asked to discuss a scenario where they were tasked with developing aproduct - specifically to develop the latest voice recognition technology for a product consumerscan wear as a ring. Students were asked to consider one of the initial steps within the productdevelopment process. This required them to consider the populations from which engineers needto seek input in the early stages of the technology and ring prototypes. The students thenresponded to a second electronic poll inquiring about the career readiness competencies that aremost necessary for this stage of their product design, which leads to a discussion about the socialand non-technical competencies that are so critical in early stages of a project.

Engineering Excellence was created as an urgent response to a COVID-relatedsuspension of in-person learning and bridge programs, not effort to study a particular engineeringeducation research hypothesis. Meanwhile, several lessons were learned; • Creating a program that captures in-person type activities i.e., slides versus GoodNotes. • Using Zoom technology to streamline administrative tasks while the instructor focuses on creating an engaging class. This allowed enforcement of video engagement. • Simulating the homework, quiz, and test expectations of a credit course will elicit student behavior as if it were for credit. • Moving group work to the beginning of class and the addition of attendance points decreases the
-efficacy on engineering identity formationdoes not differ between on-track and off-track students. Implications and future researchdirections are discussed.IntroductionDespite efforts to bolster the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careerpipeline, the underrepresentation of historically marginalized groups such as women and Peopleof Color (POC) persists [1] - [3]. The continuation of the diversity deficit in STEM is concerningdue to the skill, vitality, and imagination that is sieved from the STEM professional field.Moreover, disproportionate persistence in STEM fields is not the result of a lack of interest ofunderrepresented student groups [4]. The 2012 report from the President’s Council of Advisorson Science and

This is especially truefor science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, where minoritizedgroups are grossly underrepresented [2], [6]–[8]. For academic year 2021- 22, Latinas attainedonly 13% of all bachelor’s degrees in engineering awarded to U.S. citizens here at the Universityof New Mexico (UNM), and none graduated with a Ph.D. within UNM’s School of Engineering[9]. For the data and this study, Latinas are defined as individuals who identify as a female, withHispanic or Latino ethnicity. Unfortunately, this data is not much different for the national data[2], and is
