The high-impact practices designed forEMPOWER to influence each of Schlossberg’s transition factors include: ● A month-long summer preparatory program to prepare students in both technical and professional skills for internship applications. EMPOWER Scholars at the two community college partners are encouraged to enroll. The summer program implemented was highlighted by Truong et al. in [20]. ● A multi-year research and mentoring program that introduces students to research experience with faculty in Engineering departments at UCSD.

It is easier on Zoom, as was discussed, but methods that allowstudents to engage with the classroom content anonymously in person and online should be studiedin relation to creating a stronger engineering identity, as there may be a stronger benefit and astandard to ensure students feel safe being connected.Additional research should be done on finding a standard for making an accessible human-centeredengineering education approach.

However, for a typical non-research U.S. senior design capstoneproject, the industry funding amount is usually low [20,22], like $5,000.00 or less per semesterproject. This may be one of the reasons why faculty is not too motivated to coach undergraduatesenior design project.For industry, it is common to charge client with $20,000 per single management consultant for aweek (not included airline ticket, rental car, hotel, and food) a decade ago.

To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

Thecampus faces challenges as a significant number of students come from K-12 systems thathaven't adequately prepared them for college-level math and science. Additionally, manystudents work over 20 hours per week, often off-campus, and spend an average of 2 hours dailycommuting on public transportation.These circumstances contribute to lower retention and graduation rates, particularly affectingstudents from racial and ethnic minorities who are already underrepresented in the STEMworkforce.
