identities are closely tied toengineering as a choice [3]. Performance/Competence is related to students’ self-efficacy beliefswhich have been shown to be important for identity development and engineering as a major ofchoice [24], [25]. Last, recognition refers to how others (e.g., parents, teachers, peers,instructors) view students and how this is important to engineering identity [3], [8], [26]. Theseconstructs lay the groundwork for how we position this work in progress.3. MethodologyWe approached this exploratory study from a constructivist epistemological perspective [27]using narrative inquiry [28].

The two authors possessed similar and comparable engineeringexperiences in addition to extensive interests outside of engineering. However, while RL wasoften viewed as credible and competent as an engineer by peers and faculty, KC consistentlystruggled to receive similar recognition as an engineer.

S-STEM students with varying socioeconomic status orracial backgrounds is critical so they are not at a disadvantage compared to other students.Studies have shown that a lack of cultural literacy can lead to a less meaningful mentor-menteerelationship [7]. Most S-STEM faculty mentors believe finding faculty members that can relateto diverse students (regarding economic status, race, etc.) is very important and allows studentsto feel comfortable, more relatable to their mentors, and open to getting help from their mentors.We learned S-STEM mentors perceive that transfer students lack peer-cohort experience thatnon-transfer students can build starting in their freshman year. Therefore, they believe ameaningful mentor-mentee interaction in the

communities of peers that can help each other.For first-generation students, forming communities and understanding expectations can beparticularly challenging. An estimated 15-40% of college students are first generation, definedhere as a student whose parents have not received a 4-year college degree [1]-[3]. These studentshave been shown, both nationally and in our own courses, to have an achievement gap relative totheir continuing-generation peers in terms of degree completion and continuation in engineering[4]-[5]. These students may also be disproportionately from underrepresented racial and ethnicgroups [6]. Previous research has identified several factors that impact the performance in first-generation students including a lack of cultural
(Holloway et al., 2014). The general research question addressedby this program was: could the quality of an individual’s adult mentor support network be used asan alternative indicator of potential collegiate and career success? The overall program soughtqualified students that had expressed a desire for engineering in their initial application to theuniversity, but had been offered admission into an undeclared major / exploratory studies program.Our process selected individuals that were determined to be “thickly-webbed” than their peers andhad numerous quality mentors in their lives that were encouraging them to excel in their academicpursuits (Baldwin et al., 2022). Students accepted into the program were given a modest scholarship amount that

The first-year engineering students collected the completed surveys oftheir non-engineering peers and responded to three open-ended questions related to commonalitiesand differences in understanding the ambiguous interfaces.In three cohorts’ reflections (99), nearly half attributed the variation of responses to differences inexperiences and shared understandings. Other explanations for the observed variation in responseswere disciplinary differences (23), difference of interpretation of instruction (30), and commonsense (20). The series of ambiguous

Mentoring circles provide many advantagesover traditional academic mentoring between an undergraduate student and their faculty/staffadvisor or research mentor (one-on-one mentoring structures). For example, mentoring circlesallow students to hear viewpoints from multiple mentors, while also allowing for peer to peermentoring between undergraduates in the mentoring circle. In this way, students build a multi-modal mentoring network.The tone of mentoring circle discussion is set by the initial presentation and monthly theme.Administrators provide suggested questions for mentees
to online (OL) instruction changed the natureof engineering education in profound ways. First-year engineering students enrolled in OLcourses completed team-based design projects under conditions that differed from their F2Fcounterparts in two important ways. First, OL team members worked remotely, distanced frominstructors and peers, because they were unable to collaborate in the same physical space.Second, OL team members did not have access to on-campus materials and tools.The purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to explore whether and, if so, how studentsenrolled in OL and F2F introductory engineering courses differed in the ways they engaged witha team-based design project. More specifically, the aim is to understand differences in

During the pandemic, the instructors useddifferent online modes of instructions and at times developed new online modes to fulfill thestudents’ needs by engaging them in the discussions, motivating them to diligently study, and tomaintain higher rates of retention and stronger sense of belonging. Therefore, additionalparameters that could affect the DFW rate were added to the instructor’s choice of instruction.This paper intends to explain each of

principles to the design of two engineering units for upper elementary out- of-school settings.Theoretical FrameworksYES rests in a sociocultural learning theory. That is, we consider youth in their cultural, social,linguistic, and institutional contexts. As youth interact with peers, learning communities, andmore-knowledgeable others to engage in authentic engineering work and discourse, they developdisciplinary knowledge and practices [12–14]. Engaging in engineering design activitiesincluding brainstorming, planning, constructing, testing, analyzing, and iterating affords youthopportunities to develop facility with the types of activity and discourse (speaking, gesturing,writing, representing) that constitute engineering [15, 16].

borderlands of identity from Mexican American women in Engineering and Computer Science (Work in Progress)Out of close to 2 million students enrolled in 2018, only around 2.8% of Latina students earned abachelor’s degree in science and engineering [1]. In engineering, Latino men earned 3.5 timesthe number of bachelor’s degrees in engineering as Latina women did [2] while Latina womenmake up only 2% of all computing bachelor’s degrees [3]. Previous literature on Latina studentsin engineering and computing within higher education has shown the importance of identityformation and community cultural wealth [4] [5], having a strong network of support from peers,advisors, and faculty, particularly those from the same race/ethnicity [6] - [8], and
