They hail from various engineering disciplinessuch as aerospace, agriculture, biomedical, chemical, and mechanical. Pseudonyms were used toprotect their identity; the pseudonyms are not linked to their higher education institution,race/ethnicity, or engineering sub-discipline. This was done to limit identification, as only a fewBlack and Latinx engineering postdoctoral scholars are employed at these institutions.Data Collection.

field that I was going to or inthe field that I was going to. So, they knew a lot about the field, not even just at Purdue, but just like different type of research that was going on, different type of things happening in the field. So therefore, I was able to look at research areas I didn't even consider beforehand, because they knew much more about it. And they knew things going on in the aerospace aeronautics world that I didn't know about as an undergrad.”The third area where alumni found the program most beneficial in their transition was providingtips and tricks for survival. Mentors in the program were required to submit 2-minute videorecordings sharing insights on things they wish they had known before

The two classes have 325 and 81 students enrolled,respectively. Both classes introduce probability and statistics notions to engineering students fromdiverse areas in Computer Science and Industrial and Systems Engineering, but include studentsfrom all other engineering disciplines (e.g., students from Electrical and Computer Engineering,Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and others). The two courses were selected forour testing of these newly developed digital notes because of their position in the curricula as anintroductory point for probability and
