]. Further, the lack of access andinclusion begins much earlier than the college level. Traditionally, access to pre-collegeengineering education programming in classrooms could be described as limited and sporadic,with most such programs in extra-curricular or summer programming [16]–[19]. Such programsare important but depend on students being able to access them and may not be sustained overmore than a few weeks’ time. Thus, issues of access and exclusion in engineering can begin inK-12 education: students without access to such programming have had less opportunity todevelop an engineering identity, defined here as relating to, “…[students] earliest conceptions ofengineering and potential career aspirations and how these conceptions and

This may be due to the lack of role models and networking opportunities in STEMcareers and even belief from parents and teachers that students with disabilities cannot besuccessful in STEM (Hawley, Cardoso & McMahon, 2013; Martin, Stumbo, & Collins, 2011).As such, students with disabilities are less likely to enroll and be successful in STEM courses inhigh school (Hawley et al., 2013; Martin et al., 2011). Lack of exposure to STEM careers andcourses may ultimately lead to a lack of interest. Additionally, this may contribute to limitedskill development, not due to lack of aptitude, rather due to lack of exposure and opportunities.As previously

The hope is that once they were selected into the program and provided financial support via scholarship, their GPA will improve because they will have more time learning and improving their technical competency. Many anecdotal stories shared by our ET students indicated that they are really committed to a STEM career partially because of their desire to improve their life situation.

The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students
