for graduate school.”She chose a research internship in an institute and convinced her reluctant professor who argued“normally undergraduates don't take on research experiences because their only job is to be astudent” by countering “Well, I can do it. I can do it. And I said, like, you can hire me full-time.I'm just really into it.” She landed the internship as a fulltime research assistant without a stipendand could afford doing so since she had received a Gilman scholarship prior to departure.Yet another outcome was a student, MO, who had doubts regarding her chosen field of civilengineering for a career path prior to her year abroad. Instead, she wanted to explore teaching.MO still chose a research internship during which she discovered

Homero is the leader of the Engineering Competencies, Learning, and Inclusive Practices for Success (ECLIPS) Lab, where he leads a team focused on doing research on contemporary, culturally relevant, and inclusive pedagogical practices, emotions in engineering, competency development, and understanding the experiences of traditionally marginalized engineering students (e.g., Latinx, international students, Indigenous students) from an asset-based perspective. Homero’s goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students bring into the field and to train graduate

employment opportunities. ● Center for Global Engagement (international office)CPT/OPT Workshops: Most international students come to the US knowing that their F-1international student visa comes with the benefit of being able to gain practical experience intheir field of study after graduation and are eager to learn about employment opportunities. Inparticular, students studying in a STEM discipline on the Department of Homeland Security'sofficial STEM Designated Majors list have the added benefit of applying for an additional twoyears of work authorization in addition to their first year, for a total of three years. Therefore,CGE offers workshops on Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or internship opportunities andOptional Practical Training

A major review of relationship-based STEM interventions highlighted thescarcity of research in this area, emphasizing the need to set an objective aiming toexamine the best practices and lessons learned for building impactful women-focusedSTEM mentorship programs for global reach.PurposeThe present study aims to gain a more profound understanding of practical and evidence-basedinsights into women-focused STEM mentorship initiatives, specifically to better understand theefficacy of mentoring programs aimed at supporting women in STEM, particularly those at thegraduate and early career stages in academia – which includes students stemming at thebachelors, graduate and doctoral level.

increasingly emphasized thecultivation of culturally-aware and globally proficient engineers. In a world that is becomingmore interconnected, there is a growing demand for engineers who possess not only technicalexpertise, but also essential professional skills such as global awareness, effectivecommunication across diverse groups, and adaptability. International programs, comprisingstudy, internship, research, and service learning abroad, offer a means to nurture engineers with aglobal perspective. Nevertheless, engineering students often face competing priorities, such asinflexibility in curriculum and the emphasis on practical experience, which can act as barriers totheir study abroad plans. International internships offer a unique opportunity for
