onBlack undergraduate engineering students reveal a prevalence of identity saliency, persistence,and support resources for undergraduate engineering students, but that more intentional andcreative studies were needed to understand the experiences of Black students in STEM. Researchefforts to explore the complexity of the underrepresentation of Black engineers at every levelhave resulted in a common agenda with an “ultimate goal to improve, enhance, and transformlearning and work environments” [6, p. 107].Black undergraduate engineering students encounter many challenges in their pursuit of anengineering degree. Some of these challenges include stereotype threat, a “predicament in whichmembers of certain social groups must deal with being judged
