education. The presented findings emanate from the fourth phase of anextensive multiphase mixed-method research project. The project seeks to elucidate theimpediments that underrepresented students, particularly women, face in pursuing graduateengineering degrees and the potential solutions to overcome those barriers.Our methodology in this phase encompassed a comprehensive mixed-method survey, garneringresponses from over 600 undergraduate and graduate engineering students within the Faculty ofEngineering. Preliminary analyses revealed that the decision to pursue graduate studies isinfluenced by intersectional identity variables.In the sphere of engineering education, the pursuit of diversity, inclusion, and equity has longbeen recognized as

identifies as a veteran Hispanic manstudying mechanical engineering. Both participants attend separate R-1 Hispanic ServingInstitutions (HSIs). Jakobe was interviewed in the pilot phase, and Alejandro was part of theongoing, full study. These similarities and differences provide deeper insights into how post-traditional students with their multiple social identities describe, interpret, and interact with theirrelationship with education systems.4. FindingsOne of the major goals of the project is to evoke faculty’s empathetic understanding byreading/listening to students’ overlooked or hidden experiences in engineering settings. In thespirit of the project, we fully present both Jakobe's and Alejandro’s constructed narratives andinvite readers to

within science, technology, engineeringand mathematics (STEM). For HBCUs, their success in graduating Black students in STEM washighlighted along with the missed opportunity of advancing their efforts to assist the U. S. goalof staying competitive within the STEM workforce (National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine, 2019). For example, scholars found that HBCUs, while onlyaccounting for 3% of all post-secondary institutions in the United States, graduated 17% of allBlack students (Gasman & Nguyen, 2016). Additionally, as of 2019, 14.5% of Black graduateswere from HBCUs even though they made up less than 1% of all ABET-accredited programs(ABET, 2019; Deen, 2019; Fletcher et al., 2023). For Black women, a group representing

questions: 1) Do engineering students who self-characterize as neurodiverse have different: innovation self-efficacy, innovation interests, or innovative work? 2) Do these innovation attitudes differ at the end of the semester among students who participated in an open-ended activity that may impact innovation attitudes?MethodsThe study was conducted under a protocol approved by the local Institutional Review Board(IRB) for Human Subjects Research (Protocol #21-0473). This pilot study was conducted withina single engineering Water Chemistry course taught at the University of Colorado Boulder in theFall of 2022. The course is required for students majoring in environmental engineering and istypically taken in the junior year

and undergraduate mentees. Building upon the success of the pilot year ofthe program, this study formally examines the effectiveness of the GradTrack program in itssecond year.Specifically, this study aims to address two questions: A) Does the GradTrack Scholars Programprepare participating undergraduate students for graduate school? and B) Does GradTrack assistin the professional development and sense of belonging for graduate student mentors? Toevaluate these questions, this research paper uses pre- and post-event surveys and a focus groupof mentors from the 2022 GradTrack cohort. This paper will also discuss modifications madebetween the first two years of the program. The results of this assessment and ideas forimplementation across other
