As the first points of contact for students, they assist with contentdelivery, guide students through hands-on labs and projects, and deliver feedback onassignments. Effective undergraduate teaching assistants are peer leaders and mentors to first-year students; through these workshops, we seek to ground their leadership and mentorshipapproaches in principles of global inclusion, diversity, belonging, equity, and access (GIDBEA).In this work, we outline the workshop curriculum.

SCCTemphasizes the role of relevant interests in career development. Within SCCT's Choice Modeland Interest Model, interest directly links self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career-relatedchoices [9]. Because of this, many studies seeking to affect student's interest in engineeringcareers focus on increasing student self-efficacy and outcome expectations. In SCCT, interestsdirectly relate to choice

Previous research indicates that students'engagement correlates directly with academic progress. This is especially relevant in theEngineering+ setting, where students are in the process of choosing their majors and planningtheir futures. Students take three courses on varying topics to explore their interests and practicefundamental engineering skills during their first year. Therefore, enhancing student engagementin these courses not only aids in a deeper understanding of the offered materials but alsofacilitates social interactions that can inform better decision-making

It exploresstudents' learning experiences, attitudes, and challenges in pre-engineering at a publicuniversity in Michigan. College access and success are some of the most pressing issuesconfronting the United States in post-secondary education. This work aims to address andinvestigate the barriers perceived by students while entering pre-engineering, understand theirexperiences during the program and examine pre-engineering through professors' andacademic advisors' lenses. Thus, focusing on the challenge framed: "How might weunderstand students
