peers seems to be a helpful strategy in navigating the academic andsocial challenges of this engineering program. They appear to be like-minded in work ethic andrelatable through military experiences. The challenge then is to connect these student veteranswith one another, so they can further their relationships of support.DiscussionInterpretation of the ThemesThe focus of this study was to better understand the unique strengths utilized and challengesencountered as veterans with service-connected disabilities transition from military service intoan undergraduate engineering program. The demographics and military experiences of thestudent veterans that participated in this study vary widely, but there are many similarities whenit comes to the

: Broadening Participation Conceptual FrameworkEstablishing a clear conceptualization as it relates to participating in engineering across pathways(Figure 1) was important because the differences discussed above speak to different kinds ofgoals and, by extension, call for different kinds of data needed to monitor progress. It is withthese differences in mind that we both searched for and analyzed the available data. Research DesignTo establish a cursory understanding of the data landscape as it relates to broadeningparticipation, we leveraged a rapid review approach. A rapid review is a methodology that entailssystematic review methods for collecting and appraising information (e.g., databases or reports),yet is
