and positive effects occurred only when the reasonfor training was strategic.28 Therefore, the motivation behind SH training is an important factorin determining the success of the program, and we believe that a workshop targeted to thewelfare of the participants will likely result in a high success rate. It is important to note that there are several resources pertaining to SH that are availableto students at the mid-Atlantic University where this workshop was held. All individuals oncampus are provided with literature from the Office of Affirmative Action, Diversity andInclusion that documents the resources available through this office and the University Police.Residence life staff, resident advisors and a group of peer educators

Thesequalitative interviews were part of a larger mixed methods study exploring identity, stereotypethreat, motivation, retention, and persistence in first-year engineering students10,11. Interviewparticipants were selected based on the results of a survey of first-year engineering students in alarge general engineering program at a mid-Atlantic university.

Four of the institutions are locatedin the Northeast, one in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and three in the West.

. The French et al. studyworks on the odds ratio. None of the four studies has showed statistically significant differencein men’s retention, though. Three studies indicate higher retention for women19,18,46. Cohen’sstudy has showed statistically higher retention for women students. The studies that are in favorof men retention have considered the MIDFIELD database and NC university database; whilethe ones that are in favor of women retention have considered a national database (Engineeringworkforce commission- EWC) of 1999-2001 graduating students and a mid-Atlantic collegedatabase. Three of the four studies that indicate higher retention for men compute 4-yearretention, while the NC study35, which indicates poor retention of women, computes

college in the northeast, and two large publiccomprehensive universities (one in the mountain west and one in the mid-Atlantic). After startingwork, participants were interviewed with a semi-structured protocol that focused on theirresponsibilities, work activities, challenges, and accomplishments at 3, 6, and 12 months ofwork. All subsequent data collection was managed by three researchers (co-author [Author 1] aswell as two additional members of the research team, [Member 1] and [Member 2]). Allworkplace interviews used a common base protocol, followed by tailored prompts to follow upon previous data collection; for example, the six-month interviews followed up on commentsfrom the three-month interviews and so forth. This approach allowed the

engineers are mostly likely tohave this attitude in the results section.MethodsThis section describes our process for classifying engineers according to their acculturationattitudes, as determined by their acculturation preferences, and exploring differences in theseattitudes based on their personal and job characteristics.Participants: Data for this study was collected as part of a larger research project administered inFall 2019 [46]. Nearly twelve thousand alumni who earned engineering degrees from a large,public university in the southwestern U.S. within the past 15 years were invited to participate inan online survey via an initial invitation email and two reminder emails sent over the course of atwo-week period. All participants had the
