Abstract

There have been many efforts designed to broaden the participation of racially minoritized groups in engineering fields, including Black men. One pathway to attaining an undergraduate engineering degree is the dual‐degree program, which has been in existence for several decades. However, much remains unknown about students' experiences in these programs. This study contributes new knowledge by studying four Black male college students who are matriculating through a dual‐degree program and expanding conceptualizations of engineering persistence.
