Analyses of pilot data demonstrated the negative impact ofunfair treatment on students and their development as engineers.IntroductionLimited data about STEM graduate student experiences and persistence exist [1]. However, theexisting evidence demonstrates Women and Men of Color and white Women remainunderrepresented in graduate STEM programs, particularly in engineering [1], [2]. Qualitativeevidence shows that underrepresented groups face discrimination and bias in addition to therigors and difficulties inherent in engineering graduate education [3 - 7].

,technical professionals must be able to communicate effectively in order to realize their fullpotential [1]. Although these intangible qualities are often referred to as “soft skills”, they aretightly coupled with professional performance and play a hard role in a professionals’success, including those in STEM careers [2]. However, these skills have become stifled, asthe typical engineering graduate spends approximately five years building her/his technicalexpertise, with little to no time devoted to communication training [3]. Evidence suggests thatin the industry, engineers lack the basic required communication skill sets to “hit the groundrunning” [4]. A recent study indicated a high percentage of professional engineers reportedthat ineffective

engineering classrooms? This socialnetwork may play a role in STEM retention for all students. Researchers found that studentswho had more friends in a STEM class were more likely to take the next course in thesequence - regardless of race or gender and made more friends in the class. Thus, whenstorytelling is combined with personal self-affirmation of values - we felt that this could be apowerful tool for engineering students - both socially and academically.We designed the RE3 program to reach the community in three phases. In Phase 1,which occurred during Spring and Summer of 2020, we hired ten undergraduateengineering students to be RE3 Student Trainers and trained them over the summerto teach and tell stories over the course of 3 faculty-guided

These communities provideauthentic educational contexts to students, which allows them to engage in knowledge constructionwhile they socialize with mentors and peers [3]. This integration of academic and social settingsallows students to create personally meaningful learning experiences, which in turn helps themdevelop a stronger sense of belonging and disciplinary identity. Thus, RLCs are recognized as anexcellent intervention to retain, attract, and help undergraduate students to collaborate with like-minded people [4]–[6].Since the data science profession is growing

is an active-learning method that reverses the typical order of instruction. Traditionally, instructors givestudents a lecture, followed by problem-solving practice. However, students often experiencefluency—thinking they understand the material better than they actually do. Then, studentsdevote superficial attention and effort that does not sustain learning [1-2].In exploratory learning, students first explore the new topic with an activity, and then areprovided with lecture [2]. This method is thought to have both cognitive and metacognitivebenefits over traditional instruction. Students become better aware of gaps in their knowledge,motivating them to attend to the subsequent lecture [3-4]. By working through the novelmaterial, students
