Extremal effects areavoidable, so mentees do not need to exhibit the “extra-scientific effect.” A condition whereunderrepresented students minimize their identities (race or gender) to conform to the STEMcommunity [42].This study investigates the relationship between mentorship and the corresponding effects onengineering persistence for FTIC female students. The existing mentorship process in engineeringaccounts for surface-level similarities and rarely deep-level similarities in shared values, beliefs,and interests [17, 43]; however, the underlying mechanism by which the practice of mentorshipaffects female persistence in engineering remains an unmet challenge.

It follows thata significant number of Hispanic graduates of an undergraduate engineering program who seekto enter the engineering workforce face, for the first time, the prospect and challenge ofrelocating away from home.For example, over 95% of students (more than 22,000) at the research team’s universitycommute to campus.

Another review examinedliterature (including non-peer-reviewed literature) that had been published about STEM SBPsbetween 1992 and 2016, with a focus on program goals. [4] The authors identified 14 differentprogram goals, falling into three major categories: academic success, psychosocial, anddepartmental. Another review, published in 2023, focused on SBPs serving Native Americanstudents [5] and focused on identifying guidance; that guidance
