Abstract/Description
Undergraduate engineering programs often face low persistence and retention.
- Females and ethnic minorities are underrepresented and show lower persistence
- Certain minorities may be less likely to enroll in online programs
- Lower persistence and retention in online students across disciplines
Undergraduate research may increase persistence and retention.
- Online students likely underrepresented due to access limitations
