’ STEM degrees.BackgroundIn 2017, researchers from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) sought to understand thesuccess rates of students who began their postsecondary education at a community college inpersisting and completing bachelor’s degrees in engineering and technology. Their hypothesiswas that community college women were moving out of these majors at higher rates than theirmale counterparts, a phenomenon that has historically been seen in four-year STEM programs[1]. With community colleges serving as a popular pathway for underrepresented students inSTEM, efforts to increase diversity in engineering and technology professions must considerways to increase success of students who begin their studies at a two-year college. Given
