To this point, a systematic review on grit and academic achievement report “effort” havingthe largest effect size on academic achievement in grades K-12 [11]. In sum, gritty individualshave high grit scores which predict the individual’s retention to graduate with their degree. Graduating with a degree will be defined as a successful student outcome. This definitionwas adopted from a systematic review of student success for LatinX engineering students [13].Another construct associated with degree obtainment and retention is engineering identity.Engineering identity:Godwin [14] states that engineering identity consists of three constructs, 1

These challenges are often exacerbated when racializedaspects of identity are introduced/considered/threatened. Black graduate students in engineeringdeal with additional scrutiny, such as microaggressions, racism, and other racialized experiencesthroughout their journey. This results in a wide variety of psychological and behavioralresponses unique to this group, such as feelings of powerlessness, invisibility, loss of integrity,pressure to represent one’s group [1], anger, escapism, withdrawal frustration and avoidance [2].In their study of graduate
