This included activities such as the literature reviews andresearch, research design and implementation, solution brainstorming, being resourceful, dealingwith unexpected challenges, data analysis and publication of results.We arranged field trips to give the students a better understanding of how theory, methods, andresearch connected to real-world applications. The travel time during the field trips also allowedfor extended one-on-one contact with faculty during which students had the opportunity todiscuss graduate education and careers in an informal setting.Students had an opportunity to work one-on-one with a member of the university writing centerto refine their research papers in the last two

[17], the collective performance of a socialsystem involves the dynamic interplay of perceived collective efficacy as an emergent propertyof the social group. In a sense, people share the belief in their collective power to produce adesired outcome. Participation in social practices, or social integration, is a fundamental form oflearning where a social display of cognitive competency through group participation serves as amechanism for internalizing and practicing knowledge and skills [19].Academic and social integration facilitated by mentoring relationships has been associated withdecreased attrition rates for undergraduate STEM majors [20], [21].

Transitioning to a leadership mentality as a peermentor has the potential to foster self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and socially stable academic relationships that may be replicated in post-graduate study and/or the workplace.

. “Among college experiences, three experiences are significantly related tochange in engineering identity. Students with greater concern for a career where they can workfor social change, students who receive more mentoring and support from faculty, and studentswho experience more negative cross-racial interactions also indicate developing a stronger senseof engineering identity” [19, p. 22]. The notion that a stronger identity as an engineer is formed ifa woman is singled out in class or clubs repeatedly seems counterintuitive. However the studypoints to the fact that as a woman or URM students are singled out the uniqueness of theiridentity is reaffirmed, among those students who persisted.

A study using identity as an lens established a framework foranalyzing the factors that affect science identity: students build competency with valuedpractices in the field when they have authentic opportunities for the performance of thesepractices, and when they feel recognized for their contributions – that is, “recognition for whatmatters, by people that matter” [27]. This study also found that recognition was particularlyimportant, and was a missing component for the women of color in their study.

Initially EE was taught mainly in businessschools; more recently it has been offered as an elective course across many other disciplines,including engineering. A main impetus for an emphasis on EE in higher education is that it canbe a significant contributor to economic development and job growth of a country [3].
