We use a tiered mentoring system in which students mentor more juniorstudents as they themselves advance along the career pathway. The pathway includes:  Intensive residential summer program for incoming college freshmen  Undergraduate research experiences, focused advising/counseling, career development, training in science literacy and laboratory techniques, and sponsored travel to national science conferences.  Retaining graduate students in science and engineering through recruitment efforts with academic departments and training grants, mentoring opportunities, community

We contendthat our mutual findings are of great significance to the engineering education community.The author of one study (Renata) utilized a mixed methods approach to explore how SHPEmembership influenced the engineering identity development of Latina/o students. Previousstudies show that students who build engineering identities in their college career are more likelyto persist within their engineering programs, thus illustrating the importance of engineeringidentity development to persistence.

Promotingengagement in mentoring opportunities, like summer camps, could aid in increasing andsustaining URM STEM majors.IntroductionIn order for the nation to continue its prominence in a global market, many scholars have deemedthe need to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities (URM) in engineering andother STEM related fields imperative1. This push to increase the participation of URM haslaunched efforts at the K-12 through graduate level2-8. Within the K-12 space the nationalacademies have deemed the need for equity and diversity in science and engineering a priorityfor the nation, labeling it a “democratic ideal worthy of focused attention”9

However, our postsecondary institutions are notproducing the number of graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, necessary to keep pace with demand. To curb projected shortages, it isimperative that the country invests in developing and educating a talented pool of qualifiedSTEM graduates.
