These populations of studentsare likely to have low social capital or pre-existing networks in areas that would support theircollege experience [1]. Therefore, the peer and faculty mentoring and cross-cohort socializationhave been integrated into the program as ways to help expand the social capital of students whomay need it.Social Capital is the availability, accessibility, and activation of resources via social relationshipsaccording to Lin [1].

Unconscious bias (or implicit bias) can be defined as “a prejudice in favor of or againstone thing, person, or group compared with another usually in a way that’s considered to beunfair. Biases may be held by an individual, group, or institution and can have negative orpositive consequences” [2]. Unconscious bias is pervasive and affects our decisions, even whenwe think we are operating objectively.

deeply in graduate education,interdisciplinary learning has not been highly reflected or cultivated in engineering educationcurricula [1]. This lack of acknowledgment may be attributed to the historical exclusion ofinterdisciplinary ways of being and thinking across the disciplines, which also limits how studentssee themselves as engineers. Historical perspectives within engineering education include thosethat “institutionalize cultural and epistemic injustice” by excluding views that deviate from thedominant ways of thinking in engineering [2, p. 4]. Riley and Lambrinidou [2] expressed how thisapproach to educating engineers may result in engineers who do not feel they fit into the mold ofa stereotypical engineer, which emphasizes technical

Despite such staggering statistics,researchers have just begun to focus on education at the graduate level in response to a call fromthe National Academies for educational change, particularly in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics [3].
