Abstract
Students enrolled in the ECE 100 class of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the Arizona State University, were surveyed to determine the retention rates of engineering students and design intervention programs to improve their retention. The survey requested demographic data, reasons why engineering was chosen, recruitment participation and evaluation, and predictions about the student's academic future and success. It was found that students were good at predicting that they would likely be leaving the College and whether they would fail at least one course. Men were found to be more confident of graduating than women, and students who left the college after one semester had difficulty with their math class on the first semester.
