steer women toward disciplines perceived as more "appropriate" for them,such as healthcare or social sciences, thereby limiting their career choices and fostering asense of alienation in engineering. Moreover, the lack of visible female role modelsexacerbates this issue; without relatable figures, many students struggle to envision asuccessful future in the field. For example, a study commissioned by McLaren Automotiveand Plan International found that 61% of schoolgirls desire more female role models inengineering to inspire their pursuit of STEM careers [17]. Additionally, research indicatesthat women engineers and engineers of color continue to face pervasive biases in hiring, pay,promotions, and evaluations [18]. Enhancing female

As part of our recruitment strategy, we invited allprovincial and territorial regulators of professional engineers to an informational session aboutour planned survey on engineering career paths. In particular, we reached out to each regulator’srepresentative on the ‘30 x 30’ campaign, which has a goal to increase the percentage of womenamong all newly licensed engineers to 30 per cent by the year 2030 [27].

For instance, they found that “for every one-unit increase instudents’ self-efficacy, they were over eight times more likely to plan to enroll in a master’sprogram and 13 times more likely to plan to enroll in a Ph.D. program relative to not attendinggraduate school” [8, p. 154].Therefore, the body of literature on women in graduate degrees in engineering remains extremelylimited, especially disaggregated on each graduate degree (MSc, MEng, or Ph.D.) or engineeringsubfields.

The auto-generated interview texts were reviewed and corrected by theresearch team for clarity.To analyze interviews, thematic analysis was used. Thematic analysis is a method to identify andanalyze patterns in qualitative data, and allows for themes to emerge from the data [30]. It iswidely used in qualitative research, and is not bounded by a priori codes from known theories.Instead, theoretical frameworks were applied after analysis to contextualize and make sense

However, the current application that the authors use to register participantsin the mentoring program is extensive, so adding a long personality test may deter students fromregistering for the program.After an extensive search, the authors concluded that prior research on factors and/or methodolo-gies used to intentionally match a mentee with a mentor is sparse, particularly for undergraduatepeer mentoring.
