, 2002; Stout et al., 2011) and, to a lesser extent, race(e.g., Zirkel, 2002; Evans, 1992). To our knowledge, no studies have analyzed the impact of rolemodels in regard to less visible characteristics, such as First-Generation College Student (FGCS)status and sexuality. As for the outcomes, the existing research has identified the benefits rolemodels can have on students’ academic performance (Bagès et al., 2016; Herrmann et al., 2016;Marx & Roman, 2002; Zirkel, 2002;), persistence (Drury et al., 2011; Lawner et al., 2019), andaffect and beliefs (Lin-Siegler et al., 2016; Lockwood, 2006; Stout et al., 2011). In these studies,students were exposed to role models through a variety of means, including letters written by anexemplar (e.g

develop a lifelong appreciation for and awareness of the mathematicsthey will encounter and use, even if subconsciously, every day in professional practice. Thepaper concludes with a summary of student recognition of the impact of the interventions in theirlives.IntroductionEngineering students begin working with simple mathematical models in their first math andscience courses. As they progress in school, the models become more involved, as does themathematics. By the time a student graduates and enters engineering practice, they should beexperts in, or at the very least comfortable with, the development of mathematical models andcapable of solving many physical problems. Wankat and Oreovicz suggest that obtaining‘expert’ status takes a decade
