In the new millennium, the prosperity of society requires a substantial technologically-skilled segment in the workforce: this requirement, in turn, presents an unparalleled opportunity for social attainment for many individuals. Students enrol in engineering-related technology programs at educational institutions to exploit the opportunity for social attainment and for personal enrichment. Early voluntary leaving represents a significant societal, individual and institutional loss. It is with this understanding in mind that this study investigated the relationship between selected factors and leaver status (attrition) of postsecondary engineering-related technology students. More specifically, the purpose of this study was to establish profiles of leavers and non-leavers in engineering-related technology programs, and to examine the relationship between selected factors and leaver status.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In the new millennium, the prosperity of society requires a substantial technologically-skilled segment in the workforce: this requirement, in turn, presents an unparalleled opportunity for social attainment for many individuals. Students enrol in engineering-related technology programs at educational institutions to exploit the opportunity for social attainment and for personal enrichment. Early voluntary leaving represents a significant societal, individual and institutional loss. It is with this understanding in mind that this study investigated the relationship between selected factors and leaver status (attrition) of postsecondary engineering-related technology students. More specifically, the purpose of this study was to establish profiles of leavers and non-leavers in engineering-related technology programs, and to examine the relationship between selected factors and leaver status.
520 $a The participants of the study were 1337 Pennsylvania College of Technology students attending engineering-related technology programs in spring 1996. A cohort of 233 students voluntarily left their programs of study, and did not re-enrol in fall 1995. Three research questions guided this study. (1) What were the profiles of leavers and non-leavers relative to their characteristics? (2) What was the influence of selected factors on educational outcome among engineering-related technology students at Pennsylvania College of Technology in spring 1996? (3) What were the major reasons for voluntary leaving among engineering-related technology students in spring 1996?
520 $a Using a sequential model of educational transition patterns among students, high school attainment, college attainment and educational outcome were examined. The results suggest that although educational outcome (leaver) was primarily associated with college experience, both socio-demographic background and high school attainment also manifested an important, albeit indirect, effect on educational outcome via college experience. Important factors were grade point average, credit load, length of time at college, and work. Interestingly, membership of selected "at risk" populations, such as first generation students, had no significant impact on educational outcome.
