EducationAbstract—Women and minortized groups share a common sense of belonging or, moreaccurately, lack of a sense of belonging in STEM, which exacerbates their underrepresentation inSTEM education and careers. Furthermore, an abundance of literature demonstrates that thisshared lack of belonging negatively influences their academic performance and persistence. Inengineering education specifically, research indicates that a lack of belonging contributes toundergraduate student attrition regardless of gender and race/ethnicity.Therefore, we proposed a project entitled “Promoviendo el Éxito Estudiantil a través de unSistema de Apoyo (PromESA): Promoting Student Success through a Social, Academic, andInstitutional Support System in Engineering Education

Current understanding of innovation involves notonly outcomes and individual characteristics, but the environments that support innovativeoutcomes10–12, and more prominently, the processes that innovators13,14 and innovative teamsorganizations15 utilize. In this study, we investigate the breadth of student understanding ofinnovation processes. More specifically, we ask: 1. To what extent do engineering students acknowledge unique phases of innovation as part of their personal innovation processes? 2. To what extent do engineering students acknowledge
