internationally, STEM majors experience more attrition and longer times tograduate than other majors. The high rate of attrition has been documented from a public policystandpoint at various universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and SouthAfrica [1]. The cost of attrition is significant. Students who attrite are personally burdened by thecost of a partial education when the costs of college are rising [2] and by the loss of income froma lucrative STEM career. Socially, attrition of STEM majors reduces the size of the workforce ata time of high demand for skilled college graduates [3]. The cost of attrition is particularlydetrimental to underrepresented minority (URM) groups who attrite in larger numbers [4], and tothe diversity of

The capacities and experiences ofengineers from diverse backgrounds enable these novel solutions.

that “this course isirrelevant to my future! I’m only taking it to fulfill the course requirements.” The USTstudent’s dissatisfaction may also be attributed to the fact that many of them are graduate orPh.D. students, and some are with familial responsibilities, which makes it difficult for themto devote additional time to the course and its assignments. A few students from UST endshad also told us that such a course offered them an opportunity to “have a slight deviationfrom my main capacity or major”. However, some students from UST also expressed theirinterest in this course content, stating that “I chose this class specifically to challenge myselfto a topic more socially oriented” or to seek for “a diverse class environment”.PEDAGOGYAs

and experience to make these decisions. Thoseconsidering pursuing a Ph.D. often do not know what their future will look like if they pursue acareer in academia. Engineering students, who can experience industry careers through internships,have no avenue to explore if a faculty position is right for them. As such, students frequently viewthe Ph.D. profession as just being a teacher and do not consider it due to this impression. Being afaculty member encompasses much more than students see through their university experience,from teaching requirements to scholarship and service.This paper posits the need for a shadowing program mimicking the structure of job shadowingprograms found in industry or commonly experienced in medical domains.

Historically, amajor deterrent for women considering STEM has been lower levels of math self-assessment [8],though recent studies suggest that this is becoming less important for persistence [12], [13]. Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29]. This shift suggests a need to explore how students perceive thefield of ML/AI and highlights the importance of studying other factors contributing to persistence.Professional role confidence, comprised of expertise confidence and career-fit confidence, is thedegree to which a person feels confident in their competence
