detailsof teaching hidden behind the curtains, nor did these training programs prepare us for how muchwe would grow. Specifically, these training programs did not prepare us for the difficulty indeveloping material, designing and utilizing active learning, or navigating student emotions. Ourexperiences included an abrupt learning curve we had to navigate to learn these skills whilepracticing them. These skills cannot be entirely taught without practice. If we had not engaged inthis apprenticeship, we would have encountered these facets of teaching while we were engagingin teaching for the first time. Our experiences and the themes which emerged from that processsuggest that more graduate students, particularly those interested in a faculty career

contribute to a sense of STEM identity, andthereby retention, in URMs [39], [52]. In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations

ismany engineering faculty have not had formalized teacher and curriculum development trainingand tend to adopt grading practices and policies they were exposed to as students [4]. As a result,grading has become an important yet unpredictable measure of performance that can drasticallyshape the ways students navigate their undergraduate experiences to become engineers.To date, little work has explored the interplay between course grades and professional identityformation in undergraduate engineering programs. However, these links have been highlighted inliterature that tends to describe engineering educational culture as inherently valuingperformance and productivity encompassed by an aura of exceptionalism. For example, Stevenset al. [5

also improve a students’aspiration to transfer (Wang et al., 2017), particularly when students form relationships withuniversity faculty and graduate students (Lenaburg et al., 2012). Community college faculty areaware of the importance of partnerships, and many desire to collaborate with members ofindustry to provide professional development opportunities for students (Smith and Wingate,2016). However, professional development is not enough if it does not also help students affordto stay in college. Kruse et al. (2015) discuss the “sticker shock” of tuition when transferringfrom a community college to a university, an effect which can be worsened when studentsreceive scholarships at the college but not at the university. Financially

. According toa 2005 paper by Ogilvie [51], the MITE program serves the following purpose (note that thisprogram is now called the “My Introduction to Engineering” program but is titled differently inOgilvie’s article, written 15 years ago): “The Minority Introduction to Engineering (MITE) program at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) is a five-day summer residential program designed to spark students’ interest in engineering as an exciting career choice. MITE offers 100 high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to discover engineering through hands-on experience and interaction with engineering students, faculty, staff, and practicing engineers.

effort (incremental theory; orincremental belief)” [8].Resilience is the ability of a person to cope with and adapt to changing circumstances successfully.For many engineering students, the adjustment to college from high school includes stressors bothrelated and unrelated to academics. New living conditions, routines, and challenging classes allcontribute to the stress of undergraduate students in engineering [6]. Students that have higherresilience have been shown to have better mental health and well-being, better educationaloutcomes, and better employability [4, 8, 12].Exploration of these theories specifically in engineering contexts is limited.

andcommunicate with the staff advisor about hiring decisions. Aside from this, the student team isextremely independent from other makerspaces that often use faculty and staff to run the space,which introduces a sense of community within the team and encourages a shared goal of creatingand teaching valuable workshops. The management system we currently employ has four workshop coordinators, typicallymore senior/experienced students, responsible for most administrative tasks. This allows theworkshop instructors to focus on the actual creation and leading of workshops. However, we donot want the position of coordinators to establish a higher position of power over the instructors.We have taken steps to ensure every member of the team knows that
