By considering various datavisualizations methods as well as the design principles used to present them, understanding andinterpretation by the user can be improved.In the 1890’s, W.E.B. DuBois published artistic visualizations of African American civil rightsviolations that grabbed the public’s attention and clearly displays the intended conclusions [4].These pioneering data visualizations demonstrate the profound significance of creativity withinthe field of data representation and analysis. Through his use of intricate hand-drawn charts,graphs, and maps, DuBois demonstrated that the presentation of data could go beyond statisticsand become a powerful tool for conveying complex realities. For example

for the retention of first-year students [10]. A report entitled“STEM Students & Their Sense of Belonging: S-STEM Programs’ Practices & EmpiricallyBased Recommendations” identifies cohort experiences as an important factor in academicintegration and success [9]. Offering retention programs is valuable, but if students do not attendor participate, they will not receive the maximum benefits that these programs can provide.Students are more likely to participate in retention programs if they feel a sense of communitywithin the institution [9]. Furthermore, female engineering students, who have been found tohighly value the sense of connectedness, benefit from the positive impact of a supportivecommunity, enhancing their resilience. Thus
