| Abstract | This paper describes a new quantitative data collection instrument for collecting profile information (e.g. academic preparation, reasons for choosing engineering, participation in academic support and extracurricular activities) and measuring the factors that influenced students’ decision to switch out of an engineering degree program. We also report the results of a pilot data collection effort of 120 students from five institutions in the U.S. who left engineering during the 2003 – 2004 academic year. |
