On the contrary,Benson et al.’s account of one white, male, first-generation student’s perspective on classroombelonging described how he felt faculty only resonated with how some students solved problemsand not all students, particularly those with access to skills and knowledge the student felt helacked [12].Socioeconomic background is often referenced alongside studies on first-generation collegestudents due to the general correlation between low socioeconomic background and first

This fact debunks the negative message communicated aboutHBCUs only graduating the highest number of Blacks in STEM due to the high percentage ofBlacks enrolled. According to the NRC, the report highlights the effectiveness of HBCUs inincreasing participation and success of minority students. Although HBCUs face challenges suchas flat or declining enrollment because of an inability to compete with other more resourcedinstitutions with scholarship funds for prospective students or online learning opportunities

that engineering students have to have an innate initial propensity inmathematics versus an ability that is learned. For these reasons, many students who did not fare well in the traditional high schoollevel math sequence, attempting to try a similar path in college may be settingthemselves up for a repeat conclusion. According to Snyder and Dillow (2011), morethan 1.7 million students enter the community college system. Based primarily uponperformance on a placement test, approximately 60% of these students are placed intoone, if not more, developmental mathematics course(s). Fully 80% of them do notcomplete any college-level mathematics courses within as many as three years (Bailey,Jeong, & Cho, 2010).At our North Dakota Tribally
