Additionally, he says that he feelsthe need to work harder to be successful. He attributes this struggle to a lack of resources.While applying to college James considered a few different career paths but ultimately landed onengineering.

In contrast to the 200-level experience, students earlier in their academic path aremore diffuse in 100-level math, physics, and chemistry courses that also serve other STEMmajors and include no direct instruction on how course content is relevant to their career goals.Opportunities to build community around engineering are up to individual students to seek out inextra-curricular opportunities such as student clubs. This challenge is amplified for most WCCengineering students who must complete 10-20 credits of prerequisite math and physicscoursework before credits apply toward their eventual Bachelor of Science degree.Table 1 illustrates the differential

. ‘Non-persisting’ students are those leaving engineering because of the academic climate, grades, self-efficacy, high school preparation, career goals, and gender or race [20]. Moreover, students leave STEM because of a lack of belonging [3], [24], “chilly” climate [25], microaggressions [26], conflicting identities [26]–[28], and not identifying with the field [29]–[31]. This literature on student perceptions highlights how their decisions are influenced by how they see themselves as being capable. This suggests how students’ perceptions affect their decisions which can be influenced by several cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Therefore, students’ observations in school inform the actions they take, and what they see as
