These results suggest that multidisciplinary undergraduatescience communication fellowships with a cohort model may increase students’ confidence andself-efficacy in research. Other qualitative successes included students continuing theirextracurricular involvement in career-focused work after the program ended. The next step forthis research study is to conduct interviews with the students from prior cohorts to gainadditional insight into the potential broader impact of the program on student’s confidencewithin academia and in preparation for their future profession. We will continue to collect surveydata on future cohorts to grow our data set and get a more comprehensive

Based on our reflections, we concluded thatoutreach and relevance, SME, and pedagogy must work together to help students actualize thecommunication skills needed for their engineering careers.

Through these weekly sessions, students connect with each other and withtheir faculty cohort mentor, learning to support each other through challenging times,developing a growth mindset towards their academic journey, understanding barriers that leadto equity gaps in STEM such as stereotype threat and imposter syndrome, and building a senseof belonging and self-efficacy. The seminar allows participants to explore co-curricularopportunities (e.g., student clubs), campus resources such as disability services and financial aidoffices, and career preparation, while

To address research questions regardingstudents’ engineering role identity, researchers have been using the survey measure “I see myselfas an engineer” to represent students’ holistic view of their identity as engineers [2], [4], [6], [9],[10]. However, there are debates among researchers concerning the use of a single-item measureto capture complex and abstract psychological or affective concepts such as engineering roleidentity (e.g., [11], [12], [13]).

Essentially, how students perceive the culture withinSTEM and their belonging within that culture is not contingent but does correlate with facultysupport through interactions during their academic careers [8]. As a result of this correlation,students describe feelings such as hostility and lack of caring when characterizing the instructor-student relationship [9]. Report from previous studies shows that there is still negative form ofinteraction between faculty and students like discrimination from instructors [10]. This reckoninghas allowed scholars to conclude that there is a beneficial connection between facultyrelationships and student’s self-efficacy and their persistence in STEM
