was conducted in Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at OregonState University. Sixteen focus groups and 6 individual interviews were conducted with enteringand soon-to-be-graduating students.Our findings reveal that students who identify along social identity categories that are centered inUS culture (e.g., white, able bodied, straight, male, access to resources…) experience a strongsense of belonging. Of this group, about half are unaware of the unearned advantages linked totheir social location, while the other half articulate an understanding of their privilege.International students and students of color generally expressed a lower sense of belonging in theunit and experiences of marginalized status.

contact hours with students and therefore the greatest opportunity to retain women inengineering. Faculty play a unique and potent role because they are the ones who construct theactivities, classroom environments, and assessments that so deeply affect students. The in-classexperience is often lacking in important but subtle ways that can drive away capable students. Mostfaculty members are unaware of how they can redesign the educational experience to enable studentsto succeed. Unfortunately, this inattention represents missed opportunities to retain more women,underrepresented minorities, and first-generation students in engineering.Modern university classroom experiences are often cold, impersonal, and demotivating.

Toattract minority students, schools with STEM programs have resorted to myriad strategies suchas cohorts, scholarships, mentoring, summer bridges, etc. Some schools have also soughtinnovative ways to develop a pipeline for graduates of two-year technical degree programs

Since these were graduate level courses and thestudents had aspirations in the field, it was important for them to really build a sense ofconnectedness that they could take beyond the class and school into their professional settings.With that in mind, the team chose a tool called VoiceThread. This tool allows students to havediscussions around media (in this case - PowerPoint slides) with questions on them.
