The significance of appreciating the various education funding streams and their limitationsis straightforward. First, it will allow higher education institutions and stakeholder communitiesto reflect on which support systems and policies meet the needs and characteristics of theseindividuals. Second, such reflection and assessment may guide the next steps in policy andpractice that address thematic barriers to college attendance and attainment for this population.Future work may include an examination of active duty and student veteran graduate students.There has been a growing body of work with a focus on undergraduate student

For example, while Black individuals comprise around 12.5% of theUS population, they make up only about 6.0% of first year undergraduate engineering student bodyin the US and only around 4.5% of the Bachelor degree awardees in engineering [6]. Theserepresentation numbers from 2021 (the most recently available data) reflect persistent“underrepresentation” that has remained almost unchanged over the past 20 years. Thus,engineering maintains its status as a predominantly white discipline despite national calls tobroaden participation and diversity efforts at many levels. While “underrepresentation” oftenserves as the quantitative basis for many broadening participation efforts, these numbers are

engineering education contended thatalthough adversity usually refers to major events that cause paralyzing outcomes, it was alsovaluable to recognize more subtle pressure and risk factors as well as their impact on resilience(Hunsu et al., 2021). This view is echoed in our study, which found that when first entering theworkplace, early career engineers were more likely to encounter not major destructive setbacksbut mini-crises or subtle pressure, which nonetheless call for the need of career resilience just aswell. Furthermore, this study found that in the Chinese context, the mini-crises experienced byearly career engineers often reflected not a lack of technical knowledge, but rather, a lack ofrelevant non-cognitive abilities or non-technical

Students Sense of belonging statistically increased across the first semester for cohorts 2015 and2016, remained statistically the same for cohorts 2017, 2018, and 2021, and statisticallydecreased for cohorts 2019 and 2020 (fall 2020 is the COVID-cohort). Of particular note is thatthe largest decline in sense of belonging over the course of the first semester was during the 2020COVID cohort year. This suggests that the first-semester social experience for the COVID-cohort may havebeen negatively impacted and was reflected in their reported sense of belonging. While the effectsize is small for all cohorts, the 2020 (COVID-cohort) reported the highest effect size withCohen’s d = 0.30, up to three times larger than in previous cohorts

In Canadian engineering education, Aikenhead et al.have explored the pragmatic implications of onboarding Indigenous topics through their conceptof “cross-cultural crossing” [4]. They argue that students' life-world subcultures aremultidimensional and may be different from the subculture of science, and so the curriculumdesign needs to account for such differences and crossings students need to make while learning.The work by Seniuk Cicek et al. has critically considered the role of Indigenizing the curriculumin the context of engineering education. Through a balanced “two-eyed seeing” approach, theauthors make the case for including and reflecting on both Indigenous and
