It is equally valuable to examine potential motivations for thesepapers to simply mention Asian American students and what goal(s) these quick mentions serve.It is interesting to see that quite a few of these papers often address concerns of other minoritystudents, such as Latinx students or African American students, while at the same time equatingAsian students with white students. This again plays into the model minority myth, whichwrongly places Asians as the “standard” for what minorities “should” strive for [7] [8] [9][10]. At least 18 papers include language in their abstracts which equate Asian and whitestudents, thus contradicting the claims in other papers which cite Asian Americans as a minoritygroup.

developspatial skills and interest in engineering through play, which may ultimately encourage them topursue engineering pathways in the future.IntroductionThere are many research reports and studies that highlight the gender gap between men andwomen in engineering fields [1]. In 2018, 22.2% of bachelor’s degrees in engineering wereearned by women [2]. Additionally, in 2019, among those with science and engineering (S&E)degrees, 15.98% of women worked in S&E occupations (compared to 35.38% of men) [2]. Thegap between the number of women and men earning engineering degrees as well as the numberof women pursuing science and engineering careers suggests the need to improve and supportwomen’s participation in engineering fields.One factor that may

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010

Therefore, the formation of home-culture studygroups could be considered an oppositional behavior because many of the faculty do notencourage it.Another example of community conformism occurred through teaching assistants’ office hours.Students found that TAs were more approachable than professors because they were morewilling to help and were more like peers. At TA office hours, students not only received helpfrom TAs, but also found help and community among other students there who were working onthe same assignments. The final example of community conformism was Student 5’s effort torecruit more minority students to undergraduate research opportunities, thus helping them adapt.We observed one example of

Sustaining program participation by URM graduate students in STEM can bechallenging due to the demands on the student’s time for coursework and research. The Covid-19 pandemic also raised the barriers to recruit students and sustain engagement. Many of ourGREATS graduate students are first generation in STEM or come from lower socioeconomicstatus with limited financial resources.
