SystemsTheory recognizes that variation in individuals’ development “exists across time within contexts,and across contexts within time;” as a result, “differences in time and place constitute vitalcontributors to plasticity across the life span” [13]. Given the variations by time and place, weexpect a diverse range of pathways of individuals who are on their way to the engineeringprofession.The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) [14] posits that one’s learning experiences caninfluence their self-efficacy and outcome expectations, which in turn influences their interests,goals and, ultimately, career choice actions; these learning experiences are affected by personinputs (such as predispositions, gender and race) and contextual affordances (such as

shapingachievement goal orientation, our results encourage the design of gender-neutral interventionsaimed at fostering mastery and performance goals for all students. By focusing on strategies thatcollectively enhance mastery orientation, cognitive engagement, and self-efficacy, educators canbetter support students’ academic success regardless of gender. This involves designing learningenvironments that prioritize growth, collaboration, and skill development, ensuring that allstudents are empowered to reach their full potential. Future research should explore additionalfactors influencing AGO, such as cultural background, teaching methodologies, and students’academic years.

to selectedstudents. In addition to the scholarship funds, S-STEM programs offer additional activities andresources [1]-[4]. For example, Southern Methodist University provided their S-STEM studentswith weekly seminars and block scheduling which positively impacted the students and theirability to excel academically. While various academic and support resources are included in theimplementation of the S-STEM Program discussed here, this paper’s focus is the impact ofweekly lunches on our students.Student retention is typically influenced by feelings of self-efficacy and inclusion in engineeringspaces [5]-[6]. Reasons for attrition include classroom and academic climate, grades andconceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence

organizational success. Given that the majority of engineeringgraduates have only extensively been in the educational system [15], it is vital to identifyapproaches that allow them to better thrive in the workplace. Katz found that engineering studentswho had directly engaged with the professional engineering environment through interviews, co-op assignments, and seminars had “expectations [of their workplace responsibilities]…that muchmore closely matched the expectations of the professionals than…the students who had not”engaged with the professional world [29]. Similarly, problem-based learning through a capstonedesign course was shown to increase software engineering students’ confidence in their technicalabilities and improve their self-efficacy

Retention Problem and Gauging Interest in Interdisciplinary Integration into Undergraduate CurriculumAbstractUnderrepresented minorities (URMs) leave the engineering field at a rate significantly higherthan average. Researchers conclude that low self-efficacy, lack of support, and hostile andbenevolent discrimination are contributing causes. We contend that URMs’ lack of retention inengineering is due to a push by these causes, as well as a pull towards fields that more closelyalign with their identity. To explore further, a Qualtrics survey instrument was developed tounderstand the experiences of people who have fully or partially left the engineering field.
