these efforts, first-generation students are stillless likely than their peers to persist or graduate from college [4] and there is the need forcolleges to understand the skills that first-generation students bring to college, and the skills thatthey perceive to be important to help them succeed in their coursework.The low number of women studying engineering at colleges continues to also be a problem,despite the efforts to increase the representation of women. According to the 2022 AmericanSociety of Engineering Education (ASEE) report, women made up only 25.5% of the totalundergraduate engineering enrollment compared to men at 74.5% [5]. The retention rates forwomen undergraduate engineering students are also highly concerning, as 22.7% of
