The Administrator of the SouthGeneral IRB from the UCLA Office of the Human Research Protection Program informed mevia email on March 23, 2022 that formal review for this proposed work was not necessary.As mentioned above, this work was meant to be an exploration and a spotlight; it was not led byspecific research questions. The main purpose was to highlight the history and evolution of SE3through review of materials and conversations with SE3 leaders. Because of this, codes were notdeveloped prior to review of the data but were emergent and intuitive. Internal validity orcredibility [2] was achieved not through triangulation in terms of peer examination, but throughmember checks. I shared a draft write-up with

Belonging and engagement are associatedwith one another, working hand in hand to improve student retention by helping students feelinterpersonally connected and supported by other students, faculty, and staff [3]. This comes byhaving available formal and informal interaction between all of these parties.Capacity is the possession of the necessary skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a givenfield, as well as the recognition that continuous learning and improvement is necessary [1].Within IE, curriculum is developed on the basis of a “three-legged

Little research has focused on outcomes of engineering clubsand differences in student outcomes for specific categories of engineering clubs. This study seeksto build on current work on extracurricular participation by focusing on engineering design clubsand student perceptions of these activities. 2.

Organizations in Higher Education through a Critical LensAbstractIn this critical theory review paper, the researcher seeks to 1) reveal the current landscape of theresearch literature on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM)mentorship that occurs within student organizations at institutions of higher education, 2)determine if the mentorship described in these articles exemplify critical mentorship as defined inthe literature, and 3) determine if the addition of critical mentorship components adds value,defined here as a synergistic effect, for STEMM students who serve as mentors or mentees throughtheir student organizations. As the intersection of STEMM mentorship and student organizationsat institutions

According to a study of community colleges inCalifornia, only one in four students wanting to transfer or earn a degree/certificate did so withinsix years.1 The completion rates for African American and Hispanic students are even lower,with only 15% of African American students and 18% of Latino students completing a degree orcertificate within six years, compared to 27% of Caucasian students, and 33% of Asian students.For Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, lower success and retentionrates for minority students are observed at both community college and university levelsresulting in underrepresentation of minority groups in these professions.

The U.S. economy added 150,000 technology-related jobs in 2006 alone. However, according to the Computing Research Association2,between Fall 2000 and Fall 2005, newly declared Computer Science (CS) majors have declinednearly 70 percent. Furthermore, Cohoon and Chen3 reported that the attrition rate amongcomputer science majors is on the rise at
