When they experience a cultural climate that deviates from thisexpectation, it can lead to negative social/emotional experiences which may lead some toquestion their decision to pursue engineering as a career path. The students leading the workshowed a deep commitment to sharing the student voice however, they also experienced anemotional impact due to the uncertain and challenging nature of the work.

. IntroductionInstitutions of higher education have long sought ways to meet the needs of the workforce.Research shows that there is a shortage of qualified STEM graduates in the workforce.1, 2, 3 Researchfrom the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (2022) indicates that K-12 studentsare not well-prepared to enter into STEM degrees. This is likely one factor in the lack of STEMgraduates from 4-year institutions. Due to this lack of entry into the pipeline to STEM careers, thosethat choose this path need to continue to graduation. Studies show that there is more attrition inSTEM fields than in other fields.5A challenge faced by the majority of institutions of higher education is student retention. Typicalmodels that institutions of higher
