As such, the purpose of this project is to enhance “servingness” [30] for historicallyminoritized/marginalized students, inclusive of their intersectionalities, in engineering educationat Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) by developing a sustainable model for an academic,institutional, and social support system (i.e., formal peer-mentoring program) for first-yearengineering students.

]. Divergent thinking opens a potential for more creative outcomes [11]because considering more diverse options increases the chance that the final selected option is amore creative one. Divergent thinking is a key characteristic in creativity [12]. It has beenshown important in solving complex problems creatively and generating more innovativeoutcomes [1], [2]. Divergent thinking is often considered during idea generation throughgenerating many potential solutions to a problem [13], [14]. In response to engineers’ struggleswith design fixation during idea generation [7], [15], [16], many ideation tools have been createdto support generation of diverse ideas, such as Brainstorming [17], Design Heuristics [18], andTRIZ [19]. However, divergent thinking

Students responded to 8 items, again using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree; lower DoingEngineering scores indicate stronger and more frequent prior experiences with engineering. Inaddition to these measures, students completed a demographics survey in which they providedtheir age, gender, race/ethnicity, first generation status, and future plans for college. At the end ofthe academic year, all registered EPICS participants were sent the post-survey via an anonymousQualtrics link. The post-survey mirrored the pre-survey, but with the inclusion of open-endedquestions and the removal of the registration section. TABLE 1

In thispaper, the experiences of returners in master’s programs with military work experience arestudied.BackgroundAs there is no existing literature specifically on military returners, the background for this paperis drawn from two distinct areas: the nascent literature on engineering returners in general, andliterature on veterans as students, particularly within engineering.ReturnersWhile the first work on returners was primarily anecdotal [1], there is a growing body of morerecent work that systematically examined this population of graduate students. One such study,conducted by Strutz et al. in 2011 [2], focused on engineering returners within engineeringeducation; this

Further, the effort to encourage CS for all students hasresulted in an increased diversity in the population of high school students who study CS; it hasalso led these students to have more pre-high school CS experience than was previously the case.This trend is likely to continue: in recent years, eight states have adopted CS graduationrequirements, and it is a pending policy priority in many others [1].
