There havebeen several studies on returning graduate or undergraduate students in other disciplines thatprovide some insight into the experiences of these students. Existing studies within and outsideof engineering also point to some differences in the motivations and needs of returners comparedto direct-pathway students. Returning students are often more goal-oriented14,15, more motivatedand mature, have stronger teamwork skills16, and generally display a high work ethic15.However, returners have reported struggles
