In order to increase their interest incomputer science and to improve retention of CS majors, a pipeline of well-proven activities wasintegrated into the program to inspire exploration of the CS discipline and computing careers atan early stage and help students gain work experience before graduation. These activitiesinclude, but are not limited to: a summer research program that provides opportunities forstudents to conduct research in different computer science areas, a peer-mentoring program thatpromotes career preparation, and professional conference attendance program that sends studentsto professional conferences to explore computer science careers and

Students must also navigate differentmatriculation paths and major application processes used by universities. After being acceptedinto a major, students may still doubt if they want to study engineering or if their major alignswith their interests and future career plans. While research has been conducted on this processstudents face and what factors can affect the decision of their major, research is lacking onstudents who are not accepted into their major, disrupting students’ planned paths intoengineering and jeopardizing their future as an engineer.

Belonging can be developed in many ways, but a core piece of belonging is knowing whatyou belong to. When students understand what they are studying, they can connect their input(academic effort) to an output (degree attainment, career) that reflects their values and self-identity now and, in the future, [8]. A large contributing factor to programs not being able to helpstudents make connections is a lack of major-specific courses available where students can findand spend structured time with peers/faculty in
