Each group focused on a different topic. These topics were offered as aguideline for group discussions, but often added other topics based on the specific needs andchallenges of mentees.

While student retention is a challenge in many STEM programs, it is a very criticalconcern in HBCUs. Lack of engagement of students in classrooms is identified as one of thecontributing factors to the high drop out rates in engineering programs. The study described inthis paper is a first step in an effort to introduce the brain-based learning techniques inengineering classrooms.

Although a significant amount ofresearch has been conducted in identifying these factors for the Latinx community, more researchneeds to be done for black and LGBTQ+ students. Some of the factors that have been found tohave a direct impact on student success include: • Number of credits earned by the student before transferring [12], [14], [29]: The more credits a student can transfer, the more likely they are to persist. • GPA at the community college (CC): Much literature discusses the impact known as “transfer shock” where students have a sudden and temporary drop in grades upon
