Thenational FGS population is more diverse than CGS, with a greater percentage having one or moreintersecting, underrepresented identities. With national, state, and institutional leaders trying toclose the “achievement gap” and meet diversity and equity outcomes, understanding and servingFGS is critical to meeting those goals.Helping FGS persist to graduation is also important to science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) bachelor’s degree programs.

In recent years, the study of transitions has attracted renewed interest frompolicy makers and researchers in the light of changing labor market patterns, the diverse transitionpathways of young people, the transformation of professional knowledge, and an increasingdisjuncture between students’ academic training and the specific skillsets sought by employers [1, 2,3]. Yet very little is known about this transition in the field of engineering [4]. Most studiesconcentrate on the job readiness of engineering graduates [5, 6].

This is true for graduate students who navigate the dissidence between their academicidentities, the ablest expectations they face, and being positioned as disabled [14]. It may beespecially true for Black and indigenous graduate students who may face resistance from facultyto provide accommodations and a need to engage in higher levels of forced intimacy6 than theirwhite peers [48]. It is also true for students in STEM fields where requests for access areconsidered a nuisance and perceived as a sign of weakness [5].

This theme served asa catalyst for several other impactful outcomes, including the development of confidence,interdisciplinarity, and engineering identity during the OEMP. Where the student-authors use theterminology “freedom,” others have used words such as “agency” and “authority” to describe thesame ideas in existing literature [22], [23].

Similarly, [4] found that students who participate in structured mentorshipprograms are more likely to remain in STEM majors and pursue advanced degrees. Thesementorship relationships provide students with guidance, role models, emotional support, andaccess to professional networks, thereby reducing the feelings of isolation that often discourageunderrepresented students from persisting in STEM fields [6]. Equally important are hands-onresearch experiences, which allow students to apply classroom knowledge to real-worldproblems, thus reinforcing their understanding and increasing their motivation.

This is especially so if they believe that the design critiquereflects any lack of confidence (real or perceived) by more senior engineers or managers.All of this points to a key linkage between confidence and mastery of the capabilities(competence) that are central to the engineering profession. If one’s confidence is based on truemastery, then the engineer will view questions and critiques regarding his/her design as valuablecontributions towards excellence in the outcome. It becomes a contribution toward the successof the innovation, rather than a personal challenge to one’s capability. It is this balance

While many studies focus on currentengineering students and their innovation goals and skills, it is also informative to see howthese goals and skills are translated into realized innovative behavior in the workplace.
