To address attrition early in the chemical engineering curriculum, we provided students the opportunity to attend a two-day workshop focused on the major. Workshop attendees received information about upcoming courses and career paths and interacted with upper-level students and faculty in the major. Surveys were administered to assess student’s self-efficacy and integration, and statistically significant increases were found in the chemical engineering self-efficacy, coping self-efficacy, and social and academic integration ratings of workshop attendees.
