文献中充斥着对来自不具代表性人群的工科本科生的持久率产生积极和消极影响的因素的描述。就本研究而言，相关的代表性不足的人群是非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和美洲原住民。其中一些因素普遍影响着所有的学生，另一些因素则特定于一所工程学院的文化。我们建议进行一项调查，以确定对弗吉尼亚大学工程学院的持久率影响最显著的因素。SEA)，其发展形式在本文中介绍，作为创建将在我们的机构文化中有效运作的保留计划的第一步。
The literature abounds with descriptions of factors affecting persistence rates both positively and negatively among undergraduate engineering students from underrepresented populations. For the purposes of this study, the relevant underrepresented populations are African American, Hispanic American, and Native American. Some of these factors universally affect all students, and others are specific to a school of engineering’s culture. We propose a survey to identify the factors most significantly affecting persistence rates at the School of Engineering at the University of Virginia (U.Va. SEAS), the developmental form of which is presented in this paper, as the first step in creating retention programs that will work effectively in our institutional culture.
