According to the Council of Graduate Schools, attritionfrom engineering doctoral programs ranges from 35% for men to 44% for women, with higherrates reported for students in minority groups [1], [2]. Despite such staggering statistics,researchers have just begun to focus on education at the graduate level in response to a call fromthe National Academies for educational change, particularly in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics [3]. Ameliorating attrition at the graduate level is vital because each Ph.D.student who leaves their program represents an investment of both time and money by thestudents themselves and universities, departments, and

conceptual modeling in precollege engineering contexts.2.0 Background2.1 Conceptual modeling within engineering design educationOne of the most pervasive features of science, engineering, and technology is the use of visualrepresentation in the form of conceptual models, diagrams, tables, equations, and drawings [12].Further, engineering can be thought of as a discipline that teaches students to transform one setof representations into another: text to diagram to symbol [13]. Visual representations areimportant not only to communication, but also to teaching and learning.Such visual representations include conceptual models, which both communicate and facilitatecommunication between audiences of different expertise (e.g., peers, instructors

DegreesIntroduction and BackgroundHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have played an outsized role in theproduction of African American and Black students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM). Factors that contribute to observed student success in STEM at HBCUsinclude impactful student-faculty relationships and overall sense of belonging on supportivecampuses [1, 2] as well as various STEM initiatives designed to increase undergraduateachievement and retention at these institutions [3]. These practices and the contributions ofHBCUs to fields, such as engineering, have been critical in advancing diversity in educationdespite continued underrepresentation in many fields [4].
