It will advance knowledge of Nigerian undergraduate engineering programs andtheir benefits to international engineering graduate students. Ultimately, the findings will helpinform practices within engineering programs to better support potential graduate students inmaking similar transitions and broaden the participation of African diasporic engineeringstudents in the U.S.Keywords: Black students, foreign-born, graduate students, international students, West African,engineering

, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) fields remains a global issue [1], [2]. Despiteefforts to increase diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)fields, African American women continue to be significantly underrepresented in AECprofessions [3], [4]. This disparity not only limits individual career opportunities but alsodeprives the industry of diverse perspectives and talents crucial for innovation and problem-solving in an increasingly complex world [1]. To address this challenge, targeted interventionsthat focus on early exposure and engagement are essential. The formative middle school yearsrepresent a critical period for shaping career interests and aspirations, particularly for youngwomen [5], [6]. It is during this

According to a systematic review in PLOSONE, using game-based learning strategies helps in making health education more interactiveand enjoyable, leading to better adherence to healthy lifestyle practices. This method leveragesadolescents' familiarity with technology to reinforce positive health behaviors, including makinginformed dietary choices [17].By combining data analytics with innovative educational strategies, we can develop targetedinterventions that equip adolescents with the knowledge and skills to critically assess food labelsand make healthier

The engineering profession, especially, needs better representationto ensure that the solutions it develops are responsive to the diverse needs and interests of thepeople it serves [1]. In other words, the profession needs diverse talent. To the extent the way wechoose to assess weeds out students not based on their capabilities, but based on their experienceof the assessment, the profession loses talent it needs to support innovation. The topic of‘diversity’ is also increasingly relevant and has become ever more difficult to address givenrecent rulings to end affirmative action. The importance of diversity in the profession and thecurrent climate around the term ‘diversity’ further highlight the need to bolster the

define andcharacterize this skill. This contribution is paramount, as our study represents one of the first toexplore data proficiency definitions beyond the realm of computer science and softwareengineering students. By expanding the discussion to MAE students, we paint a morecomprehensive picture of how various disciplines perceive and approach this critical skill. Bydelving into the characteristics associated with someone considered data proficient, this study goesfurther. We uncover the qualities that MAE students value in individuals with strong data skills.A second notable contribution of this study is the innovative application of the HPL framework.While it is typically utilized to assess and develop learner-centered environments, this
