Intent to persist can be examined in a temporal manner, looking at short-term, degree attainment, and long-term commitment [31]. Example, “I intend to attend graduate school in STEM.” 6. Self Awareness - Self Awareness represents the extent to which one can identify and articulate personal values and professional values, accurately assess strengths and limitations, and view challenges with a growth mindset. Self- awareness plays a critical role in how students learn and develop as STEM professionals [32]. 7. Self-Efficacy - Perceived self

learning is widely accepted as an integral part of engineeringeducation, as these experiences have been shown to improve students’ vocational self-conceptand work self-efficacy, as well as provide higher starting salaries post-graduation [10-11]. In thecontext of this study, enrolment in the program may signal students’ intent to be part of theengineering profession, or at least to obtain some professional experience in the field of theirdegree. However, given that the students are in their first year, we assume that they remain at anearly stage of professional socialization. Therefore, their expectations for the profession and theirown career trajectories may reflect their implicit assumptions about engineering and serve as abaseline for future

As recentreports indicate, women’s enrollment in engineering graduate programs increased by only 4percent from 2014 to 2019 [5]. From observation at Penn State, department-level efforts toimprove the well-being of graduate students and limit attrition often rely on professionaldevelopment or lecture-based approaches to establish community. While these efforts can beuseful, literature shows that feelings of isolation and a lack of sense of community, rather than alack of career preparedness, contribute to attrition from graduate programs [6].Instructors have effectively increased student retention in engineering fields by encouraging self-efficacy and belonging

[17], women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) prioritizework prestige in their career choices, regardless of whether they work for a public or privatecompany. This preference for work prestige may challenge women who value balancing theirprofessional and personal goals, as it could limit their career opportunities [17]. Researchers have identified several factors and challenges that affect women's entry,persistence, or departure from STEM fields. For instance, one study found that these factorsincluded the relationship between self-efficacy and competence, religious and personal

While our analyses of previous cohorts of REU students have shown no genderdifferences in student gains in research-based experience and skills during the REU program[27], it would be interesting to further examine whether correlations exist between studentlearning gains from research experiences with a student’s sense of belonging. By furtheranalyzing the additional sections of the survey based on the reported participant sex, moreinformation can be gathered on whether correlations exist between a student’s sense of belongingand growth mindset, scientific identity, self-efficacy, and likelihood of graduate school.

By the time these girls enter middle school, they already have lower STEMidentities, self-efficacy, and career aspirations than their male classmates [30]. The panelistsidentified two areas of
