experience. While the program had manyobjectives, a principal goal was to provide teachers confidence and then a means to incorporateengineering principles in their teaching of math, science, and technology topics in theirclassrooms. The formation of stratified teams was a critical component of the program. In total,there were X labs each with a different research focus, biomechanics, educational computing,sustainable energy, and organic electronic devices.By creating teams of individuals with different educational and professional backgrounds, weintended to foster cognitive diversity within the groups. Cognitive diversity as a construct islinked with increased outcomes [6]. One such outcome was the development of an engineeringinformed lesson plan

predictive of study performance [20]. Schaufeli et al. [17]also demonstrated significant relationships of college student burnout and engagement withacademic success in a cross-national study. Given the above research and its implications for engineering education, our primary goalwas to understand how SCS undergraduate students’ experiences of school and personal demandsand resources differed from those of traditional undergraduate students as well as graduate studentsin engineering. Additionally, we aimed to examine group differences in important studentoutcomes, such as student engagement, fit with engineering program, school burnout, commitmentto engineering major, and current/expected GPA. The inclusion of the comparison groups allowedus
