The central objective of the project is to conduct a comparative study of the factorsaffecting the success and pathways to engineering careers of African American students at aPredominantly White Institution (PWI), the University of Toledo, and a Historically BlackUniversity (Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University). Through this research we hope togain insight into the factors affecting the social and academic well-being of students at PWIs andHBCUs from a psychological and anthropological perspective.For students from underrepresented groups in STEM at both HBCUs and PWIs it is generallyrecognized that social capital in the form of familial, peer and mentor

Students who arecurious go beyond what they need to know for the test, ask “Why?” and are better poised totransfer knowledge between courses and in their ongoing careers. This first of EM’s three C’s isalso recognized more broadly as a key attribute; for example, in “Curious” by Leslie, oncedemographic factors are accounted for, it is curiosity and conscientiousness that are correlatedwith student success [2].Closely linked to curiosity, motivation helps describe students’ intention to realize this curiosity.There are a number of lenses through which to view both curiosity and motivation.

emotionaltrajectories of undergraduate students as they progress through an engineering program?22,23Undergraduate students in the engineering program experienced emotional turbulence as a resultof their experiences throughout their undergraduate career. Emotional turbulence is a termcoined by the research team to represent the variability in activation and valence of emotionsassociated with experiences within a short period of time. For example, during their first year inan engineering program, participants experienced a set of challenges related to the high school tocollege transition, both academically and socially. These challenges resulted in a flurry ofemotions for students, as they felt encouraged and supported upon entering college and werequickly met

. Participants who had significant technical responsibilities as part of theirservice often considered engineering to be a logical next step in their career. However, veteranswith less technical responsibility in their military jobs were more attracted to engineering byfinancial opportunities and/or job security. Veteran students’ relationships with faculty and otherstudents are influenced by their age and their veteran status. While many veterans viewed age asan advantage in engineering study, some cited balancing school with the family and workresponsibilities that often come with age as a disadvantage. Veterans are more likely to tell theirprofessors than other students about their veteran status.In Year 3 (2016-2017), we conducted 62 individual

An important factor influencing students’ perceptionsabout math courses and activities is math anxiety. Richardson & Suinn6 defined math anxiety as“feelings of tension and anxiety that interfere with the manipulation of numbers and the solvingof mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic settings” (p. 551).Math anxiety is not just dislike of mathematics or lack of math knowledge, but a set of feelingsthat affect performance in math-related activities that may lead to avoidance of math courses andmath-related careers 7
