students [7][46]. Additionally, underrepresented students in STEMreference the importance of sharing identities with their peers, faculty, and mentors [16][28][34].These findings suggest a need to move towards more equity-minded hiring practices and increasethe diversity of faculty within engineering programs. Analyzing policies that guide how studentsare supported, as well as policies that create barriers for LIS, such as STEM comprehensive fees,may lead to an increase in persistence in STEM majors for LIS. Previous research showsstudents’ basic needs, such as food and housing, must be met before they are able to tend to otherparts of their lives, including becoming more engaged [7]. By removing barriers to students’basic needs, low-income

In that regard, we recognize that post-traditional engineering students’ coresense of self may be intricately connected to the number of these different criteria with whichthey align.We approach this study with an awareness that multiple dimensions of identity may bepersonally salient and/or significant to learners’ educational experiences. We note that identitiesof race and gender are often top of mind for students, faculty, staff, and senior administrators;post-traditional (or nontraditional) identity is rarely even named or conceived as such.
