Abstract
Large gaps in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) labor market exist due to high STEM undergraduate attrition rates. I examined career search self-efficacy as a predictor of STEM major persistence in a sample of undergraduate engineering students (N = 100). Results suggested that higher career search self-efficacy scores were associated with increased odds of persisting in an engineering major. Implications for using career development theory in STEM career planning courses and future STEM undergraduate persistence research are discussed.
