mindfulness, resilience, and grit. This coursework includes: ● A first-year STARS seminar facilitated by STARS advising staff, which offers a space for students to reflect on their learning and educational experiences; brainstorm strategies for self-improvement; and develop “master schedules” to improve students’ time management and study skills. The seminar also provides an overview of non-STARS university resources for students such as counseling services and writing and tutoring centers. Students participating in the seminar also receive professional development opportunities through collaboration with the College of Engineering community and career centers. Engineering faculty and professionals discuss the

builds on our earlier study [1],which developed a conceptual model of belongingness among international engineering doctoralstudents based on their interactions with faculty, peers, and staff. A literature review informedthis conceptualization and revealed a lack of consistency in the conceptual structure ofbelongingness in both higher education and engineering education. This work will include thefollowing: 1) a brief review on the varied characteristics of sense of belonging (e.g., definitionsand constructs/defining components) in different context (e.g., K-12 education, undergraduateeducation, graduate education, and community) among different populations (e.g., adolescents,undergraduate students, underrepresented students, and adults), 2) a

-12 makerspace, Fassoand Knight [9] found that the constant negotiation and collaboration required to complete aproject within the makerspace provide a sociocultural space to support identity development. Inhigher education settings, Carbonnel, Andrews, Boklage, and Borrego found that a semester-longproject which required the use of an engineering makerspace increased students’ technology anddesign self-efficacy, affect towards design, innovation orientation, as well as their sense ofbelonging in a makerspace [5]. In addition, in research that has emerged from this largerresearch study, Greene, Kellam, and Coley found that while makerspaces overall promotedagency and engineering identity for Black male undergraduates, makerspaces at PWIs
