We investigated the beliefs and behaviors of both first-generation and low-income engineering majors as they were taking an introductory course required for their major. Of the 322 students at a mid-sized university who were surveyed, 18.3% indicated that they did not have a parent or guardian with a bachelor's degree, and 9.2% indicated that they had a family income of $50,000 or less, marking them as low income. Despite previous studies by others suggesting that these students would have different beliefs and behaviors than other engineering students, we found few differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
