We are not targeting any specific students or experiences because wewant to know about all experiences, not just the exemplary, in order to understand variousaspects of first-generation students’ experiences in engineering technology. Participants will begiven $50 Amazon gift cards for their time.Qualitative data will be collected through semi-structured interviews, in person and virtuallyover Zoom. We anticipate that interviews will last about an hour, and participants will becompensated for their time with gift cards. The first half of the interviews will be used to buildrapport and gain an understanding of their backgrounds and decisions thus far for their

Through these numerous surveys wedocumented student self-assessment of their change in knowledge and skills. After a year in theprogram most students (usually seven out of eight or eight out of eight) reported the programinfluenced their career area and their level of confidence pursuing a career area. Students as acohort dramatically increased their confidence in how to prepare an academic poster, participatein a professional meeting, plan a controlled experiment, engage in an effective mentoringrelationship, find an internship that matched their interests and explore graduate degrees thatinterest them.
