college [5]. However, EESI takes things one step further by incorporatingexperiential learning opportunities coupled with financial support, which changes students’personal income and builds an engineering identity. These factors not only create support inareas that alleviate external barriers, which assist black students' retention in college, but theprogram opens up opportunities to better prepare students once they graduate college to be readyfor the STEM workforce and/or graduate school.Some studies show that experiential learning can positively impact participants, but few focus onblack students and even less on a Historically Black College and University (HBCU).Consequently, this research highlights the impact of a structured community

' learningexperiences and professional identity development, specifically their progression towardsbecoming engineers through experiential learning. WIL internships provide students withopportunities to learn through enculturation into the CoP and its norms, and to understand itwithin the context of their sociocultural histories, including their previous experiences andidentities in other CoPs (Eames & Coll, 2006). This aspect is particularly pertinent to thisstudy as it also aims to explore the interaction between students' prior academic trainingbased on a French engineering education model and their learning experiences and identityformation within the Chinese workplace setting. It not only assists students in comprehendingthe CoP but also facilitates

provide an important bridge between education and employment inengineering and providing marketable skills is a major function of the experience [1]. There isgrowing consensus around capstone projects as a potential site for teaching students professionalskills, such as problem solving and teamwork [2]. Yet there remains a gap in skills betweenemployer expectations and the graduates they hire [3], suggesting that not all capstone coursesare providing sufficient support for developing these skills. For example, [4] found limitedgrowth in professional skills in small, short-term project experiences.One potential amplifier of developing professional skills is self-efficacy. The central premisebehind self-efficacy theory is that having knowledge and
