A knowledge of the differences between persisters and nonpersisters may aid in the design of engineering curricula as well as strategies for academic advising. In the preliminary stage of analysis, as reported in this paper, the differences between persisters and non-persisters in engineering are apparent in the freshmen and sophomore years. In general, non-persisters are more likely to be motivated to study engineering by external (family) influences, are less confident in their math and science skills, and less likely to be engaged in their studies than persisters.
