The survey questionswere generated based on recurrent conversations the faculty advisor had with his undergraduatestudents during research meetings, office hours, or arbitrary settings. Moreover, the survey1 Cohort 2 information is in parenthesesincluded an open-ended question that provided students an opportunity to reflect and share abouttheir experiences in engaging in a research group setting. Descriptive statistics were employed foranalysis and presentation of data results. The authors note the following limitations of the study:(a) small sample size; (b) self-developed survey instrument; (c) convenient sampling procedure.The administered survey consisted of nine questions for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2: Question 1: Faculty
. With this rising awareness, UTEP determined twenty-five years ago to implement a first-year core class experience as part of The Model Institutions for Excellence (MIE) program. TheUTEP implemented MIE to increase underrepresented minorities in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Funded by the National Science Foundation, this 11-yearprogram challenged UTEP to: (a) Improve the first-year experience of its entering freshmen; (b)Develop good study habits, (c) Enhance instruction across the STEM curricula; (d) Promotecareer options; and (e) Encourage advancing to graduate school studies. According to MIEDirector Dr. Benjamin Flores," the MIE program's success was based on changing the Universityculture by promoting early

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

Belongingness, race, and ethnicityThe relationship between race and feelings of belonging within engineering classrooms is moreinconclusive than the research on belongingness and gender. Some quantitative, survey-basedstudies report findings that display no difference in sense of belonging among different racialgroups [8,12]. Even though Benson et al. [12] do not quantitatively identify a general lack ofbelonging in engineering among black students, with this study focusing on civil engineering, oneinterview with a black female student described how she experienced feeling as though shecouldn’t
focused our analysis onunderstanding four mechanisms that influence equitable outcomes— a) allocating financialpriorities toward equity, b) setting inclusive incentive and reward structures, c) implementingequity-oriented policies and programs, and d) supporting diverse human resourcesAllocating financial priorities toward equity. MSIs in general and HSIs in particular operate onless funding, on average, than other higher education institutions (NASEM, 2019; Núñez et al.,2015). In a department context, funding priorities can be a mechanism for promoting equitablestudent outcomes. Research indicates that a lack of financial resources slows organizationalchange in higher education (Osei-Kofi et al, 2010). Hispanic students more likely than others
