Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity. He considers his own introverted nature and his self-consciousness about his Englishas possible factors that impacted his sociability in the department early in his schooling. Ernestoviews the department as one that can, at

itself more just and diverse.Additionally, the integration of social and technical aspects of engineering creates a shift towardsmaking engineering more interdisciplinary through the consideration of societal, cultural,historical, political, economic, and environmental implications of design. Engineering alonecannot solve large sociotechnical problems but can contribute towards solutions [8], [31].Similarly, the integration of social and technical aspects of engineering may lead to a shifttowards a more justice-oriented mindset of what it means to be an engineer. Namely, engineeringis not just about solving problems of efficiency for profit but is about solving problems forpeople in ways that bring about equity and improve quality of life.[1] S

used here the term ‘system map’ refers to a simplified graphical representation of how acomplex human-social-technical system behaves. ‘System’ derives from the Greek root systemameaning an organized whole compounded of parts. The positivist scientific revolution with itslogical chains of inference that engineering derives from sought to reduce problems into simpleparts, and as a result focused less on the whole. Initial work on systems arose in biology sincelife could not be well described by positivist methods. From its origins in organismal biologysystem science arose as a synthetic and interdisciplinary field in the 1960’s stimulated byadvances in computational methods. Since then the ideas of system science have beengeneralized to

While 40% of the GEAR-SR cohort participated ininterviews, additional interviews may be conducted to ensure a broader representation ofparticipant backgrounds and experiences. Investigating the specific elements of the GEARprogram that most significantly contribute to student outcomes will inform programenhancements and exploring the differential impacts of the GEAR program on students fromdiverse backgrounds, including those traditionally marginalized in engineering, could providevaluable insights.References[1] Alvarado, C., Villazon, S., & Tamer, B.
