areprivileged in different admissions models [2]. Overall, there is a need to better understand andsupport students coming into engineering from different admissions pathways.Previous research has found that self-efficacy, identity, belonging, and interest are importantattitudes that impact student recruitment and retention in engineering [5]. Self-efficacy describesthe extent to which a person feels confident and/or capable of particular tasks. Self-efficacy hasbeen shown to be influenced by past experiences of accomplishment and failure, and inparticular mastery experiences [6].

In addition to socioeconomic factors, FGSalso choose engineering for the ability to make a societal impact (Thompson, 2021).STEM FGS Academic DeterminantsFGS are enrolled in STEM programs at a lower rate than CGS (Chen & Carroll, 2005) and havelower persistence and graduate rates (Chen & Soldner, 2013). Studies show STEM FGS are lessacademically prepared for college as (determined by college prep courses and standardized testscores), and have lower math and science self-efficacy than CGS (Green & Sanderson, 2017).Despite these precollege academic readiness deficiencies, FGS still enter college with high levelsof interest in engineering programs (Robinson et al., 2018).Performing
