Of the research on part-time doctoral students, these students have been shown to be lessengaged in their studies, less satisfied with their Ph.D. experiences and viewed as less motivatedthan their full-time student peers (Gardner & Gopaul, 2012). Studies have found factors that limitthe participation of these part-time students include socialization barriers, structural constraints,negative encounters, feelings of otherness, feelings of being treated less favorably thantraditional students, longer completion time, and beliefs of not having the same opportunities astheir peers (Graham & Massyn, 2019, p.192).

To adapt this pilot SI model to fit the needs of studentsin engineering coursework, we designed this study to gain understanding of the studentpopulation, their motivations for attending SI, and whether or not SI attendance was linked toincreased academic performance.Another objective was to provide feedback to the instructors of this course (and other freshmencourses) regarding the level of student
