1. Briefly, the centerpiece of the program is our quarterly Success inSTEM seminar, which students take every quarter for their first two years at University ofWashington Tacoma. Through these weekly sessions, students connect with each other and withtheir faculty cohort mentor, learning to support each other through challenging times,developing a growth mindset towards their academic journey, understanding barriers that leadto equity gaps in STEM such as stereotype threat and imposter syndrome, and building a senseof belonging and self-efficacy. The seminar allows participants to explore co-curricularopportunities (e.g., student clubs), campus resources such as disability services and financial aidoffices, and career preparation, while

organization. Engineering-focused companies require a diverse workforce that is capable of innovation and many studentswill not join these types of firms in as their first employer post-college. Intrapreneurial skillshave been shown to facilitate career progression and improve managerial skills andopportunities. In order to address the need for more STEM workers to have intrapreneurial skills,TIP recruited and enrolled academically talented and diverse electrical and computer engineeringundergraduate students. TIP provided a multi-faceted approach to improve entrepreneurshipskills. Specifically, the program combined faculty and industry mentorship, workforcedevelopment seminars, an industrial internship, entrepreneurship programs, and scholarships

WorldInternational research collaborations provide important opportunities to support innovativeresearch and address the significant global challenges facing the world today. One way todevelop researchers who are both interculturally competent and able to navigate global researchnetworks within their field is to provide international research experiences for students. Priorwork has indicated that such experiences lead to a wide range of learning outcomes includingintercultural competence, research skills, personal development, and, importantly, a newperspective on their career goals and trajectory [1]–[6]. However, in the midst of the COVID-19pandemic, international collaborations and programs for students faced challenges in continuingtheir typical

study relied on qualitative interviews, using artifact elicitation interviews and constructivist critical incident technique interviews, of adult Makers. Through inductive analysis of a collection of interviews with Makers, a theme emerged where Makers from different educational backgrounds and with different careers (e.g., art, STEM, business) were making artifacts that had similar purposes. We present two cases of parallel pathways, (1) musical artifacts and (2) large-scale interactive artifacts, to demonstrate the multiple, parallel life pathways that Makers take to making their artifacts and the contextual events and activities that are critical to the direction of these pathways.
