And Caltech only has a ~6% dropout rate (i.e, 94% of incoming students graduate within 6 years). The retention rate for every school is different, but nationwide 50% is a rule of thumb for the average retention.



Your assertion was about public engineering schools, not private. Also, I have yet to find any data to back up that 50% rate.
