Students, Self-Efficacy, STEM identity, Engineering Design Process, informaleducationIntroductionSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is a critical component ofmodern education and workforce, as it provides students with the skills and knowledge necessaryto succeed in today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, but it is not always accessible toeveryone. The equity gap in STEM education is a significant issue, and individuals from low-income communities often lack the STEM experiences that their more affluent peers receive [1].To address this gap, educators are exploring new ways to engage students in STEM experiencesthat promote positive associations. A positive class experience can impact students in profoundways, for

They will be invested in the success of individual students and overallbroadening participation in STEM education and the workforce.Why Mentoring Matters in STEM. As stated in the National Academies’ recent report onmentoring undergraduate researchers, [a]n enterprise-wide commitment to effective mentorship in [science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM)] could lead to high-quality, and sustainable mentoring relationships at all career stages, and it could increase student

Additionally, research shows thatpresidents and chancellors at HBCUs have significantly shorter tenures, with an average of 3.3years than those of other four-year institutions, with an average tenure of 7 years. These changeshave been deemed a “crisis” and an added challenge to the ongoing recovery efforts of manyHBCUs disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic.Two areas that are critical for higher education institutions related to science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are (1) the role they play in broadening theparticipation of historically excluded individuals and (2) research activity, particularly

Students in these programsattend an HBCU to complete all pre-engineering courses (typically three years) and spend theirfinal undergraduate years (typically two) at a PWI. At the end of the program, students wouldhave earned two bachelor’s degrees, one from the HBCU in a science, technology, engineering,or mathematics (STEM) field and the other from the PWI in an engineering discipline.
