Participants Participants in the study were students who identified as engineering majors in theirjunior or senior year of study at the urban research institution. The majority of participantsidentified as male (81%) and nearly three-quarters of participants identified as White (74%);these proportions are reflective of the engineering student population at the institution. Transferstudents comprised a little over half of the sample (55%), with a plurality of students reportingthat neither parent had obtained a college degree (38%). Based on lack of racial/ethnic diversityin the sample, researchers did not examine differences in
