revealed that students developed a considerable degree of spatialthinking throughout the course of the semester when compared with undergraduate students inother disciplines [8]. Similar to its relationship with undergraduate academic success, spatialability is a profitable asset for professionals engaged in STEM careers [7], [9]. Research hasfound that spatial ability can be learned through targeted interventions, exposure to spatiallanguage, and participation in spatial activities [10], [11]. Furthermore, once learned, spatialability is malleable and can be maintained and developed over time [12]. This is particularlypromising in the context of developing targeted interventions aimed at fostering spatial ability.Of particular interest to the

I know there were large groups ofstudents at my school who were not explicitly encouraged to dream about longer termeducational pursuits and careers. Looking back at these experiences have made me seek outopportunities to try to improve college access, especially for students who, for whatever reason,are not encouraged to consider how their unique skills and experiences might align well withfuture engineering and technical careers.

In practice, students often complete the Immersion later in their careers, after theyhave taken another seminar and/or other components. The metaphor of immersion is consciouslychosen: the idea is for a student to allow themselves to absorb an experience in 360 degrees, totake it in, and to begin to process it, but with an emphasis on observation.

The goals of the courses are as follows: 1. The courses will have prerequisites that can be typically met in the freshman year. This will make our courses accessible to students with more diverse backgrounds earlier in their college careers, which will help with inclusion and retention of students

This weighing aims toreduce the importance that a single selection test may have and so provide opportunities tounderrepresented groups in higher education. However, this system has been widely criticizedfor not fulfilling its central aim and worse still in that it increases discrimination against studentswho come from less favored sectors. In Engineering degrees in particular, the SUA calculates thescores by assigning different weights to the ranking, which may vary from 10% to 40%depending on the engineering career considered.This present study seeks to analyze the different sources of information that the SUA systemuses to determine the correlation that

These intentional spaces empower theirparticipants to enact change [4], impact participants’ subsequent careers [7] and lead to thediffusion of a movement praxis across generations [5]. However, this literature has so faroverlooked the resource mobilization processes through which participants build the capacity forchange-making.

They write: “Students in entrepreneurship educationshowed an overall statistically significant increase in entrepreneurial mindset, specifically incommunication and collaboration, opportunity recognition, and critical thinking and problem-solving.

Students were invited to have cookies and coffee while they learned about the trials and tribulations of navigating academia as a woman. This was an opportunity for graduate students to visualize their own careers as future academics and scientists. Attendees also received engineering seminar credit for the event.

Many of the traditional constructs are acute or snapshots of whatbelonging is at that moment in time. But what became clear through the interviews was thatmany of these students felt they belonged long before beginning their higher education journey,even though they had just begun their engineering career. This was especially prevalent in thetraditional engineering students, i.e. (white males) and was clearly contrasted when looking atthose traditionally minoritized.

internationally, STEM majors experience more attrition and longer times tograduate than other majors. The high rate of attrition has been documented from a public policystandpoint at various universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and SouthAfrica [1]. The cost of attrition is significant. Students who attrite are personally burdened by thecost of a partial education when the costs of college are rising [2] and by the loss of income froma lucrative STEM career. Socially, attrition of STEM majors reduces the size of the workforce ata time of high demand for skilled college graduates [3].
