The interdisciplinary approach of industrial engineering integrates conceptsfrom psychology, biology, and mathematics with engineering principles, which could bridge theinterest gap among female students. As Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics are lesser-knownareas within engineering, we aim to inspire students to explore the often overlooked discipline byhighlighting the breadth and potential of Industrial Engineering in optimizing various systemswith human-centered approaches, with the goal of contributing to a more well-rounded STEMexposure.

A study found thattypical non-traditional students expect to utilize college for career preparation and were lesslikely to be focused on the social scene (Forbus, Newbold, & Mehta, 2011). Another study citeda personal desire to complete what they started, being a role model for their children, and thefinancial incentives to improve their economic situation (Bohl, Haak, & Shrestha, 2017).Providing a meaningful undergraduate experience to non-traditional students will go a long waytowards enhancing
