As Crewe [3] further notes, depending on the institutionthat awarded the graduate degree(s), recognition of success may be framed around the alumni’snon-HBCU campus environments rather than how one’s undergraduate HBCU campusexperiences helped lay the foundation for academic achievement. Such narratives areproblematic and speak to the need to further highlight the critical and supportive role HBCUsplay in producing Black STEM professionals. Additionally, there remains a critical gap in theliterature that details the graduate school decision-making process for HBCU

Additionally, the researchers randomly selected one or two students from eachgroup/table in camp 1 to 4. A total of 22 students presented their groups/tables to conduct in-depth interviews with us on the last day of each camp. Of the 22 interviewees, six were fromcamp 1, seven were from camp 2, five were from camp 3, and four were from camp 4. Allstudents and their guardians were required to sign consent letters.Instruments The instrument used in this study was the Middle/High School Student Attitudes towardSTEM (S-STEM) survey.

We used twoseparate Likert scales with scores between 1 to 10 to determine the weights and assess the performancelevel, respectively, of each criterion through teacher surveys. We conducted the surveys at the end of eachweek (iteration), determined the objective function value, analyzed the outcomes, and took necessaryactions to enhance the objective function value in the next iteration(s). Here, the objective function valuecomputed in an iteration indicates the overall performance of that iteration.

Having the power to act seems to be a strong factor for engineering graduates. Thegraduates value the power to make their own decisions but also to take responsibility.

Overall, the largely underexplored studies onthriving competencies for engineering education populations conceal the relationships betweencompetencies that support engineering students to thrive.Consistent with the underexplored nature of thriving in undergraduate engineering studentpopulations, uniting previously disparate lines of research would offer insights into the bigpicture of engineering thriving.
