| Abstract | The paths students follow after completing a bachelor's degree in an engineering field are varied and expectations about the numbers of students who will pursue engineering work or graduate school are supported by various studies. This study explores how decisions to do graduate work in engineering are made. Among the questions examined are: (1) What factors do students consider?; (2) How do students decide where to apply for graduate work and in what field?; and (3) Who is involved in the decision? Preliminary answers to these questions for one particular group--those choosing to pursue a dual degree in engineering--are discussed in this paper. The authors conclude that there is still much more to understand about the undergraduate-to-graduate decision process and transition. This is becoming increasingly important as more students undertake graduate education, and as national leadership calls for a debate on the relationship between undergraduate and graduate education and the practice of engineering.
