detail in Appendix A. Given the diverse socio-demographicbackground of the students in the mentoring program, their perceptions of how culturalbackground influences their relationship with their faculty and peer mentors will be addressed aswell (see Section 3 in Table 1). Lastly, students will be asked to provide an overall assessment oftheir mentoring experiences with both their peer and faculty mentors (see Section 4 in Table 1).As indicated in Table 1 (see Column 1: Item Focus), the majority of measures will be used toassess both faculty and peer mentoring experiences with the exception of a few measures thataim to assess aspects specific to the faculty or peer mentor relationship.Table 1.

Future research should incorporate other methodologies toexplore what causes such decreases in women undergraduates’ engineering identity. Aqualitative analysis could include female undergraduates to have more information and betterunderstanding of how their engineering identity is shaped in an inclusive curriculum.References[1] “The State of U.S. Science and Engineering 2020 | NSF - National Science Foundation.” https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb20201/u-s-s-e-workforce (accessed Feb. 15, 2021).[2] G.

success, where a team cannot experience overall success unless each individualmember on the team experiences success. We expand upon this concept by making explicit therelationship between facilitating individual success and valuing each team member, where astudent can experience more success when s/he is valued. Arguably, creating opportunities forstudents to engage in robust teamwork can be facilitated when educators increase students’awareness about the benefits of valuing all team members, a construct that is often implied butnot explicitly discussed in teamwork literature.Creating an environment free of discrimination and bias is the second construct we address in theInclusive Behaviors scale.

Short-term plans include continuing the cohort program for subsequent years. In addition,as an extension to the program, plans are underway to embed it in the university curriculum inthe COE through the creation of a class based on the existing model.
