When Asian Americans are disaggregated by subgroups, wesee differences in outcomes of classroom engagement [6], which could help educators addresscultural differences in the classroom. Future research should continue to include and highlightdifferences between various ethnic groups in engineering rather than assume Asian American asa singular group which most of the articles we found do.The vast majority of the 138 papers that appeared in the initial search results did not meet at leasttwo of the inclusion/exclusion criteria, despite the term “Asian American students” in eithertheir

engineering discipline [3]. This critical transition has gained particular attention in engineering education as aneffort to promote student success and retention in the discipline [4], [5]. Engineering studentsupport centers offer engagement opportunities for students that range from mentorship programsand seminars courses to living learning communities, all of which typically begin during the firstsemester of the academic year [5]–[7]. An overarching goal for these programs is to get studentsinvolved early and help them create social and academic connections with peers, upperclassmen, 1faculty, and staff at the university in an effort to improve

Of the research on part-time doctoral students, these students have been shown to be lessengaged in their studies, less satisfied with their Ph.D. experiences and viewed as less motivatedthan their full-time student peers (Gardner & Gopaul, 2012). Studies have found factors that limitthe participation of these part-time students include socialization barriers, structural constraints,negative encounters, feelings of otherness, feelings of being treated less favorably thantraditional students, longer completion time, and beliefs of not having the same opportunities astheir peers (Graham & Massyn, 2019, p.192).

An Extension Services facilitator leads teams through a series of approximately 12monthly online meetings aligned with an academic calendar. During the online meetings, CLTsbuild community with peers, share knowledge, explore ideas, and support each other’s planningand implementation. Meeting topics, which are aligned with the Undergraduate Systemic ChangeModel, provide CLTs with knowledge to conduct self-assessment, develop strategic recruitmentand retention plans, and utilize evaluation data.
