previous research shows thatconfidence or self efficacy greatly impacts perseverance in the major [6]. If underrepresentedstudents in particular say that assessment and reporting practices negatively impact theirconfidence and are not always accurate representations of their learning, then these studentsmight be discouraged from persisting in the engineering major, thus further perpetuating thediversity problem that already exists in the profession.This paper explores how students describe the effect of assessment practices on their perceivedsense of efficacy. Specifically, it examines whether students report differences in their sense ofself-efficacy in response to different kinds of assessment (eg. tests vs. hands-on projects) andreporting of

clinical immersion course impacts students from historicallymarginalized groups in race, ethnicity, first-generation status, gender, and age. Comparisonswere made between historically marginalized groups such as African Americans, Hispanics,women, and first-generation college students and their dominant counterparts. Pre- and post-course Likert scale questions were used to analyze the student’s sense of self-efficacy, abilities tomake connections and create value, and general interests in engineering. Preliminary dataanalysis indicated that there are discrepancies in the results of different demographic groups.Further analysis will be conducted to reveal the intricacies of the relationship betweenhistorically marginalized groups and their

undergraduate students are made up of engineering and computerscience majors from the university. These students are referred to the PI of the lab based on theirlevel of professionalism in the classroom, self-efficacy, time management, and overall well-rounded student. The undergraduate students are interviewed and then finally hired as studentemployees of the lab. In addition, the research assistants receive aid from the GEMS director.The curriculum of Coding Academy has traditionally centered around the basics of programmingin Python, with emphasis on the development of solid fundamental programming skills [6], [7].In the latest iteration of Coding Academy, the curriculum emphasized multiple-day projects andteamwork to capitalize on the student's

This research line predominantly emphasized students—both theiroutcomes and experiences, with only 2 articles addressing faculty members’ experiences inteaching.Comparatively less emphasized than student-centered studies, out of the 21 qualifying articles, 5addressed culturally relevant curricular content and/or pedagogies and one article coveredculturally relevant co-curricular programs and/or practices. Mirroring Garcia et al.’s [8] study, asmaller number of studies focused on leadership and decision-making (n = 6) and externalfactors (n = 2). Table 2 provides a breakdown of the frequencies for

education; diverse students approach problem-solving in innovativeways when collaboration is not only supported but expected as an integral part of the learningprocess [13]. Additionally, educators and mentors should assess students' skills, prior knowledge,and experiences and use that information to tailor their teaching strategies to individual needs.The strengths students display such as resilience and persistence are often expected personalattributes, however, as [14] would contend, they are attributes that educators need to help buildup and support.Educators that learn about their student’s strengths have an opportunity to encourage deeperlearning, heightened levels of self-efficacy, and persistence in engineering programs that lead tothe

on graduatestudents who hold marginalized identities -- highlight the ongoing need to research the mentalhealth of STEM graduate students and how mental health influences various aspects of their livesand academic trajectories, aligning with the conclusion in the review conducted by Bork andMondisa focused on graduate student mental health in engineering (2021).Our findings reveal a significant shift in the focus on mental health publications during and afterthe COVID-19 pandemic. The observed shift in focus towards mental health publications duringand after the COVID-19 pandemic is indicative of an increased acknowledgment of the mentalhealth challenges that arose and the necessity for supportive measures and interventions toeffectively

]. Inengineering, where cultural norms, values, and practices converge to shape a unique discourse,the process of identity formation becomes particularly significant. Marginalized students,including those coming from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+communities, and low-income households, often navigate complex dynamics of identity withinengineering spaces [6, 7, 16, 17]. The formation of one's engineering identity can profoundlyimpact marginalized students, influencing their sense of belonging, self-efficacy, and academicpersistence. Moreover, the negotiation of multiple identities, including race, gender, sexuality,and socioeconomic status, within the predominantly white, middle and upper class, male, andWesternized focus of
