Engineering professors do not understand this well, but the data shows, at CU Denver and elsewhere, that more people leave engineering school than finish. A growing body of evidence suggests that people leave engineering not because they are unqualified, but because they feel unincluded or unwelcomed. This is a big deal for engineering colleges, for industry needs, for national competitiveness, and for social mobility (remember those salaries).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ucdengineeringnews.com\/2021\/06\/04\/engineering-professors-tackle-barrier-to-inclusion-their-own-culture\/\">Read the full article on College of Engineering and Design Computing News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineering faculty and staff understand why people want to become engineers: Engineers get to use their creative side and their analytical side.
