in STEM Through Self-Advocacy Education1 Introduction Many minoritized graduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)experience climates of intimidation within institutions of higher education in the form of dailymicroaggressions and expectations of assimilation (defined as cultural conformation vs. socialintegration). In this project, we include Black/African American, Indigenous, and Latinx graduatestudents, as well as underrepresented women in STEM PhD programs as part of the historicallyminoritized graduate students that participated in the GRaduate Education for AcademicallyTalented Students (GREATS) professional development program. Although the effects of chronic external stressors on increased mental

These methods typically leverage numeric features ofstudents’ academic trajectories to train AI models. The advent of Transformer-based [7] largelanguage models (LLMs) [8, 9, 10, 11] has significantly expanded the potential for cross-domainapplications due to their extensive knowledge bases [12, 13] and complex task-solvingcapabilities through basic reasoning [9, 14, 15] and planning [16].

Introduction There has been a concerted effort both nationally and at the local level to diversify thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and broaden participationfor individuals with a minoritized identity within each field (Basile & Lopez, 2015; NationalScience Foundation, 2020). Such efforts have permeated all educational levels starting in earlyelementary (e.g., enrichment programs) all the way into higher education and industry (e.g.,hiring practices, identity-affirming professional organization). Yet one of the well-documentedbarriers to diversifying the STEM discipline is the current and historical lack of diversity orrepresentation existing within STEM spaces, especially among STEM instructors who

As a result, the intern was ableto attend preliminary site meetings and see the complex flow of ideas and expression of thoughtsand concerns, many of which the intern observed - could have been resolved and betteradministered if technology platforms such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) wereemployed for the project. When the architectural and engineering drawings were pinned in the siteoffice and discussed, the intern had noticed the engineer making observations by foreseeingpotential clashes between architectural
