Interventions, Retention, Success MetricsAbstractImproving the level of success of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines has been a prevailing concern forhigher education institutions for many years. To address this challenge, a pilot initiative has beenimplemented with engineering students at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez, a recognizedHispanic Serving Institution. Over the past four years, the Program for Engineering Access,Retention, and LIATS Success (PEARLS) has brought in an innovative intervention model thatcombines elements from socio-cognitive career theories and departure studies to impact students'success. PEARLS has established a comprehensive range of

Technology, only 25% of engineering degrees, includingBachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D., were awarded to women in US institutions [1]. Theunderrepresentation of women in engineering may be due to a lack of diversity when recruitingstudents, as well as the fact that women have higher attrition rates than their men peers, so-called“the leaky pipeline” [2, 3, 4].Many studies have attempted to understand this high attrition rate of women students inengineering careers. Some suggest that women students have fewer opportunities to develop theirengineering interests or chances to be recognized as engineers compared with their mencounterparts [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Others note that women students face additional professionaldevaluation and chilly climates in
