students and 7% of graduatestudents reported a disability. For both graduate and undergraduate students, the proportion withdisabilities who enroll in science and engineering is roughly similar (20-25%) to those without disability[6]. 1 Need for scholarship on students with disabilities in engineering: There is little discussion in theliterature about the experiences of students with disabilities as they enter engineering programs and thekinds of programs and resources available to support them through their educational experiences.Individuals with disabilities are one population whose experience with problem solving and traits

do notmaintain a sense of belonging to – or identification with – engineering groups, or fail to perceivethemselves as engineers, are more likely to leave the profession. This identification can beparticularly difficult for individuals with disabilities. Students with disabilities face a unique setof challenges in navigating the “physical, social, and intellectual structures” [7, p. 96] of theuniversity that are typically designed for those without disabilities [12]. In their review of theliterature, Pearson Weatherton and colleagues [4] further examine systemic and personalbarriers, identifying that they can discourage students’ self-efficacy, persistence, and sense ofbelonging in undergraduate engineering programs and hinder engineering
