University Dr. Bruk T. Berhane received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Mary- land in 2003. He holds an M.S. in engineering management from the George Washington University and a Ph.D. in minority and urban education from the University of Maryland. In 2003, Bruk was hired by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), where he worked on nanotech- nology and microsystems. In 2005 he left JHUAPL for a fellowship with the National Academies and researched methods of increasing the number of women in engineering. Later that year, he briefly served as a mathematics instructor in Baltimore City High Schools. From 2005 through 2018, Dr. Berhane directed

All the data wereanonymized by the research team during the data collection stage and prior to the data analysisstage. The data collection methods are described in Table 1, and a timeline of the data collectionprocess is shown in Figure 1. Next, we elaborate more on each method.Table 1.
