towards thehighest level of quality within research projects. This paper presents the approach of how auniversity team (professor and graduate students) collaborated with the National Society of BlackEngineers (NSBE) to conduct a longitudinal analysis of a summer engineering program fundedthrough an Early CAREER faculty award from the National Science Foundation’s EngineeringEducation Broadening Participation (BPE) program. According to the literature, there is a greatneed for longitudinal analysis of STEM outreach programs, especially informal ones, and supportstudents from historically excluded backgrounds. This paper contributes to the academia-non-profit partnership literature within the context of longitudinal studies by mapping out the

fortrailblazing undergraduates. The CIRCUIT program involves multilevel mentoring by providing aneeded community for trailblazing graduate students as they support each other in their work withCIRCUIT and as they progress in their individual graduate journeys 42 .TA mentorship guides the students through the technical aspects of their projects, and also servesas representation that students may never ordinarily see in their undergraduate studies. It is knownthat students with a strong sense of scientific identity are more likely to persist within STEM 4 .This TA representation, in part, allows CIRCUIT fellows to build their scientific identity by seeingthemselves as scientists and engineers. TAs serve as existence proofs; showing CIRCUIT fellowsthat
