[10] organized an outreach program involving a biomimetic robotic fish toattract K-12 students toward STEM careers. The authors reported that due to engaging in theactivity, students showed an increased interest in STEM and found engineering more accessible[10]. As evident in the studies presented, the inclusion of BID within engineering can positivelyimpact students’ understanding, perceptions, and interest in engineering [10], [11], [14], [15],[16]. Therefore, developing BID-integrated curricula that engage students in multidisciplinarylearning is imperative. However, a critical factor in the effective and

For example, one student noted that: “I was able to learn from my team members how to use screwdrivers and cut wood as I have never worked with these tools before. I even took the time outside of class to get familiar with them, as they are valuable skills that I can use at home and in my career.”ConnectionsAccording to the connections rubric [11] that

An excellent example of this focus within engineeringeducation comes from a study by Jones et al. [47]. The researchers were interested in first-yearengineering differences in self-efficacy expectations, engineering success expectations,engineering identity, engineering values, achievement, and career plans between male andfemale students. An interesting finding was that males had higher expectancy beliefs, includingthose related to self-efficacy than females, but both populations saw losses in their expectancyand value beliefs over the first

majors [3]. This reflects an influence of self-efficacy on career choice. Self-efficacycan influence students at the beginning of their studies in selecting their major and at thecompletion of their studies by increasing their perceived career options [6]. Finally, self-efficacyis also associated with better mental health in students, specifically seen in reduced anxietylevels in students with higher self-efficacy [7].Clearly, the beneficial practices and traits associated with self-efficacy indicate it as a desiredcharacteristic in students. However, self-efficacy is not simply a static personal attribute thatshould be selected for in admissions processes. It is, rather, a dynamic quality, the cultivation ofwhich should be a central aim of

Students are alsosupported along their journey toward the doctorate by more readily receiving advising andmentorship from faculty who are of their same race, which matters in the mentorship andadvising of Black students. Only a few HBCUs are classified as doctoral granting institutions,yet these institutions are responsible for producing large numbers of doctoral students who mayaspire to pursue careers as academics [6].

stereotype threats, the malleability of intelligence, and self-affirmations shouldhave a powerful impact in breaking this negative cycle when implemented systematically and asearly as possible in a student’s STEM education.Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs)Participation in undergraduate research promotes confidence, motivation, and ultimately,persistence in STEM. Undergraduate research is a “high-impact practice” [25] with positiveeffects on both student persistence and learning. Large studies show that students with researchexperiences have a stronger intention to pursue a STEM career than students who do notparticipate [26], [27]. Meta-analyses with large student populations also support the conclusionthat student research

Therefore, students can alsobetter understand the job market and analyze if they will follow one career or industry basedon their experience during the undergraduate course. Because of it, this program has a highlevel of engagement since students can choose their professional path. In Brazil, there aresimilar programs called internship, research assistant, and exchange.
