Individual, group, institutional, and societal factors playan essential role in maintaining the gap in women's college attainment, particularly inengineering. According to the National Girls Collaborative Project [1], young women havesimilar abilities in mathematics and sciences but differ in their confidence, interest, andbelongingness to science-related fields, compared to young men. Historically, engineering hasbeen framed and perceived as a male-dominated discipline, emphasizing traits

engineeringhas increased from 18% to 21% [2], [3]. This 3% growth over a nearly two-decade period isindicative of larger social issues among institutions regarding women and other marginalizedstudents [4]. This observed lack of women and racial minority representation in STEM degreeattainment ultimately impacts representation in professional fields, which could lead to increasedgender and racial labor market inequality [4]. Minority retention research in engineeringeducation spaces is conducted to increase STEM graduation rates, which could be used as a toolin socioeconomic mobility for minority members [5].

One participant stated, “We wouldhave like after every week on Sunday, we would have these little Python activities we had to dothat were like two lines long. But then we would have projects that were like 80 lines of code. Itwas just a lot”. Finally, the professors and their behaviors played a role as well.
