A study focused on STEM identity among agroup of S-STEM engineering scholars who were ‘at risk’ for dropping out of STEM due to unmetfinancial need showed that peer mentoring relationships and informal peer relationships plays animportant role in scholars’ journeys into becoming engineers.

Researchefforts to explore the complexity of the underrepresentation of Black engineers at every levelhave resulted in a common agenda with an “ultimate goal to improve, enhance, and transformlearning and work environments” [6, p. 107].Black undergraduate engineering students encounter many challenges in their pursuit of anengineering degree.

While literature has explored how engineering studentsgather design information, less work has explored how students make sense of this information.To understand how engineering students may approach information synthesis tasks, we providedten undergraduate engineering students with 25 pieces of information related to an open-endeddesign scenario
