The project builds on prior research suggesting thataffective factors including sense of belonging, identity, and self-efficacy play important yet notfully understood roles in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students’academic persistence and successful progression toward careers, and that these factors can proveparticularly influential for individuals from groups that have been historically marginalized inSTEM [1]-[6]. Prior studies conducted as part of this research project have demonstrated impactsof Scholars’ math-related experiences on their developing identities [7] and found that structuresassociated with the scholarship program helped support Scholars’ developing sense of belongingdespite the shift

the underrepresentation ofwomen and historically marginalized communities [1]. The need for skilled workers in STEMcontinues to grow, yet women make up only 1/3rd of the STEM workforce [1]. This issue is evenmore pronounced when considering the field of engineering where women hold only 16% thejobs. Furthermore, students in high-poverty populations score significantly worse onmathematics and science assessments in 4th and 8th grade, and classroom teachers with lessexperience in STEM are more prevalent at schools with high-minority or high-povertypopulations [1]. The pandemic exacerbated disparities, with isolation and limited opportunitiesfor formal and informal educational engagement. K-12 education in mathematics and science arethe

We studied shifts inboth types of student mindsets over three one-semester courses. We found no significant changein students’ growth mindset at the beginning of the semester compared to the end of the semester.However, students’ fixed mindsets showed a statistically significant increase of 0.37-points fromthe beginning of the semester to the end of the semester, with an effect size of 0.43.

This ability is also a common learning outcome in project-based introductoryengineering courses [2]. Quite often, student teams are not self-selected, in order to simulatesimilar situations in the engineering workplace, and to prompt students to develop additionalflexibility and objectivity toward fellow team members’ diverse educational, cultural, andbehavioral orientations. Since these courses and teams often last for only one semester, theamount of time to develop this ability is

These narratives include: engineering is masculine and competitive [2], andengineering values technical competency much more than creativity and social interactions [1],[3], [4]. These narratives can lead to students feeling little sense of belonging, and their identitiesnot being validated in engineering [5] [6]. Studies show that students shifting narratives abouttheir

The lackof representation of Black students in undergraduate engineering programs is particularlypronounced.
