related to the outcomes of fluency and elaboration, but not reflection.IntroductionOne of the most timely and pressing goals of promoting early STEM education is to createeducational experiences that will both broaden enduring participation in the study of STEMtopics [1] and that will establish a long-term learning framework to encourage students to trainfor important STEM careers [2]. In the field of engineering education, this idea is bound up inmetaphors like those of “the pipeline”, “the ecosystem”, and “the pathways” [3,4], all of whichinclude a multitude of diverse trajectories in the course of study and skill development wherebystudents can access their opportunities to become expert engineers [5].There are many ways in which pre-college

Further, the survey instrumentwas not fully validated using rigorous methods [39, 44]. The majority of the survey respondentshad not worked very long as engineers after graduation. Those interviewed represented a broadrange of different career lengths post-graduation.

Considering the compelling aspect of inclusion thatpromotes acceptance of people with all their uniqueness [18], we argue engineering cultures thatdo not allow students to bring their whole selves are fundamentally at odds with the idea ofcreating an inclusive environment.A student's well-being depends on a wide range of experiences, including many beyond thebounds of the classroom, such as career prospects, living conditions, financial stability, academicpreparation, social connections, and mentor relationships.
