However, EESI takes things one step further by incorporatingexperiential learning opportunities coupled with financial support, which changes students’personal income and builds an engineering identity. These factors not only create support inareas that alleviate external barriers, which assist black students' retention in college, but theprogram opens up opportunities to better prepare students once they graduate college to be readyfor the STEM workforce and/or graduate school.Some studies show that experiential learning can positively impact participants, but few focus onblack students and even less on a Historically Black College and University (HBCU).Consequently, this research highlights the impact of a structured community

Informalcommunity-building and relationships with faculty and staff help students develop a sense ofbelonging in college (Myers et al., 2015). Additionally, students should be encouraged tointegrate their outside lives with academics. Community involvement in research projects canhelp engage students in problem-solving (Loeser et al., 2021).
