Abstract

While some engineers in master’s programs continue with the field they originally studied, there are many others who change to a new discipline. It would be beneficial for universities and students alike to understand why people are staying in their field or migrating, but there is limited research to this effect. This paper will explore why people make these changes, who is changing, and what impact these changes might have.
