Ernst, Jeremy V.Bowen, Bradley D.2022-01-232022-01-232014-05-01http://hdl.handle.net/10919/107869This study explored how freshman engineering students utilized career awareness developmental opportunities prior to entry into post-secondary academics. Specifically, the study delved into separations and distinctions among students at-risk of non-continuation due to matriculation concerns and students non at-risk. Founded on the amended arrangement of Nasta’s (2007) Career Exploration Survey-Revised instrument, singular factors were studied through hypotheses targeting of career awareness behaviors among at-risk and non at-risk subgroups. The results show there are possible contradictions to commonly accepted beliefs about career awareness between at-risk and non at-risk students. Several deductions, considerations, and implications are highlighted based upon the findings of the study.Pages 91-98application/pdfenIn CopyrightArticle - Refereed2022-01-2352Bowen, Bradley [0000-0003-3987-308X]
