This finding isconsistent with the understanding that curriculum and instruction have strong impacts on retention.Students who build connections between theoretical academic aspects of the curriculum andprofessional engineering practice are more likely to be retained in engineering. Likewise, those whobuild connections with other students develop a sense of belonging and are less likely to changemajors.The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) promotes practices and strategies forretaining students in engineering7.

The main goal ofthe program was to provide young women and underrepresented minority high school studentswith a laboratory research experience and inspire them to enter college and pursue STEM degrees. Each summer, students from local high schools were selected to participate in laboratoryresearch as scholars under the supervision of a mentoring graduate student and faculty member.Each team composed of two YSs and their graduate mentor tackled problems innanomanufacturing and made significant contributions to ongoing research projects.
