limitations Vance faced, he was…

And not to mention that so many others have already attended college and universities and have either a bachelor’s degree or a degree in a specific field. They too had to work very hard to achieve their dreams and goals. By providing a free college education to students, we would be sending the wrong message to not only current generations but to future ones as well. A message…

I’ve always wanted to be an inventor long before I found Engineering. I wanted to be someone who made the coolest of things and made so many people happy. I dreamed big as a kid, always getting lost in my little world of imagination. Growing up has changed some things for me. I still aspire to be an Inventor of sorts, but I want to do it better through becoming a world class Engineer. A world Class engineer would be able to effectively make goals and stick to them to strengthen their effect; the…
