Women studentswho applied to graduate school were more likely to be motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g., loveof learning, interest in their field) than male students, who were more motivated by furtheringtheir careers. The authors noted that personal outreach and encouragement to apply to graduateschool were more important influences on women’s decision making than men.Once they transition into graduate education, women contend with experiences of sexism, genderstereotyping, delegitimization, and isolation [9]. To mitigate these challenges, women often haveto depend on their own resilience and capacity to cope with these

]. Metacognitive and self-regulation strategies can help students be moreeffective learners. The affective element of learning refers to student attitudes and mindsets thatcan influence their thinking and behaviors, ultimately impacting their learning and academicperformance.Learning and persistence in higher education, and engineering education specifically, areinfluenced by many internal and external factors [5], [6], [7]. For example, Geisinger and Raman[7] identify six factors driving students to leave engineering: classroom and academic climate,grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high school preparation,interest and career goals, and race and gender. The first three items are fundamental to theclassroom experience
