In STEM, an estimated 37% ofLatinx and 40% of Black students switch majors as undergraduates, compared with 29% of whitestudents. Latinx and Black STEM students also drop out of college altogether far more often thanwhite STEM students; while only 13% of white students majoring in STEM disciplines drop out,20% and 26% of Latinx and Black students do so respectively [6].At the time in their career trajectory when women and URMs are enrolled in engineeringprograms in college, faculty and other instructors have a

Case studies have been shown to be an effective way to do that, and an effective case study allows students to go beyond the simple facts of the case by looking at laws past and present, historical context, and current practice and lead them to make informed decisions [16].

This innovative pedagogical approach places studentsat the center of their learning experience, fostering problem-solving skills within the context ofsmall group dynamics under the guidance of a tutor [19]. In the PBL framework, the learning process is intricately student-driven, with the tutorassuming a facilitating role. This methodology is rooted in an educational
