College of Engineering (CoE) graduation rates for 2015 at our Hispanic ServingInstitution revealed to be 73% for students from households with income above $50,000/year, and54% from households with income below $7,500/year. Similar trends were also noticed in retentionand persistence rates indicating higher attrition among students from lower income families. Thisprogram aims to increase these statistics among LIATS by integrating elements from Lent’s et al.Social Cognitive Career Theory [1] [2] and Tinto’s Departure Model [3][4] in conjunction with ascholarship program. The final objective is to establish an intervention model to be furtherinstitutionalized in the CoE, if proven to be effective [5][6]. In this program we have includedtools to

PID is the process by which students come to think, act, and feel like professionals(Cruess et al., 2015). It is the successful integration of personal attributes and professionaltraining in the context of a professional community. It is an ongoing process of interpretation andre-interpretation of experiences which allow the strengthening and maturing of an individualthrough a series of processes of professional education and experiences (Beijaard, 2004; Kerby,1991; Kogan, 2000).
