We will continue to interview other key informants as appropriate on our studycampuses as the study progresses. We also plan to interview 80 Black students who are currentlymajoring in or have switched from ME and ECE majors on these campuses to learn if and howthese programs may have impacted them as well as what other factors they credit with theirremaining in or leaving these majors. Our quantitative study will build on the analyses in [1] and[2], among other studies, while focusing on Black students at our study sites. In particular

Itallows the participants conceptions of engineers to be coded into the following categories:  Designer: Designing or improving objects or processes, usually portrayed by drawing plans or performing specific parts of the engineering design process, an implied client or public use is intended  Technician: Computer or electronic technician portrayed by a person fixing something electronic  Design/Create single: Hobbies, crafts, and designs for personal use or making one object for a specific person  Tradesman: Carpenters, plumbers, welders, etc. where a person is fixing

Since the interventionsthemselves are short (both the norms and mindset activities take less than an hour), the researchers weresurprised to see that so many students reflected positively on those activities. What the essay is not measuring,however, is the change in student sense of belonging over the course of the quarter.

Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3].

In addition, therewas a lack of specific subpopulations, with respect to lateral and vertical transfer students andwhether they were either in-state or out-of-state transfers.

,when asked about other identifying characteristics of engineers, participants talked aboutsupplementary connections and experiences that further defined them as engineers.The findings from this study lead us to believe that students move through a set of learning andexperience milestones throughout their academic career, initiated and supplemented by socialconnections. As students find themselves going in a different direction than originally planned,they compensate for a lack of experience in one area with additional experience or interpersonalconnections in another. Students’ perceptions of success stemmed from a culmination ofexperiences and connections that are valued by them as individuals. While many studentsfollowed a prescribed
