He didn’t want her to take that time away from studying, because he was focused on helping her earn a college degree to ensure a steady income and stability later. 4. First This is the first trial encountered She resisted joining engineering and even cried. Finally, she agreed to Threshold by the student. Typically, there is join the engineering course even though she had no interest in the an awareness that the first subject or its foundational topics. She was afraid of her father’s threshold will be a challenge
the ability to create connections between courseworkand real-world applications, the ability to communicate the value that the coursework provides,and their curiosity regarding unanswered questions in the field. While these results wereencouraging, entrepreneurship and engineering, in general, is a particularly discrimination-richlandscape due to a historic bias for White and Asian men. Historically marginalized minorities(HRMs), including women and first-generation college students, are underserved in upper-leveleducation systems. Consequently, it is necessary to investigate the impact of the coursework onHRM groups to generate curricula that encourage and maintain diversity in engineering. We distributed an EML project containing
the scales at their default value, except for race and genderwhere they changed the scale to +2 to not outnumber minority students in a group. Depending on thestudent population in each class, sometimes we end up with teams of only two students.The course topics are divided into two main categories: Engineering Analysis using Excel andIntroduction to Design and Entrepreneurship (DE). For the DE part, students learn about the designprocess, and they apply it on a semester-long project related to sustainability, where they need to comeup with a design and make a prototype for it that tackles the sustainability-related problems around thecampus. The data collected for this study is drawn from the DE part, where students work in their

Having someone to consistently look to for help, willhelp me organize my life and not feel super in the dark and overwhelmed with difficult classes andsummer responsibilities.”“I want to learn about other girls experiences and tips to succeed in the engineering field as awoman.”Outlook. This research is still in its infancy, so rubrics and coding are being developed to supportquantitative and qualitative assessments. The impact of the mentoring structure and program willbe analyzed in year two after a second cohort of students has

engineering before, during, and after theCOVID-19 pandemic.ESTEEM ProgramThe Enhanced Support in Technology Entrepreneurship for Engineering Majors (ESTEEM 1)and Enhancing Success in Transfer Education for Engineering Majors (ESTEEM 2) programsled by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) were funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) through the Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (S-STEM) Program. ESTEEM 1 (2011-2016) emphasized technologyentrepreneurship support for first-generation undergraduate engineering majors already at UCSB,while ESTEEM 2 (2016-present) emphasizes transitions in engineering that included bothundergraduate engineering majors and transfer students from four community college

persist inengineering develop “solidarity” with other students studying engineering; for engineeringpersisters, identification becomes a “compass” that guides them through engineering, even moreso than either disciplinary knowledge or navigation [33]. An engineering student’s grit, ascaptured by both their consistency of interest and persistence of effort in engineering can bedirectly influenced by the strength of their engineering identity and the depth of their feeling ofbelonging [34].Engineering-specific on-campus residential programs (e.g., living learning communities) buildout-of-class experiences to strengthen engineering identity and persistence in engineering [14].Co-curricular experiences, like service learning projects [16
