Other features include the relationships that exist betweenstudents' social networks, sense of belonging, and professional identity. These latter twovariables are important predictors of degree attainment and commitment for historicallymarginalized students.

AbstractSenior capstone programs at US universities offer an excellent opportunity to teach engineeringconcepts to not only the engineering seniors in the capstone program, but also to the next generationof students currently in K-12. To achieve this, engineering students are given the challenge to createan exhibit in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) that, in a fun way,conveys fundamental concepts to K-12 students.An example of this is a recently concluded senior capstone project in Mechanical Engineering atTexas A&M University called Electrocycle.
