gender, race, and ethnicity. Thus, efforts to quantitatively assess, andsubsequently increase, diversity in STEM fields are focused primarily on demographiccategories. Myopic focus on demographic diversity may mask homogeneity in other respectsamong the students admitted into STEM fields. For example, there is evidence that individualswho are typically attracted, selected, and retained by engineering programs tend to expresscertain personality characteristics of Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judging (INTJ) asdefined by Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) [1]. As STEM-based education programs, engineering in particular, prioritize an increasedemographic diversity, student recruitment efforts pay less attention to personality and

diversifying the engineering workforce. 1 Given their diversebackgrounds, their increasing numbers, and the growing national demand for engineeringprofessionals, it is important to study the conditions under which student veterans pursueengineering education and the factors that support their success. Increasing the participation ofveterans in engineering offers the possibility of enhancing engineering’s diversity in manyneeded dimensions since, compared to civilian students, veterans are more likely to be older,first-generation college students, disabled, African American, or Latino. The post 911 GI bill hasled to increasing numbers of veterans pursing higher education. This NSF-funded project aims toaddress gaps in the literature on SVEs by

During the Fall 2013- Spring 2014 academic year (Year 1), 33% of students participated in aninternship, co-op, or research experience. For the Fall 2016- Spring 2017 academic year (Year4), 65% of scholars participated in an internship, co-op or undergraduate research experience.The rise in industry and/or research experience provides more students with a stronger career-readiness foundation necessary to be successful upon graduation. It gives scholars valuable workexperience while allowing them to explore their career interests

However, students with a low socioeconomic statustypically attend high schools that are much less likely to offer mathematics courses aboveAlgebra 2 [2]. Thus, students with a low socioeconomic status are less likely to be ready tosucceed in college.

These methods employ an iterative approach and focus on incorporating dataabout stakeholder needs and socio-economic constraints before conceptualizing the technicalconsiderations that normally dominate engineering design thinking (Thomsen 2013). The HCDapproach begins by asking “Who are the stakeholdersof this project?” and “What do these stakeholderswant/need?” (International Development Enterprises2011:7).
