Women's sense of belonging is crucialto higher education institutions, especially in highly masculinized careers such as engineering.It increases academic motivation and can influence their success in higher education.However, statistics worldwide show that the increase in the sense of belonging and, thus, inthe participation of women in STEM areas has not risen enough to reduce the gender gap. Inthe current research work, we present data collected over one semester in an EngineeringSchool at a large private university in Chile. Our main objective is to diagnose and analyzethe students' sense of belonging in social and academic areas, their self-efficacy, andperceived institutional support from a gender perspective.

to emphasize the differences between the academicand professional worlds, allowing students to be more prepared for life after graduation [21].One approach to combatting the negative impact of workplace culture is through mentorship.Professional engineer Kim Parker Brown has said that “One cannot overestimate the importanceof having someone who believes in you and is willing to act as a mentor” [9, p. 49]. Mentors canhelp a mentee transition into the professional workforce by providing guidance and alleviatingstress, especially in the beginnings of a career [10]. For women in STEM, having a mentor of thesame gender has been found to be particularly effective [8]. Hernandez [8] concluded that havinga mentor of the same gender makes it more

Chemical engineering as a major,though, teaches students a number of invaluable concepts and fundamentals that can be applied toprojects involving the life sciences and medical field.The lack of understanding of the opportunities for chemical engineers may be a reason for the lowretention rates as a major, especially for female undergraduates, as they are not exposed to theopportunities that interest them, such as biomedical applications, early enough in theirundergraduate careers.

Engineers face challenges which can result in both failure andtriumph. Studying the source of an individual’s motivation in conjunction with how theyperceive themselves as an engineer may provide long-term insight into ways in which one canpositively enhance the other. Previous work suggests that establishing a strong sense of identityin the workplace can result in greater career motivation [1]. We hypothesize that a stronger senseof engineering identity correlates with stronger academic motivation, and that ultimately onemay be used to measure the other with acceptable validity and reliability.
