identity and create afeeling of authenticity in the field.Introduction and Literature ReviewThe benefits of engineering internships to students have been well established in literature [6],[7]. Internships provide opportunities for professional development (such as the improvement oftechnical and communication skills) as well as a look into what a career in engineering entails[8], [9], [10]. Literature has also established the positive influence of quality mentorship onstudents and how these relationships can help retain students in their respective fields [11], [12].It has also been found that internships can impact the persistence of underrepresented groups inengineering [13], [14]. Engineering workplace cultures are frequently male dominated

Social ConsciousnessThe social consciousness component involves scholars with service-learning and K-12 outreachprograms to better prepare our students to be contributing citizens locally, nationally, and/orglobally. Many students enter college wanting to pursue a career to serve others and seeengineering careers as altruistic in nature [6]. To develop and deepen scholars’ social awarenessand demonstrate motivation to bring technical engineering experiences to bear on societalproblems, each scholar takes advantage of opportunities provided by service learningorganizations.

Team-based discussions were included in theactivity as an equitable and inclusive way to promote student learning [37,38]. After thesesummaries, instructors prompted the entire group with questions relating directly to the results oftheir activity (e.g., Which adhesive was stronger? Why?) and more open-ended questions thatchallenged students to think about real-world applications of bioadhesives. After the guideddiscussion, students were encouraged to ask any questions they had about the activity,bioadhesives, and careers in STEM.

Math self-efficacy refers to one’s specific beliefs aboutunderstanding math concepts and applying related skills [13]. For engineering students, mathself-efficacy is important because it may impact general engineering self-efficacy and in turnretention and performance [14-16]. The Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire(MSEAQ) is one instrument available for quantifying math self-efficacy.

The “academics” code wasused to label any struggles related to coursework, such as low grades, dropping courses, or poorstudy habits.

IntroductionThe engineering education community recognizes the lack of diversity in the field and is activelyworking to break down barriers that inhibit the participation of women and minoritized racial andethnic groups in engineering education and engineering careers. Despite these ongoing efforts,engineering enrollment is below optimal levels and there continues to be an overall lack ofwomen and students from minoritized racial and ethnic groups within engineering fields (Daviset al., 2012).

IntroductionThe typical engineer spends the majority of his or her career either in a team or in managementand leadership roles1. Even entry-level engineers are expected to function well as team membersand exercise leadership as appropriate to a role. One can therefore consider the practice ofengineering as a triad composed of technical competence, management, and leadership with noclear dividing line2.
