Graduation Rates for Male {\&} Female Engineering Students in Texas Two-Year Colleges

Simple linear analysis was used to discover trends within the graduation rates of both male and female engineering students from fifteen two-year colleges within the state of Texas. The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) was utilized as the source for graduation data. Colleges reporting fewer than 10 consecutive years of data were excluded. Comparisons of the number of females obtaining engineering degrees versus the number of males obtaining engineering degrees show no indication that the gender gap is closing.
