The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of institutional members of the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates of differences in retention initiatives and support by graduation rate. Specifically, this study examined the perceived effectiveness of retention initiatives, the impact of attrition issues and the effectiveness of retention resources to support the retention of multicultural engineering students. Completed in the winter 2007, this study was distributed electronically to institutional NAMEPA members and resulted in a 28% response rate. The survey instrument was developed by the researcher and consisted of five-point Likert scale items that examined the effectiveness of retention initiatives and attrition issues. Open response questions examined retention rates, unit goals, successful retention practices, practices not occurring at respondent institutions and factors impacting graduation rates. Information was also collected on time spent on retention initiatives, financial resources to support multicultural engineering student retention and personnel resources to support multicultural engineering student retention. Data was analyzed using Independent Samples T Test to test for statistical significance of retention initiatives and attrition issues by graduation rate group. Chi Square analysis was used to test for relational significance of time spent on retention initiatives, financial resources and personnel support by graduation rate group. This examination of institutional perspectives on retention initiatives did not find significant differences of these variables by the graduation rate groups established for this study. Data collected on successful practices, practices not occurring at the institutions, unit goals for retaining multicultural engineering students and graduation rate factors did support the retention initiatives and attrition issues evaluated in this study. Further studies can be done to collect student perspectives on these issues and to further examine each of the retention initiatives and attrition issues evaluated in this study.
