Whereas the students in our previous study hadself-developed this “connecting” skill, our program provides a formal platform forlow-income students to learn and practice those connecting skills at the graduate level.This will allow us to investigate through pre- and post-surveys whether “connecting”skills can be developed through mentorship and whether developed connecting skillsenhance their self-efficacy, STEM identities, and persistence beliefs.This poster shares the results from student surveys completed at the beginning of our firstacademic year of the S-STEM program, reflecting on their undergraduate experiences.Specifically, we highlight the particular FOK held by our students as they enteredgraduate school from engineering and

A total of 71 students, including 21 studentssupported by renewable S-STEM scholarships, participated in the AcES program between 2016and 2019 in the Fundamentals of Engineering Program of the Benjamin M.
