Indeed, theselearners, as we describe in the literature review, face personal or interpersonal situations (e.g., a need towork to support family members) that are largely misaligned with the framing of post-secondary educationfor traditional students.Considering the specific context of engineering and computing programs, we derive our definition ofnontraditional students in engineering from Minichiello (2018), who defines this population as students(see Figure 1) who would be classified in at least one of the following categories: “(a) Delaying collegeenrollment by one year or more; (b) attending college part-time, meaning they enroll in fewer than 12 creditsper semester
