This study wasconducted at a public research institution and Hispanic serving institution (HSI) in theSoutheastern US region. The study included hiring UTAs and recruiting faculty to participate inthe project. During this process, the faculty and coordinator were focused on UTAs beingapproachable, patient, and willing to engage in a diverse learning community.

important for student retention at all stages of theiracademic journey, having an engineering identity or seeing oneself as an engineer also greatlyinfluence student retention. In chemical engineering, women tend to show a high sense ofbelonging in the discipline, however, the engineering identity of women compared to men is stilllow [10]. Community-oriented approaches have shown success in contributing to factors that aidin student retention. One study found that meetings with faculty, peer support groups, andleadership opportunities resulted in higher academic performance and enhanced retention ofunderrepresented students in electrical and computer engineering departments [11].

The program encouraged me to explore the field, introduced me to a diverse range of interesting problems, and anchored me in the department with a community of friends and mentors.

It has been evident that student’s involvement in community service enhances their sense of belonging and ultimately their academic success [3, 2]. Students engage in community services through clubs, university- wide events and specific courses in the university curriculum or major courses. It is part of the extracurricular day-to-day activities they are involved in.

Additionally, another systematic review of women's engagement experiences inSTEM fields revealed that these experiences in engineering are influenced by personalcharacteristics such as self-efficacy, motivation, and passion, as well as the practices of malecolleagues, parents, and human resources [21]. Furthermore, Baytiyeh [22] found that womenengineers often struggle with communication, self-confidence, and creativity.

Achieving a critical massof women in these fields could pave the way for greater representation in both educationalinstitutions and industry and alleviate critical upcoming labor shortages. This, in turn, mighthelp mitigate or eliminate obstacles linked to stereotypes, stereotype threat, and a sense ofbelonging. Stereotyping is a perception that certain groups of individuals possess lesser academicability, a notion that can significantly impact their engagement in educational pursuits.

Self-efficacy is known todevelop through repeated successes, where the negative impact of failures is diminished by thesesuccesses [18], [28] - [30]. Studies comparing the self-efficacy of females and males found that,females are more likely to derive self-efficacy from verbal reinforcement, strong social networks,mentors, and other positive social influences, whereas males have been shown to derive self-efficacy through the mastery of a task [14].

In the wider STEM scholarship, scholars have demonstrated the impact of religious identityon students’ overall college experience, including the ability to see connections between religiousidentities and their STEM identities (e.g., Rodriguez et al., 2018).Within engineering, foundational research in this space found that college students use religion as a lensto understand their other identity dimensions (Cross, 2016). Religion has also been used as a copingmechanism and a way to connect with others within engineering (Cross, 2016).

difference may be due to inexperience with the bureaucratic and socialstructures of higher education, as well as the lack of familial support resulting from limitedinteractions with such institutions [13]. Furthermore, the prevalence of low socioeconomicand/or first-generation college student status may impact academic expectations, with URMstudents often demonstrating greater resiliency (and subsequently, more stable self-efficacy) dueto a stronger commitment from their families and communities [4].
