are eager toanalyze the preliminary results for the continuous improvement of the project. It is noted that PIswere able to have three scholars accepted for participating in the AAAS S-STEM ScholarsMeeting that was held on September 14-16, 2023, in Washington, DC. In the following, some ofthe activities implemented in this project along with the lessons learned are described:Recruitment. PIs examined different recruitment strategies and learned important lessons:• The full-time enrollment requirement was changed to a minimum of 8 credit hours per semester to allow students more flexibility as most of them already have other work and familial responsivities.• The minimum number of credit hours to transfer at the time of application was

By continuing ourongoing study, we hope to gain a better understanding of patterns between students’ identity andtheir engagement within capstone design and improve student’s experiences within capstonedesign courses.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported through funding by the National Science Foundation (Awards No.2138019 and No. 2138106).
