Theupdated responses to the 2022 survey will be presented along with data from the LinkedIntracking data.IntroductionParticipation from all communities across our nation is a national imperative for the US toremain competitive and US higher education programs must produce more graduates in theSTEM disciplines. A comprehensive evaluation of Alliance programs nationally in 2006 by theUrban Institute provided a blueprint and recommendations building on best practices by NYCLSAMP members (1991-2004) [1].

ND may includemedical conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD, previously known as Asperger’ssyndrome), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, mental health conditionsincluding bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and others. Using the term neurodiverse avoids adeficit perspective and disabling discourse, recognizing an intersection between medicaldifferences and social constructs (Rappolt-Schlictmann et al., 2018; Jaarsma and Welin, 2012;Dwyer, 2022).ND may pose difficulties in some situations while imparting benefits in others (Fung et al.,2022).

We took the occasion of a largepresentation of over 100 capstones projects by the Class of 2022 at the University of Pittsburgh,with the participation of more than 500 senior students, to assess the diversity of teams across thevarious departments of the School of Engineering. An additional population of almost 100 seniorstudents from a department that does not participate in the event but offers a comparablecapstone project was also included in the study. The evaluation of the projects was conducted byinstructors and expert judges from industry and academia. Trends were examined betweenperformance grades versus a diversity index, using metrics

Broadening the participation of Latine in engineering fields isespecially important given their projected growth in the general U.S. population and labor forcein conjunction with their underrepresentation in the field, as noted above.

. According to the National Academiesreport on STEMM mentoring, minoritized students have to operate as a dual self (code switch) in order tonavigate in STEMM fields (NASEM, 2009). This is due to the prevalence of a normed white culture inSTEM (McGee, 2020, Harper, 2010). How do minoritized students specifically cope with racial stress?McDerrmot et al. (2022) reporting on a study of Black and Latinx college students stated that thesestudents used five ways to cope. These included: dialogue to clear up a stereotype or misconception;being proud of who you are and what you have to offer; working hard to prove the naysayers wrong;responding rudely to racist comments; and ignoring and distancing from racist people.
