This methods Work in Progress (WIP) research paper presents the adaptation of the Life Stressor Checklist-Revised (LSC-R) to Black and Latiné (BL) undergraduate engineering students. The LSC-R questionnaire contains items that measure traumatic and other stressful life events, stressors that can arise from traditional engineering education. Specifically, for BL students, traditional engineering education has the propensity to result in stress, distress, and trauma. Furthermore, the marginalized identities of BL students further exacerbate their traumatic historically raced or racialized experiences. Adapting the LSC-R to the engineering context requires an examination of  its validity. We modified the LSC-R and examined the face and content validity using data collected from a sample of five BL undergraduate engineering students of different majors who took part in cognitive interviews carried out at a large R1 state university in the Midwestern United States. The results indicate good psychometric properties of the adapted version of the LSC-R, supporting its potential use in studying racialized stress among BL undergraduate engineering students.
