Studies found that students who withdrawfrom STEM majors are less involved in extra-curricular engineering activities, have lowerengineering self-efficacy and career expectations, but higher anxiety1, 3. However, the averageGPA of women who withdraw from STEM is no different than that of others1. To increase theretention of women in STEM, solutions have been proposed by many studies such as facilitatingcommunities for females4-5, involving peer mentors6-9, and mentoring by faculty and/or womenengineers10.According to the American Association of University
