Additionally, URM STEM students often report feeling invisible and culturallyirrelevant and experiencing negative classroom stereotypes, leading to self-isolation [1], dropout[2], and even higher levels of self-reported anxiety and stress. Such experiences are alsocorrelated with a reluctance to self-identify as an engineer [3].Study shows that belongingness and identifying as an engineer are strongly related [4]-[5].Engineering identity (EI) represents how strongly someone identifies with being an engineer andserves as an indicator for other key metrics like retention and persistence [6].

A significant means to address this issue is to increase theparticipation of women students. However, this can prove to be challenging. In a studyconducted by Marra and Bogue,1 it was found that although women engineering students enterthe university with high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, those levels decline quicklyduring the first year. They also found through their research, that the initial levels were neverregained. One method to help retain diversity in engineering and technology

Physical concepts are used tostudy the physical phenomena represented by models. Models that go through iterative cycles ofconjecturing, testing and revising, until they satisfy constrains and provide a feasible explanationof the phenomenon under certain assumptions. In each iterative cycle, knowledge increases and abetter understanding of the phenomenon is attained, and the models become more robust andconnect more concepts. Models and modeling perspective
