important role in the success of our studentsin their future careers with blurred lines in diverse teams, and numerous studies show that it is askill that cannot be taught, rather developed through experiential learning in a curriculum thatvertically integrates problem-solving [16].Another challenge introduced by Industry 5.0 is that instead of designing a full discipline-specific product, engineers are increasingly acting as system integrators; therefore, engineersmust possess the ability to quickly learn and adapt material from other STEM and non-STEMfields. Industry 5.0 projects are complex, multidimensional, and fast-evolving, requiring criticalthinking and problem-solving abilities from engineers beyond their STEM foundation. Theengineers of

Engagement with College Student MentorsAbstractResearch on gender differences in career interests has found that by adolescence, girls arereported to be less interested in science and engineering than boys. The leaky pipeline is apopular simplified metaphor to describe the reasons for the observed gender disparity, slowlyremoving potential candidates from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)as they age through the academic system. Although numerous formal and informal programshave been developed to “plug” this leak with role models, what is not well understood is thepotential role models’ effect on student’s STEM attitudes over time. To address this limitation, along-term continuous mentoring and tutoring program was developed

However, differences in both technical and non-technical courserequirements may produce a “transfer shock”, resulting in lower grades during the first semester[4]. If transfer shock persists, it can lead to academic disengagement through a questioning ofcompetence for one’s chosen major program or career path as a result of receiving poor grades[16].Two-year transfer students had attended a two-year institution prior to transfer, while four-yeartransfer students had attended a four-year institution.

A more recent survey of 1,182 undergraduate students in Englandshowed that 68.1% of students took jobs due to the need of “pay for social, leisure or luxuries”,while the needs for “career related experience” and “degree related experience” counted for only15.6% and 8.9%, respectively [8].

quantitative study, Espinosa8 looked at the effects of pre-collegiate activities,experiences in college, and institutional setting on the persistence of females (N=1385) incollegiate STEM majors. Espinosa’s8 research revealed that females were more likely to enrollin and persist through collegiate STEM programs if they had the opportunity to engage with theirpeers and participate in STEM-related student organizations, and if they were made aware ofaltruistic career opportunities. The findings from the study called for developing cohort STEMprograms that provide female students with a greater sense of community, increasing the numberof student organizations related to STEM fields (e.g., Society of Women Engineers), andproviding female students with
