Although the setting is a “3+1” engineering technology program inresidence, the challenges faced are similar to those in our present situation such as curricularalignment, candid communication, student interaction and teaching styles [6].In the past, students in our mechanical engineering (ME) capstone program have partnered withstudents from other programs within our college of engineering. Also, multi-disciplinary projectshave included students from outside of our college on campus. During the academic year 2024-25, our ME students have, for the first time, collaborated with students from five engineeringcolleges in India. The corresponding author, who is the director of the

and graduation rates in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) arecritical to the innovation economy and to address complex global problems through research anddevelopment. However, on many university campuses nationwide, success rates in attainingSTEM credentials are typically lower than non-STEM fields, with many students leaving beforecompleting their degree. Additional barriers are faced by low income and commuter students,especially those that live at home [1]. While a strong sense of belonging is known to increaseacademic persistence, this sense of connection can be more difficult to achieve on a commutercampus, where students are physically on campus for limited times and their support networks,including family and
