stages: (a) High school(HS) and the transition to postsecondary education (PSE); (b) PSE experience and the transitionto the workplace, and (c) workplace experience. For each life stage, we have organized theinformation under the following four categories based on the elements in the Social CognitiveCareer Theory: 1. Choice goals, choice actions, and performance and attainments, which are pathways- related outcomes 2. Learning Experiences and Contextual Influences 3. Self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and interests, and other individual factors 4. Person Inputs and Background Contextual AffordancesHigh school and the Transition to Postsecondary EducationPathway-Related OutcomesLiterature shows that high school students
have described students with B+ to A+ on the U.S. grade scale or aCGPA of 3.0 out of 4 as high-achieving [22]–[27]. In the university where this study wasconducted, B+ is 3.33. Students with a minimum of 3.5 have been considered high-achieving fora scholarship or as honors students for exceptional academic performance. Also, a 3.5 and aboveis regarded as a distinction grade called cum laude and its variation. Based on this and existingstudies, we described students with a CGPA of 3.5 are high-achieving.Theoretical frameworkThe theoretical framework that guided this study is Astin’s theory of involvement, also known asthe Input-Environment-Output (I-E-O) theory [12], [28], [29]. The theory postulates that theeducational outcomes students
specifically invited to participatein the events, though all people were welcome. Invitations for the events were sent out 1-3 weeksbefore each event through graduate college newsletters and with the help of staff graduatecoordinators and student volunteers from each department. Flyers were also put up on noticeboards in the engineering buildings. Three surveys were conducted throughout the program: onejust after the first event in the series, one at the end of the Fall 2022 semester, and the last one atthe end of the Spring 2023 semester.The program targeted three categories of intervention: belonging (B), advice and support (A), andskills and opportunities (S). The belonging intervention sought to promote a feeling of belongingin the participants

Yet, few formal TA training opportunities exist to allow graduate students topractice and improve their teaching capabilities while still in graduate school. However

To complete this effort,we plan to conduct a more in-depth comparison of the curricula content and a comprehensiveevaluation of what engineering educators and engineering education researchers can use in futureresearch and practice. In future literature, we also plan to identify the pedagogical approachesemployed to teach Al in pre-college education.AcknowledgmentWe would like to acknowledge our colleagues and mentors for their support.References[1] D.

DC biasing (and activates Q1, M1 and M2). The ultimate idea of this buffercircuit, the emitter follower, is that it has a large input impedance and a small output impedance.The EE/CE students will recognize the advantages of this circuit, that it provides power andcurrent gain, and a heavy resistive load will not drop the output. While students may not have theacademic wherewithal or tools to perform layout-level electrical simulations of this circuit, theyare expected to conduct a schematic-level simulation and to break up the circuit into simplerconstituent parts to determine electrical characteristics that are pertinent to the reliability studies,as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 2: Survey response on consideration of research career by genders.54% of students considered a research career in academia, and 69% of students considered acareer in industry. As shown in Figure 2, 60% of HUG students, including cisgender women andnonbinary/trans people, considered becoming faculty members after graduation. 67% of HUGstudents were interested in working in a research position in the industry. On the other hand, only50% of cisgender men students would like to pursue a research career in academia, and 70% ofthem were interested in industry. This gender
expanded on this sentiment by stating, These classes right now are to teach us, you know, the basics of engineering. So, you know getting a B or some B’s in classes or you know a C in a class here and there or you know even having to retake a class in the grand scheme of things I don't think [grades] will have a large effect or impact on you know being an engineer in the future.While this theme was repeatedly identified throughout every participant interview, we alsoobserved participants explicitly differentiated between their identity as a student and theiridentity as an emerging engineer, which we captured in theme 2.

, said thefollowing (paraphrased): The creation of ERASe was the single most valuable piece of my college experience. For me and my peers, college is a time to learn about yourself in a way that parallels academic studies. Engineering students face intense workloads; they cannot meet their full potential without proper time and stress management resources. Problem solving and creativity are core needs when studying engineering, and a healthy mindset is necessary to succeed.Student B, one of the first student members and second president of ERASe, stated that beforeERASe, she felt very alone in struggling. “Since no one really talks about mental health and how school specifically can affect
