faculty representation. Context Historically, Latinx engineering graduates represent 6% of all engineers in the workforcewith little year-over-year growth in the last decade. To further break down that statistic, Latinosmake up 4%, while Latinas make up 2% of the engineering workforce [5]. To address the glaringunderrepresentation of Latinx in the engineering workforce, the Research-Oriented LearningExperiences (ROLE) program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), wasdeveloped to increase diverse participation in research within engineering undergraduateprograms. The researchers understand the need for HSIs to create culturally relevant programsthat support whole-student development

highlight this. Rarely, however, are there spaces andplaces for women in engineering to discuss these tensions. We wanted to create space so thosecoming after us can do the real work to move toward sisterhood.Race affects cross-racial mentoring relationships at all levels of higher education includingsenior faculty to junior faculty, faculty to postdocs, and faculty to graduate students [1]–[3]. Forexample, common factors that shape cross-racial mentoring of Faculty of Color include “anawareness of the mentee’s cultural experience” by the mentor, “open-mindedness”, and “trust,comfort, and common ground” [3]. Davis and Linder [4] further call to action the necessity toacknowledge and candidly discuss whiteness in cross-racial relationships between

, which impact the members’ ability to create authentic collaboration that will impact the social change needed to broaden participation in engineering. However, all members report cautious optimism regarding the work ahead for the Alliance.1 IntroductionIn the field of engineering education in the U.S., Black/African Americans, Hispanic Americans,American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders represent adisproportionately small number of those graduating with engineering degrees. In 2020, only20% of students seeking bachelor’s degrees, 10% of master’s degrees, and 6% of doctorates self-identified as Black/African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives,Native Hawaiians, or

as not alwaysattentive to queries. Such a disparity in experience and support may dissuade female studentsfrom pursuing an engineering profession after graduation, given the crucial opportunityinternships provide for students to learn and practice key skills for their future employment [57]. The findings of this study also suggest that the role of female supervisors in the civilengineering workplace is critical for Asian women to share their concerns about difficulties andaspire to be like them. This study found that female supervisors were particularly helpful fordeveloping career interests. Previous research suggests that in order to be inspired by a rolemodel, one must be able to identify one's future self with that role model [33
