strong pre-college background inmath and science, so many students from low-income backgrounds enter collegeunderprepared to begin engineering curriculums. When coupled with a lack of familiarity with theculture of higher education and rising tuition costs, the result is a much higher attrition rate forthese students. Ohland et al. (2012) found that economically disadvantaged studentsmatriculate and graduate from engineering programs at lower rates than students fromhigher-income backgrounds.In this paper, we will discuss a model for improving the inclusion and retention ofhighly-motivated but underprepared students in engineering.

,support, and retain those who are from the underrepresented groups. However, even withincreased recruitment, those from underrepresented groups still make up incredibly smallpercentages of the engineering workforce (U.S. Department of Education, 2016).There are many reasons why, once recruited into engineering, diverse talent does not persist(Seron, Silbey, Cech, & Rubineau, 2016; Singh et al. 2014). For example, several researchershave documented dysfunctional team behaviors that are particularly problematic for femaleengineers, such as: (a) men relegating women to helping roles (Seron, Silbey, Cech, & Rubineau,2016), (b) men creating team environments in which women do not speaking up when they are inthe minority (Dasgupta, Scircle &

Transferstudents comprised a little over half of the sample (55%), with a plurality of students reportingthat neither parent had obtained a college degree (38%).
