A strong calculus foundation is essential to undergraduate engineering success. However, some students may be self‐selecting to begin their mathematics sequence in a lower‐level calculus course than their prior achievement and aptitude would suggest is appropriate (i.e., undermatch).

Given the importance of engineers to a nation's economy and potential innovation, it is imperative to encourage more students to consider engineering as a college major. Previous studies have identified a broad range of high school experiences and demographic factors associated with engineering major choice; however, these factors have rarely been ranked or ordered by relative importance.

Over the past two decades, state policies and industrial associations have challenged engineering educators to expand the training of future engineers beyond technical competencies to the broader domain of professional skills development, with one key aspect being engineering leadership.

ABSTRACT There is a significant concern in Australia that insufficient numbers of students are enrolling in, and graduating from, engineering degree programmes. Research studies and government reports continue to reveal that young people’s negative views of engineering are a major factor contributing to this phenomenon. To unearth how these views are formed and evolve, we investigated a sample of primary (n = 555), secondary (n = 493) and university (n = 1517) students in Australia. The students completed a survey that examined their interests in, attitudes towards, and knowledge and understandings of engineering. Key findings were that primary students were more positively predisposed towards engineering and its related sub-disciplines than secondary students; and that in terms of influences on career choice, an innate interest in science or engineering is a stronger influence than the potential earning power of an engineering position. It was also evident that careers advisors were seen to have a strong influence on secondary students’ choices. We argue that there is strong potential to harness and work with interest in engineering at an early age, and that there is considerable work needed to leverage advice and sustain interest at secondary level.

Engineering education research frequently examines students' persistence (or intentions to persist) into engineering careers from engineering school. However, the variety of engineering‐related occupations has increased substantially in recent years, challenging researchers' abilities to discern what constitutes persistence in engineering.

Holistic competencies comprise various holistic skills (e.g., communication) and positive values and attitudes (e.g., empathy). There have been increasing efforts worldwide to foster students' holistic competency development within engineering curricula. While recent studies indicate a positive shift, it remains unclear whether such efforts are driven by only a handful of individuals or more widely supported by systemic changes to constructively align competency development with the engineering curriculum.

As engineering becomes increasingly incorporated into precollege classrooms, it is important to explore students' ability to engage in engineering practices. One of these practices, engaging in argument from evidence, has been well studied in science education. However, it has not yet been fully explored in engineering education.
