students, are facilitated by experiences that encourage deeper engagement, thesmall size of the program, and relationships with faculty and staff themselves. In the same waythat prior experiences impact feelings of competency, student narratives reveal that meaningfulrelationships played an important role in the series of decisions that led to their enrollment in theengineering program. For example, Thomas notes that helping his dad work on cars increased hisinterest in making, the amputation of someone close to him got him interested in biomedicalengineering and having a relative graduate from this university got him interested in this schoolin particular. Long before the students enter this program, relationships are playing a pivotal rolein

' perspectivesAbstractThere is a mismatch or gap between the job-related skills that industrial companies want fromElectrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) graduates and what academic institutions providewhen students graduate from ECE programs. Consequently, and based on the literature, thenumber of contemporary graduates that lack the industry-required skills has increased. Becauseof the skills gap, newly hired engineers may require additional training to attain criticalcompetencies, which cost employers time and money.This paper examines the skills required by ECE graduates in the United States and presentssurvey results from ECE professional engineers. The survey used in this study was obtained fromThe College and Career Readiness and Success Center at the U.S

Isabel noted that addressingmarginalizing behaviors done by peers is out of her control, but she felt that she controls herability to study and remain focused on her end-goal of graduating with an engineering degree.Isabel believed that the deficit perspectives of Black and Brown students were part of everydaylife, something that they would need to get used to while at college, and especially throughouttheir career. Our theme of “Marginalization is just part of Life” also aligned with findingsreported by Wolfe et al. [10]. For example, in Wolfe et al.’s work, exclusion based on race

Furthermore, individualized faculty-student interactions has a positive impact on astudent’s decision to pursue graduate school [9]. Figure 1: Pathway to becoming a researcherUnfortunately, not every student has access to a network of researchers or has been exposed to apotential research pathway through their coursework. Thus, we developed a seminar course toprovide students with an opportunity to learn about research, what it means to be a researcher, andhighlight research activity in the department.

However, as we continued to run thegroups, we began to see that they were not just providing an alternative pathway, they were alsohelping to support student entry into undergraduate research experiences.There were a few reasons for this. First, the lightweight nature of the reading groups made it aneasy entry point for busy students. Once they joined, they were able to learn about research beingactively worked on by faculty members and begin to understand the nature of research. Second,the relational nature of the groups also meant that they often built connections with otherstudents who were in research labs which (we believe) helped them to understand what it wouldlook like and which encouraged them to

In many cases, students worked directly with a graduate student in the lab and assistedthem with their projects, therefore, it is likely that grad students were often physically present inthe lab when uncertainty arose or were available to call or email.
