Its percentage of representationin the U.S. population is projected to increase to 29% by 2050 (Passel & Cohn, 2008). Inengineering, Latinxs continue to be underrepresented and while interventions and programmaticefforts have helped to increase the number of Latinx engineers in the United States, the increaseof this population in the United States is not proportionate with the current representation ofLatinxs in the field. Many research papers have been published on the efforts to addressrecruitment and retention of Latinx students in engineering, yet there still remains a lack ofunderstanding

Given the persistent gap in underrepresented groups pursuing aviation careers, and after areview of the prior research, a pilot project was conducted during the summer of 2018 and included aquantitative questionnaire that was administered to select aviation students. Given that existingresearch indicates a need for a more holistic approach to diversity and inclusion policies andprogramming, the primary research question was “Do diversity and inclusion policies impactcollegiate students’ considerations for leaving an (aviation) academic program?”Methods Much of the existing research that is conducted
