. Identification of our neurodivergent studentassets can then motivate the degree to which that engineering program requires adaptation tosupport these students, such as cohorts, space/dorms, etc. Beyond this, it also gives insights tohow interactions with others may affect the confidence and self-efficacy of neurodiverse studentsin the major, particularly as interventions are designed and deployed. Low self-efficacy has beenlinked to low retention rates in programs, particularly for Students of Color, so a measurement ofsocial capital, as an example, is a way for a program to address issues in retention and alignopportunities for students of color with goals of improving relations and confidence.LimitationsIt is uncertain how students self-defined

We not only investigated the low-stakesassessments, students’ perceived learning, but also their social learning metrics includingbelongingness and self-efficacy because belonging and self-efficacy in learning are knownimportant factors that positively influence students academic performance [7], and students’success should not be limited to only performance based measurements. Furthermore, we studieda new instrument (PAIM) based on the POUR model [8] that measured students’ perceivedaccessibility. PAIM was found to be predictive of SWD perceived learning [8].Background Perceivable Users can use their available senses, such as sight, hearing, and touch, to fully process information in their electronic

of the relationship between the student and the student’s advisor andthe support received from this advisor. Some of these factors are productivity, self-efficacy, andcommitment. The second category, Student experience, grouped the factors related to theExpectancy Value Theory [8], such as the perceived cost, the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation,and the sense of belonging. The Faculty-Student interaction refers to factors that come from thefaculty professors, besides the advisor. The latter category includes factors such as receivingadvice, mentorship, or special attention from a professor. Finally, the academic support categoryincluded factors that are related to the institution, for example, participation in research projectspreviously

engineering drew on familial capital to navigate unwelcomingengineering environments [Smith, 2022]. Mexican-American and Latinx learners, in otherstudies, regularly drew on their strengths in cultivating familismo and other cultural assets intheir progression through engineering programs [Rodriguez et al., 2023; Rincón & Rodriguez,2021; Wilson-Lopez et al., 2016]. While many of these studies employ qualitative and mixedmethods, several have used quantitative methods [Denton et al., 2020]. In a systematic review ofCCW in STEM education research, Denton et al. (2020) identified two studies that utilize asolely quantitative approach. The first quantitative study explored the relationship between thecapitals of CCW and the self-efficacy of

It also was good to feel like there arepeople that are ready to … make positive differences to Engineering Education…This academyprovided (1) self-efficacy, (2) network, (3) knowledge exchange.”Also in the focus group, when thinking about additional resources or follow-up support theydesired after the academy, Fellows primarily talked about three ideas:1. Mentoring and/or regular meetings to answer questions and ensure steady progress on their projects.2. More information and resources associated with NSF funding.3. Providing their administrator colleagues with workshop materials and other information about the Academy.For approximately half of the Fellows, their next step was

institutions will be presented.IntroductionVirtual mentoring is not a new practice, it has been in existence for over 20 years [5], [6] [7], [8],[9]. The online setting can seamlessly connect undergraduate students across the country withmentors, and the GradTrack program was initially started in 2021 during the COVID-19pandemic. Virtual mentoring has also been shown to increase sense of community, STEMachievement, career self-efficacy, and drive to persist in mentors and mentees [10].The GradTrack mentoring structure is a scalable group and peer mentoring model, with 2graduate student mentors from Purdue with 5-7 URM undergraduate student mentees fromacross the United States and Puerto Rico joined in a mentoring circle.

This finding illustrates students’ learning styles and preferencesregarding the most effective way to engage and learn course material. It also highlights thechallenges associated of adjusting rapidly to a new learning modality. Confidence in Class. The theme of “Confidence in Class” was a concern for 75.8% ofparticipants. This finding helps to highlight students’ concern regarding their own self-efficacy tolearn course material in this new learning setting. It can be argued that a large part of student’soverall confidence in class originates from
