Bego et al. [3]showed that engineering students who complete the required sequence of four mathematicscourses had a 93% graduation rate and Galbraith et al. [4] showed that the likelihood ofgraduation increased with the higher the math class in which the student was initially enrolled.Bressoud [5] cautioned that success with calculus in high school does not necessarily guaranteesuccess in college. Successful college students must also be able to think critically, learn on theirown and use techniques for critical analysis of problems. Pembridge and

in the findings, faculty—especially those in early career stages—often facecompeting pressures related to tenure and promotion, with institutional reward structuresprivileging disciplinary research and grant acquisition over teaching innovations. Embeddingresearch in teaching could serve as a bridge between these demands, offering a way to makeconvergence education more legible and valuable within prevailing academic structures. Moreover, this dual focus on teaching and research may offer a pathway to navigate someof the institutional misalignments identified in transdisciplinary course development —such asscheduling constraints, faculty availability, and difficulty fitting new courses into existing plans ofstudy.

Self-Efficacy pertains to the brief to accomplish goals,and research links this to the students’ science achievement [10]. Science identity and self-efficacy can have a direct impact on student retention and success within STEM, and there islittle literature that studies the impact of SI on students’ science identity and self-efficacy.Impact of SIs on struggling vs top studentsPrevious research has related SI’s effectiveness by the increasing of Grade Point Average (GPA)of students in STEM programs [12].

that industrycertification would increase willed effort more than the open-ended project. It was reasoned thatthe open-ended project was more likely to engage students’ creativity and autonomy, which hasbeen found to correlate with intrinsic motivation [9]. Conversely, it was expected that industrycertification would have led to greater increases in willed effort level, as this goal was less open-ended, but more directly tied to potential career advancement. This meant that it could be viewedmore readily as a means to an end, which is more associated with extrinsic motivation [9], [10].However, neither of these outcomes were supported by the results of this study.

Mentors who exhibit high emotionalintelligence are more successful in helping students build professional networks, navigateinstitutional politics, and develop the soft skills necessary for career success [12], [13].Furthermore, these mentors are better positioned to support students from diverse backgrounds,as they can recognize and respond to cultural differences and individual needs more effectively.

changed. Engineering education has been affected by thesestrategies in a myriad of ways. One of the ways is known as the “weed out” strategy. This can beseen at the collegiate and secondary levels of education. For instance, the “weed-out” strategy inengineering can be enacted when students and teachers organize classroom activities asopportunities to stratify students and identify who is “cut out for” engineering [29]. Inadequateexposure to STEM subjects may contribute to students being academically underprepared, andfewer experiences with STEM content may also lead to students being less interested in pursuinga STEM major and career [6].
