In 2008, the course goals for the course were modestly updated, and a course-specifictextbook, edited by faculty and staff, was adopted [11].

IntroductionDespite years of investments and resources devoted by the federal government and institutions ofhigher education towards broadening participation of underrepresented minorities (URMs) inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers, significant progress has not beenachieved. For instance, since 2000, underrepresented minorities’ shares in engineering andphysical science degrees have been flat despite a rapid increase in their representation of theoverall US population. In fact, even though URMs currently constitute 30 percent of the USpopulation, they account for only about 12.5 percent of baccalaureate degrees awarded inengineering1

Specifically, policy recommendations emphasize that increased enrollment and retentionof student veterans in STEM degree programs is critical to our nation’s capability to reachrequired levels of future STEM workers [1]. Moreover, since many SVSM are women and/orunderrepresented minorities, recruitment and retention of SVSM along STEM career pathways isvital for diversifying, as well as strengthening, the nation’s STEM workforce [2-4].

This prescriptive curriculum can make it more difficultto enter throughout their career or to repeat courses without delaying graduation [8].While quantitative studies have been completed to point to factors that decrease success inengineering curriculum, little work has been done to understand the factors that underlie theissues. The question of degree attainment is compounded by the intersection of multipleidentities a student carries- gender, ethnicity and first generation degree seeking status.

Additionally, students at two-year institutionswho subsequently transferred to a four-year institution had, on average, a higher socioeconomicstatus than those who did not transfer to a four-year institution [13].
