first-and second-year graduate students in the biomedical engineering program were enrolled in theseseminar courses since they are required to complete a degree (BS/MS/PhD) in biomedicalengineering at PSU. Second, these seminar courses provide professional development forbiomedical engineering students by presenting current research and career opportunities throughweekly invited speakers. The overall professional development learning objectives of the courseswere compatible with our education modules designed to increase student understanding andcompetency of topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Third, the format of the courses(i.e., weekly invited speakers) made it easy to insert our content into the curriculum. During each

and 2019 have completed their engineering degreeprogram. We assessed their experiences through exit interviews and report in this paper asummary of their responses. The students noted that being able to identify themselves asbelonging to the RAMP community was a positive outcome of their participation during thesummer, an identity they appreciated throughout their engineering program. The potential forsummer bridge programs to create community and sense of belonging has been discussed insurveys of STEM summer bridge programs [8,9]. Characterized as a psychosocial goal of theprogram, improving student sense of belonging to a community has been found to influencestudent motivation, academic achievement, and well-being [8].

Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)program in a chemical engineering department at a large, Research 1 (R1) university. In additionto learning technical research skills through the REU program, REU administrators hoped topromote and assess a host of educational and psychosocial skills, including the interest andmotivation for participating in undergraduate research, the likelihood of attending graduateschool, engineering growth mindset, sense of belonging, and creative identity. To measure anypotential changes in participants in these areas from before to after participating in the REU,evaluators conducted both pre- and post-surveys and individual interviews with the participants.With the mentioned host of learning outcomes associated with

Technology and Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology, as well as Head of Subject, Physics at Kenyatta High School. The combination of my teaching and data analysis skills earned me a position at a child and women rights community-based organization, Champions of Peace-Kisumu (CoP-K), as a capacity building coordinator, a precursor to my new action-research interest. With work experience spanning engineering industry and teaching in technical and vocational education and training institutions, my research centers on underrepresented (URM) groups with a focus on efforts to advance solutions on broadening participation in engineering spaces, both in college and the workplace.Dr. Whitney Gaskins, University of Cincinnati

WiSTEM is theobservation that Black women are underrepresented in STEM for a variety ofreasons that include (1) anxiety pertaining to mathematics and computing (2) a lackof exposure to STEM disciplines and tangential careers (3) a lack of exposure toculturally responsive pedagogy, and (4) a lack of communities of support. Key Words - STEM Identity, Sense of Belonging, Persistence, Community, Self AwarenessINTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENTMany institutions of higher education in the US do not reflect the racial and ethnicdiversity of our nation amongst its degree recipients. Clearly, we must acknowledgethe barriers to STEM education for individuals underrepresented in these disciplinesand develop interventions to mitigate them [1]–[3]. Racial

build upon our previous studies and examine the beliefs and behaviorsof engineering students entering in Fall 2021, including longitudinal research analyzing theeffects of various pre-college experiences and student attitudes on self-efficacy, SI usage, andfirst-semester outcomes [7].Consequences of Preparedness for First-Year Engineering StudiesPre-matriculation credits, defined as classes taken in high school that are equivalent to college-level courses, have historically been a key indicator of student success in undergraduate STEMeducation programs [8]. Students receive these credits based on results from AdvancedPlacement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests, or through dual enrollmentprograms at community colleges and other
