Black students in the U.S. attended a HBCUs in 200725. TheseHBCUs represent 104 colleges and universities that are federally-recognized MSIs establishedprior to 1964 with a primary mission to educate African Americans. Although HSIs werefederally-recognized more recently in 1992, HSIs enroll nearly 65% of all Hispanic collegestudents and nearly one-third of all U.S. underrepresented students11.Theoretical Framework The current study utilizes Social Cognitive Career Theory21 as a framework tohighlight the significance of social support and barriers for underrepresented engineeringstudents. SCCT builds on Albert Bandura‘s Social Cognitive Theory1 which emphasizes therelationship between social interaction and self-efficacy. SCCT not only
