transition for Black students in engineering and that they do not have continuity at thegraduate level with regards to identifying counterspaces. This leaves students to have to identifynew spaces in real time while adjusting to the new demands of graduate school. Additionally,there is a salient theme of mental health and wellness being an area of concern for Black studentsin engineering. While counterspaces provide avenues for Black students to express their wellnessconcerns there is an opportunity for institutions to rise to the call as well. These issues will befurther explored in future work of the larger study.References[1] B. L. Yoder, "Engineering by the Numbers," American Society for Engineering Education, pp. 11-47, 2018.[2] C.D.H.

nothing seemed to be fruitful. Nothing was producing [results]. And that's when I started thinking, "Is computer science really for me or is it just a rough patch that 8 I'm going through right now?" And I was wondering, okay, let's say I change my major from computer science. What do I change it to? I've never thought about doing anything else, never thought about a plan B. What if I don't like this major? What am I going to do? That's what I'm thinking, "What am I going to do?" That was also adding to my anxiety because I didn't know-- I was anxious. I was depressed. I was sad all the time because I didn't know what was going on in my life. I didn't know

element to a successful academic career. Dawson, Bernstein, and Bekki [16] recognizedeffective mentoring as being an important component in the academic and professionaldevelopment of women and minority students. For women and minorities who matriculate inadvanced STEM fields, effective mentoring is critical to their academic and professionaldevelopment. Davidson and Foster-Johnson [17] contended that mentoring relationships, bothformal and informal, were the underpinnings of success in graduate school. They asserted thatmentoring served to (a) integrate students into a department, (b) cultivate critical professionaland social networks, (c) enable development of essential research competencies, and (d) initialjob placement post-graduation
