We present acontent analysis and descriptive statistics from two surveys distributed to students from Fall2024 about their experiences with the module. These surveys asked students about theirexperiences with the module, their engineering identity and belongingness, and their beliefsabout their future careers. A major takeaway from this analysis was the saliency studentsexperienced around the topics of ambiguity, failure, and risk in the context of thinking abouttheir future careers. Finally, we offer recommendations for other ECE educators interested

GenAI promises to disrupt education and learningprimarily by intervening in and altering the literacy practices that students use to acquire expertknowledge.The formation of expertise is an established concern in engineering education. Litzinger, Lattuca,Hadgraft, and Newstetter argued for increased attention on the development of expertise inengineering education through learning experiences that foster deep conceptual knowledge andskill development related to engineering practice [18].

Further, the differences identified betweenparticipants’ beliefs, intentions, and actions underscore the importance of providing structuredteacher training.

This impact becomes more evident in urban universitieswith many commuting students. In such circumstances, the students have less opportunities forcommunity building and development of STEM identity. As a result, the significance ofmentorship programs becomes more obvious. The main objective of this research study is tounderstand the relationship between participation in LMP and student success through thedevelopment of STEM identity and peer-mentoring.In the previous work by the research team, a theoretical framework was proposed to examine therelationships between mentorship
