mentoring and self-efficacy to facilitate solutions for successful matriculation, andavoiding “black holes” by using student feedback to fulfill needs. The investigations use aphenomenological approach as its qualitative research method to study “phenomena.”5.1 Part 1: Developing an Orbit for STEM SuccessIn one NSF-program, data showed that Black and Latino graduate students in engineering and ITprograms experienced a sense of mentoring in external workshops that they didn’t regularlyreceive within departments. Further, these seminars influenced students to strengthen theirSTEM identity. These kinds of interventions metaphorically return us to physics, as objects canavoid destructive black holes if they are thrust into orbits that are far enough

environments are created when a group ofindividuals work collectively and collaboratively to achieve a shared goal or objective. They canbe comprised of the atmosphere, individual members (experience, skillsets, and motivations),communication, shared resources, and the space (cognitive, affective and physical) in which theywork. Team-effectiveness within these environments can often be difficult and time consumingto measure, requiring training of the observers as well as a significant time investment in codingand analysis post-observation. As a result, observations of teams in engineering and computerscience education have typically looked at which tasks are performed and/or which behaviors areexhibited over a specific observation period.7-9 While

Results of a longitudinal study suggested that the approachhad the potential to double the number of the nation's engineering graduates, while bothmaintaining their quality and increasing their diversity. The results suggested that the impact ofthe course on student motivation and self-efficacy had contributed to increased graduation rateswith the greatest impact on the student groups who stood the most to gain.Mentorship program, Interaction with industry: Johnson et. al.14 described a peer mentoringprogram at

(Jeff)The benefits of iterative learning in STEM have been previously reported elsewhere: studentsreported significantly higher self-efficacy when engaged in semester-long, challenging pre-engineering experiences over shorter STEM programs such as single-day workshops or fieldtrips [26].

We categorized questionsfrom the original Metcalf [1] survey, which represent a student’s response to the four factorsidentified by Rainey et al. and examine our data along gender and race and ethnicity to identifyequity issues for our setting. There are other measures of belonging that have been used to measure student belong-ing.

insistence from engineering and engineering ethics thatfailure is a necessary component of a ‘good’ engineering process and embracing failure isparamount to success in engineering [31], [32], [33], [34], engineering course and programdesign rarely integrate this value. Instead, 40% and 50% student failure rates in engineeringare often explained as not meant to be, unready for rigorous education, or poor work ethic[35], [36]. However, Brandi Geisinger and Raj Raman’s work on understanding attrition ratesidentify ”classroom and academic climate,” “grades and conceptual understanding,” and “self-efficacy and self-confidence” as the three leading reasons students report leaving engineeringdisciplines ([36] p.914). Of these issues, recent investigations

Through that work, our understanding of thefunctioning of the influencers and impacts on student experiences in engineering educationevolved.

on an individual’s self-efficacy intheir ability to execute the desired behavior. While these three beliefs designations may notalways accurately predict behavior, research has shown these types to contribute the most. Otherresearch suggests that iterative self-reflection and reconciliation of our past behavior can helpdevelop more robust beliefs about our future actions [15].Beliefs occur at both a conscious (espoused) and subconscious (implicit) level which are derivedfrom our socialization [29]. It is difficult to effectively study implicit beliefs, making them a wildcard when comparing an individual’s beliefs to their behaviors. This is problematic forresearchers because our implicit beliefs may influence our actions, but our conscious

It was also influenced by Wang’s STEM Transfer Model [30], which suggests thattransfer and retention is influenced by a series of factors. These factors include a student’s self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and the four-year institution’s willingness to welcome transfersonto their campus.

For example, in a systematic review of 94 studies of smallgroup discussions, researchers found that single-gender groups had more purposeful functioningthan mixed-gender groups [83]. Other studies have found that single-gender pairs of elementarystudents had more verbal interactions, were more task-focused, and were more likely to sharematerials [84]. In addition, students’ self-efficacy in engineering increased significantly if theyparticipated in single-gender engineering programs but decreased significantly for those inmixed-gender programs [86].Single-gender small groups may be particularly effective in fostering girls’ equitable engagementin

The authors call on institutions to generate a sense of belonging and providesocial and structural support that increase self-efficacy. While studying experiences of women ofcolor engineering students, Tate and Linn [12] found that students formulate multiple identitiesto help them persist in engineering studies. Three identities were most prevalent: academic,social, and intellectual. Academic identity is associated with being a student and success isrepresented through grades. Social
