All of these components areconsidered critical to supporting STEM persistence [19], [20].Another way to support increased diversity through STEM is by increasing the number ofsuccessful transfer student pathways [21]. However, transfer students face a number of uniquechallenges on their paths to earning bachelor’s degrees, such as academic credit loss and excesscredit accumulation, discordant experiences of institutional culture, and fewer opportunities toreceive scholarships, since many scholarships are awarded to first-time freshmen [22]-[ 25].This research reports on the efforts of the STEM Career Opportunities in Nebraska: Networks,Experiential-learning, and Computational Thinking

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

Mostapproaches to increasing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) enrollment ingeneral – and computer science enrollment in particular – focus on secondary or even primaryschool students or underclass college students. NECST, however, looks to interest undergraduatesclose to graduation, recent alumni, or returning students from any discipline in graduate study incomputer science. These interests are motivated as a change in career direction, or equally often as ameans to acquire skills, concepts, and frameworks that complement their original discipline or careerplans [4].

This active researchfocuses on diagnosing and mitigating the invisible barriers in Physics 11 that preclude youngwomen from continuing their studies in physics to the 12th grade and beyond. Three identifiedfactors for the persisting gender gap in physics follow. The first factor is rooted in stereotypicalbeliefs about engineering as a gendered career. The second factor arises from student beliefs thatthere is little new to discover in physics. The third factor relates to an inability to visualize howphysics

Prior work has utilized metrics such as High School GPAand SAT math scores to understand graduation rates (e.g., [7], [8]). We move away from usingthese metrics of success for three reasons: 1) first-generation college students tend to have morediverse pathways than continuing-generation college students, that is, a high percentage may havepassed through community college before transferring to a four-year institution [9], [10]; 2) wesought to capture students beliefs about their abilities to succeed

Studies have shown that a strong predictorof students enrolling in engineering college majors and pursuing an engineering career is studentinterest in engineering at the K-12 level [2, 3]. In addition, it has been shown that a critical timewhere student interest, identity, and career choices begin to solidify is during middle schoolyears [4, 5] and hence should be the population on which studies should focus.
