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.

Accordingto reports from FIU’s AIM website for retention and graduation studies [13], some of theseactions and practices included:1. Changes in grading options – The No Credit (NC) grading option replaced a D or F in any University Core Curriculum course with an NC grade. While NC grades may be considered a negative impact on retention and graduation, they are less detrimental to a student’s success than Fs. Using the NC policy as an intervention helps bring about behavior change and thus increases the number of returning students.2.
