, metal machining, and design for manufacturing ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 WIP: A Correlation Analysis of Engagement of First-Generation College Students in EngineeringIntroductionIn the college environment, students engage in a variety of educational activities. They askquestions in class, have discussions with peers and faculty, study in their preferred way, and doall of these with the goal of a degree in mind. These types of engagement, along with manyothers, are key components of students’ education.Previous research on first-generation college students shows that first-generation students acrossall majors engage less than their peers and perceive the college

three surveys are concerning,it is important to keep in mind that the effects of the GrOW initiative cannot be isolated. Mostparticipants attended only 1-3 events in the series. Other factors, such as societal and institutionalbiases and discrimination, may also be contributing to the participants’ decreasing feelings ofbelonging, anxiety, confidence, and preparedness. Despite these challenges, the program’s effortsto support and empower gender minority students in engineering were widely well-received, asshown through direct testimonials. By providing a space for these students to connect with oneanother and offering resources to navigate the unique challenges they may face, the program hasundoubtedly had a positive impact. It is essential to

engineering Ph.D. students is 60%, compared to 55% for HispanicAmericans, 53% for Asian Americans, and 47% for African Americans (Kerlin, 1995). In 2008,the Council for Graduate Schools reported a quantitative study tracking attrition and persistence,noting that graduate attrition in engineering is between 24%-36% for men and women inengineering, respectively (Sowell, 2008). More recently, in 2015, Sowell, Allum, and Okahanareported data disaggregated for graduate engineering men and women of color, noting alarmingstatistics for most traditionally underrepresented groups, including that ten-year completion ratesfor African American engineering graduate students, are only 48% (Sowell et al., 2015). Withthese statistics in mind, it is not unreasonable

contribute to a sense of STEM identity, andthereby retention, in URMs [39], [52]. In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations

Follow up studies to better understand stressors identified unsupportiveand challenging training environments, time management issues, and high performanceexpectations as key sources of stress [9]. Students’ reported that relationships with family,friends, and classmates and health and wellness activities such as exercise, mindfulness, andmaintaining spiritual health were their primary coping strategies [9]. Although our students useddifferent words, the main themes identified in these studies are consistent with our experiences.Faculty experiences dealing with engineering student mental health have not been studiedextensively, but one paper surveyed 106 faculty and administrators and found that they felt

initially considered medicine as an option, although changedhis mind to engineering after taking a physics course in high school. He also attributes thisswitch to there being a number of engineers on his mom’s side of the family and the “prestige orchallenge of the major”. Additionally, Micheal chose engineering because he thinks it is aninteresting way to make society better; he has hopes of going back to Senegal to start a school or“helping as much as [he] can”.Michael's parents had acknowledged that he excelled in math and science and encouraged him tolook into attending a large engineering intuition in the southeast where they thought he “couldget in [and where] he should go” for school. He applied to two other institutions, but afterrealizing
