-KubiAbstractGraduate programs in Engineering Management typically require students to complete a set of corecourses to ensure they have the necessary academic background and foundational knowledge for successin the program. These core courses often include probability, statistics, mathematics, and operationsresearch, tailored to the focus and specialty of the engineering management program. However, manyfirst-year graduate students face challenges in keeping up with these core courses, which can significantlyimpact their consequent academic success and, ultimately, their professional careers. This study aims toinvestigate the relationship between graduate students' performance in their first engineering managementcourse and their overall academic success

These programs offer students an interdisciplinaryexperience that fosters collaboration with professionals and researchers, directly linking academicknowledge to real-world applications. The research indicates that VIP students were not only moreengaged in their studies but also better equipped to transition into careers after graduation. Furthermore,by working on

[2] both discuss how these factors continue to contribute to theunderrepresentation of women and people of color in the STEM industry. This is attributed to the“leaky pipeline” phenomenon where women lose interest in engineering as their careerprogresses due to continuous barriers such discrimination, inequitable resources andopportunities [2]. This further contributes to the loss of interest in STEM as young women andpeople of color achieve new milestones in their careers.
