the number of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career seeking individuals and increasing theretention of students preparing for this fields, is the lack of information and therefore low studentmotivation toward these careers. Students may also hold misconceptions regarding the nature oftechnological careers and this may also dissuade them from participating. Exposing students togreen energy and sustainability topics as a STEM context may be a motivating approach andwhen coupled with clarifying career information, it may sharpen much of the generallyambiguous knowledge on these topics. The understanding students gain might then change theirattitudes regarding STEM careers and lead to pursuit of academic studies leading to

linkage between engineering writing and disciplinary discourse with other mechanisms ofengineering graduate socialization, such as identity formation, socialization, persistence, anddesire to pursue academic careers. This study is designed as an embedded exploratory mixedmethods study of current graduate engineering students and recent non-completers that seek toanswer the following research questions: 1. How do graduate students at various stages in their PhD programs in engineering perceive the role of academic writing as it relates to academic socialization and success in future academic careers? 2. How are these perceptions different or similar for graduate students who are considering leaving or have left their

Thesearch resulted in a full-text review of 25 articles that explore programmatic outcomes for pre-college students with the intent to diversify the STEM workforce. Initial findings suggest that thegoal of these intervention programs is to provide enriching experiences for these students toencourage interests to pursue a STEM career as well as boost confidence in STEM subjects.Metrics used to target the effectiveness of programs revolved around three criteria: (1) studentacademic achievement in science and math, (2) matriculation through a STEM major and (3)competency in engineering-oriented skills.

Universities aim to offerstudents in STEM programs career preparedness by imparting knowledge and necessarytraining in specialized skills. However, it should be acknowledged that not all students haveequal opportunities for the study of STEM.

To address this issueand make engineering a more inclusive and accessible field for everyone, regardless of gender orbackground, it is crucial to increase the representation of women in the field and provide themwith the necessary support and empowerment to succeed [5]. Generally, women from diverse regions across the globe, particularly those in STEM fieldssuch as engineering, face various challenges, including math anxiety, gender stereotypes, andfinancial barriers [6]. In addition, students pursuing careers in science also face similar challenges[7]. Thus, math anxiety can be a significant internal obstacle for women in engineering, as it canerode their self-assurance and motivation to pursue careers in this field [6

3 Introduction & Background Parenting styles play a significant role in shaping children's development, including theircareer choices. When examining factors that influence student career choices, i.e. peer groupinfluence, role model influence, family influence, parental influence is the most common factorin determining a students’ career choice (Kumar, 2016). This helps emphasize the importance ofparenting styles' influence on their children’s choice of a career path. Baumrind (1996) definesand categorizes four parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved.Among these four parenting styles, the authoritative parenting style which is characteristic ofhigh expectations

barriers to STEMeducation opportunities are produced through intersecting axes of oppression, such as due togender, race, disability, and socioeconomic status, and can be tied to experiences ofdiscrimination and prejudice [4], [5], [6].STEM outreach programs specifically designed for identified underserved youth often aim toaddress underrepresentation within STEM, particularly within post-secondary programs orSTEM careers. We note that the framing of underrepresentation in STEM may suggest a merelack of knowledge about or opportunity to engage in STEM as the primary barrier to equity inSTEM. This framing does not acknowledge the structural exclusion inherent in STEM; manymarginalized individuals may already have opportunities to engage in STEM

Historically, most women who paved the way for others to enter theseprofessions neither had the opportunities nor support on their side. Nevertheless, they introducedseveral initiatives that created opportunities for other women by “shaking up the world of sciencein all sorts of groundbreaking ways” [1]. In the past few decades, there is overwhelming evidencethat women are underrepresented in engineering worldwide [7], [8]. On average, women constitute“less than 10% of engineers worldwide, so they stand out of most engineering crowds” [9]. Presently, STEM disciplines attract fewer female students compared to other majors dueto low interest in STEM related subjects while at
