at the university (Appendix A) with the largestrepresentations from general engineering (28%), aerospace engineering (7%), and chemicalengineering (11%). From the 46 participants, we analyzed three reflective journals each for a total of 138student data sets. Student data consisted of course reflective journals due in weeks 10, 13, and 16of the fall 2017 semester. The journals were submitted through the course learning managementsystem and downloaded for analysis after the course commenced in December 2017.Data Analysis We used a grounded theory thematic process to interpret the narrative data (Charmaz,2009). This type of analysis is contingent on the types of coding skills and categories thatsurface from the narratives of

the regulations as a model forincreasing inclusion of people with disabilities. For instance, creating a goal of establishing acompany workforce of 7% could be adopted by engineering organizations not yet operating atthat level. While the average proportion of engineers with disabilities in 2015 was 9% of allengineers, several engineering occupations are operating below or just at the 7% thresholdincluding aerospace engineer (7%), chemical engineer (4%), civil engineer (7%), and industrialengineer (6.1%) meaning that there is great work still needed within these occupational workinggroups from engineering organizations across the US. The statistics available also do not giveinformation about the amount of variation in the employment of people

SampleOur final sample for this paper included 15 FGSVEs who were enrolled in an undergraduateprogram in engineering. These students indicated that both parents had an educational attainmentlevel of “some college” or less; that is, neither parent had earned a college degree of any kind.The one woman and 14 men in our final sample included the following engineering majors:mechanical (ME; n=4), aerospace (AE; n=3), electrical (EE; n=3); chemical (CH; n=1),construction (CN; N=1) general (GE; n=1), material science (MS; n=1) and textile (TX; n=1)engineering. Participants served in the Air Force (n=4), Navy (n=4), Army (n=3) and MarineCorps (n=3); one participant had served in both the Coast Guard and Air Force. Three had alsoserved or were serving in

The study took place at an urban, research-intensive, and predominately white institution.Snowball sampling was used due to the relatively small number of Latinas in engineering. Thefive participants were 18 or over, identified as Latina, and were senior undergraduateengineering majors who came from varied fields including aerospace, architectural, biomedical,chemical, and mechanical engineering. Four of the participants were of Mexican origin, and oneidentified as Salvadoran. The participants varied in their self-identified socio-economic status(three high; one middle; one low). One identified as a first-generation college student; three ofthe five had at least one parent who possessed a bachelor’s or master’s degree. This qualitative
