as a professor oradvisor, doing activities and projects were influential in helping engineering students in majorselection [14]. Furthermore, professional development programs, such as internships, have beenshown as an effective approach to promote students’ awareness and intentions towards futurecareers [15]. Several of the elements of the internship – mentoring, research, and community-based projects – have shown to be predictors of continuing in STEM after graduation [16].MethodologyResearchers at the UNIVERSITY pilot site began with collection protocols from the originalpilot [10, 17, 18]; they modified them as needed in collaboration with UNIVERSITIES. Using adigital platform (Qualtrics), researchers at UNIVERSITY also coordinated and

toward more inclusive behavior? It’s also interesting to note theuntraditional nature of these two students, their identities, and their experiences. S34, though hadmultiple identities which are underrepresented in engineering, enacted behaviors towardinclusivity and overcoming bias. On the other hand, S17 who matches a traditionallyoverrepresented group in engineering experienced inclusive behaviors from others whichimproved his experience during and after the HEP. Clearly, the expected results as demonstratedby quantitative studies around engineering and DEI are not exhibited among these two students.Their experiences show that individuals are unique and complex and cannot be simplified tostatistical data which further emphasizes the need for
