This type ofapproach focuses on the skills or background knowledge that non-dominant student groups lackas they enter and navigate engineering programs (Valencia, 2012).1 National reports calling forimprovements in K-12 science and engineering education and explaining the need forinvestments in STEM education also contain a deficit perspective, focusing on the need

Despite the recentsurge in interest towards the involvement of women and racial minorities in the STEM fields,students with disabilities remain an underrepresented minority in these fields [2]–[4].Additionally, the barriers that those students with disability face once they do enter one of thesefields can hinder their success and lead to a higher than average rate of students leaving theirdegrees unfinished. In one such study, it was reported that while these students with disabilitiesare enrolling at the same rate as their non-disabled counterparts, their graduation rate is muchlower – 38
