to be an important part of the life and activity of the class”. This definitionpresents SB as a unidimensional construct, which can be measured as a general SB.Alternatively, Freeman et al. [3] view SB as a multidimensional construct encompassing classbelonging, university belonging, professors’ pedagogical caring, and social acceptance,suggesting that measuring SB should be approached by asking questions that correspond to eachof these dimensions. Given the diversity of conceptual definitions of SB, it is reasonable toanticipate the presence of multiple measurement instruments for this construct. For example,Goodenow’s Psychological Sense of School Membership [PSSM] was created to measure ageneral SB, while William et al.’s Higher Education

) conveniently suggested a 3-factor model, the three factorsaligned only partially with the three dimensions of Fila et al.’s [19] engineering for, with, and aspeople framework. The first factor, which contained items focused on students’ generalengineering attitudes (i.e., sense of belonging in engineering, academic self-confidence and self-efficacy, and attitudes toward persisting and succeeding in engineering), fits well with theengineering as people dimension. This dimension takes into account that engineers areindividuals who have their own skill sets and experiences in engineering, which contributes totheir feelings of belonging because there are certain values and skills that are more acceptablethan others [31, 58]. A diminished sense of
maintaining transfer momentum - full-time student status was oneof the strongest predictors of transfer in an analysis of 2003-2009 data from community collegesacross the U.S., doubling the probability that a student will transfer to a 4-year program (LaSotaand Zumeta, 2016). While maintaining academic momentum is a factor in improving graduationrates, scholarships also allow for greater opportunity to engage in campus activities outside ofclass, increasing students’ engagement with their institution (Marra et al., 2015). Several studiesat the Community College of Baltimore County showed that targeted scholarship programs (likeNSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM))can increase the number of

This one-hour workshopincluded a basic introduction to gender identities, an overview of traditional pronouns (e.g., he,she, they) and neopronouns (e.g., ze/hir/hir(s)/hirself), discussions about the importance of usingand sharing gender pronouns, and information about how participants could share their owngender identity.

of growth mindsets than their White peers,yet they also reported lower levels of fixed mindsets [13]. Said differently, Ge et al.’s [13] cross-sectional study showed that White engineering students demonstrate a higher predispositiontowards a growth mindset and a higher predisposition towards endorsing a fixed view of theirabilities. An exploratory study aimed at understanding the relationship between students’engineering identity and mindsets longitudinally found that both a fixed and a growth mindsetwere positive predictors of identity [14]. However, the authors did acknowledge that there may bemoderating effects not considered in the model, such as course difficulty, that may also helpexplain the positive relationships [14]. The studies
