students assigned no mentor. A survey was sent out at threepoints throughout the year to monitor the students’ experiences and a fourth survey was sent oneyear after the program ended. The survey measured self-efficacy, feelings of threat andchallenge, and career goals. College transcripts also were collected to monitor students gradesand retention information. The study concluded same-gender peer mentoring increasesconfidence, motivation, and retention for women in engineering. Pairing a female student with afemale mentor had a greater impact with 100% retention than pairing a female student with amale mentor with 82% retention. However, there was no indication that the mentoring programincreased average GPA’s. Although there is limited

. ‘Non-persisting’ students are those leaving engineering because of the academic climate, grades, self-efficacy, high school preparation, career goals, and gender or race [20]. Moreover, students leave STEM because of a lack of belonging [3], [24], “chilly” climate [25], microaggressions [26], conflicting identities [26]–[28], and not identifying with the field [29]–[31]. This literature on student perceptions highlights how their decisions are influenced by how they see themselves as being capable. This suggests how students’ perceptions affect their decisions which can be influenced by several cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Therefore, students’ observations in school inform the actions they take, and what they see as

Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) is a self-report instrumentdesigned to assess college students’ motivational orientation and their use of different learningstrategies for a college course. According to [14], the instrument is a measure of student self-efficacy, intrinsic value, test anxiety, self-regulation, and use of learning strategies. Constructsfrom this survey center on measures of the types of learning strategies and academic motivationused by college students. This instrument uses 44-items with a 7-point likert-type scale withstatements focused on student motivation, cognitive strategy use, metacognitive strategy use, andmanagement of effort. Additionally, a number of researchers have also utilized the MSLQ toexamine whether there is a

Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hsu’s research interests include advanced quantitative design and analysis and their applications in STEM education, large-scale assessment data (e.g., PISA), and engineering students’ perception of faculty en- couragement and mentoring.Dr. Yanfen Li, University of Massachusetts Lowell Yanfen Li is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

[17], women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) prioritizework prestige in their career choices, regardless of whether they work for a public or privatecompany. This preference for work prestige may challenge women who value balancing theirprofessional and personal goals, as it could limit their career opportunities [17]. Researchers have identified several factors and challenges that affect women's entry,persistence, or departure from STEM fields. For instance, one study found that these factorsincluded the relationship between self-efficacy and competence, religious and personal
