Furthermore, a positive linearcorrelation was found between intrinsic motivation and sense of belonging.IntroductionImplementing meaningful retention strategies is a priority for changing the current climate towardswomen in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Mentoring programshave been established to assist students in career planning, boost engagement, and improveacademic performance 1 .

This program was a pioneer and initiallydeveloped a COIL Course Orientation (CCO) of 5 weeks, introducing COIL designs and aseries of recommendations about what works and what does not in COIL [18].

(Appendix). The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection

Several of the students, as well as their engineering student mentor, wereparticularly interested in music and partnered with a thirteen-year-old girl with cerebral palsythat loves to listen to music. The girl is confined to her chair, is nonverbal, and struggles withfine motor skills. The team visited the girl and had an opportunity to interview her mother andnurse. Both expressed a desire for the girl to be able to independently control her own music ei-ther through her TV or Alexa.The team brainstormed ideas and developed an ambitious design plan (see Figure 5a) that in-volved a control unit with large assistive buttons connected to a micro-controller based MP3player and speaker that can give eight distinct

Also, no recoveryafter the end of the pandemic (in Fall 2021) is recorded for the CS3 enrollment numbers.Figure 4 summarizes Table 3 and demonstrates that COVID-19 affected the enrollment numbersfor students across all ethnicities. However, it can be observed that different ethnicities havedifferent patterns of when students of those ethnicities were affected most. We cannot explain whythe timelines of the changes in the enrollment numbers for different ethnicities vary. However, thisis an interesting phenomenon that we plan to investigate in our future work.Figure 2. Enrollment For CS1, CS2, and CS3 Courses for Men and Women: Overall Enrollment for CST and non-CST
