thegraduate research training experience.By fostering growth as researchers and professionals, graduate education in engineering preparesstudents for careers in either academia or industry. In addition to providing technical trainingand knowledge, graduate education should help students build confidence in their capabilities,develop specialized research skills, and feel connected to both the academic and professionalcommunities [1]. While these broad goals generally align with established student outcomes,such as those specified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) orthe Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), they also reflect the unique challengesof advanced research training.Works that empirically assess the

and engagement in the STEM fields.IntroductionFor the last few decades, STEM programs have been underrepresented by minority students,primarily female students in higher education. Fields such as computer science and engineeringare where the absence of minority and female students is more noticeable; however, subjectssuch as biology, chemistry, and life sciences are more attractive to female students whenselecting a college degree and potential career paths [1]. To address this disparity and increasethe diversity of students in computer science and cybersecurity, especially underrepresentedminorities (URM) and women, it is necessary to create awareness and foster interest from anearly age [2].

Thereis an urgent necessity to enhance university enrollments and degree completion to help fill the gapsand meet the demands of high-skilled professionals. This shortage of skilled technical workforce with university degrees can be attributed to thelack of interest in higher education and careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics)-related fields at both K-12 and college levels.
