BackgroundEngineering Technology (ET) programs in community colleges represent a distinct facet ofengineering education, catering to different student populations and workforce developmentneeds compared to conventional four-year degree paths. ET programs prioritize practical,application-oriented learning, equipping students with hands-on problem-solving skills directlyrelevant to the industry. For instance, students in ET programs may engage in projects simulatingreal-world engineering challenges, fostering their ability to tackle practical issues. In contrast,traditional four-year engineering programs delve deeper into the theoretical foundations

This work explores the systemic inequality created by thispreviously unconsidered mechanism and will hopefully result in a much-needed conversationabout the disparate impacts of tuition structures.IntroductionEquality of access to college gets a lot of attention. The media, policy makers, and academicliterature often focus on the convoluted and secretive admissions process at elite schools andoverall college affordability [1] [2] [3]. Advocates also are drawing attention to the fact thatseemingly neutral policies such as requiring remedial courses and limiting credit transfers fromassociate degree programs can contribute to

Background - Student VeteransStudent veterans are older, post-traditional students who pursue higher education [1-2]. Ohlandreports that economics plays a major role for non-traditional students, and especially for studentveterans. It is the primary factor to return to school, where to attend, and what degree program tostudy [3]. Institution preference is often affected by proximity to current location and to family,cost and reputation. Student veterans are motivated by career opportunities, self-improvementand personal

This research has also added to the scholarship on the factorscontributing to feelings of alienation experienced by historically marginalized and minoritizedstudents within engineering [4, 6-8]. In engineering, as in other disciplines, learning to becomepart of the group (i.e., becoming an engineer) is intertwined with identity formation because bothare shaped and constructed through interpersonal interactions and the discourses that emergefrom those interactions (i.e., ways of knowing, doing, and being, as well as the attitudes

Socializers often inform students’ motivation toobtain STEM degrees, yet there is minimal literature that examines the role of socializers amongSTEM undergraduates, particularly at minority serving institutions (MSI). This critical researchgap inequitably disadvantages historically marginalized and non-traditional students. In thiswork-in-progress, we answer the following two research questions: (1) Who are the socializersthat influence student’s motivation to pursue and persist in their STEM education? and (2) Inwhat ways do these socializers influence students' motivation?
