: OtherIntroductionEfforts to increase STEM career interests have often focused on high school youth. However,middle school is a critical juncture during which many students begin to seriously considercareer options. Attitudes about self and work developed during this period form the foundationalbelief system from which students set career goals and choose high school courses andactivities1. The method by which STEM activities are presented during middle school can have aprofound impact on students’ motivation and interest to pursue careers in STEM related fields2,3.Pre-college STEM education efforts have not been evenly distributed across the four subjectsrepresented by the STEM acronym. While math and science are core middle and high schoolsubject areas
a responsive approachinvolves the implementation of inclusive practices and fostering a space that values diversityand actively challenges and dismantles stereotypes and biases within the field [1].Moreover,“innovations that respond to both global and local community needs are enhanced by diverseand well-prepared academic learners [2].” Such programs acknowledge the importance of skillenhancement, mentorship, and networking to promote women's career advancement indisciplines such as engineering [3].Specifically, leadership within academia entails navigating gender biases and structuralinequalities extending beyond managerial abilities [4].Research shows that leadership programsthat tap into high-impact practices that garnish specific sets

Perceived Barriers to Engineering Education: Exploring the feminist influences on curriculum in British Columbia and on the career choices of women with high school physics creditAbstractThe population of engineers is insufficient to meet long-term demand; although immigration isboosting the numbers and adding diversity to the mix, women are still severely underrepresented1,2 . The recruitment of women into these programs is a clear opportunity to meet industrydemand for engineers. Young women occupy an increasing percentage of the seats in highschool physics classrooms 3,4.

undergraduate students from different backgrounds (i.e., Black, Latinx, andIndigenous). For example, Strayhorn et al. [7] and Tolbert Smith [15] found that Black studentsare subjected to looks and messaging that suggest they will not succeed in engineering and otherSTEM-related careers. Similarly, McGee [8] found that Black men students were oftenstereotyped as being more suited for careers outside of STEM and their success in STEMcoursework was attributed to them either being extremely intelligent or garnered throughcheating, which hindered some students’ ability to develop an affinity for their STEM discipline.Similarly, Black and Latinx students have reported feelings of isolation and loneliness which canalso negatively impact their academic

The online setting can seamlessly connect undergraduate students across the country withmentors, and the GradTrack program was initially started in 2021 during the COVID-19pandemic. Virtual mentoring has also been shown to increase sense of community, STEMachievement, career self-efficacy, and drive to persist in mentors and mentees [10].The GradTrack mentoring structure is a scalable group and peer mentoring model, with 2graduate student mentors from Purdue with 5-7 URM undergraduate student mentees fromacross the United States and Puerto Rico joined in a mentoring circle.

do what on campus whenthey need things. One way to remedy this as identified by a dean, was for better onboarding processes. Asstated, “Better onboarding of contingent faculty would be beneficial both for the quality ofteaching and for career advancement of contingent faculty. By providing better onboardingprocesses, contingent faculty could feel more empowered to self-advocate by knowing the waysand means to obtain items they need and voice their concerns to people that can create change. Recommendations from the deans included: • Allowing senior lecturer faculty to opt-in for a service role • Provide more opportunities to support professional development among contingent faculty
