While low self-efficacy of female students impacts career goals and retention in STEM,several interventions have been shown to positively impact student self efficacy and identity withthe engineering profession. Among these are internships, skill-building workshops, and hands-onprojects [6], [7].Additionally, engineering program accreditation emphasizes integrating collaboration andcommunication into undergraduate engineering education, and there is little question thatteamwork is an integral component in university senior capstone courses and first-yearengineering design courses.

Academic integration is a measure of the students’ perceptions of their academic experiences with faculty, counselors, and administrators, as well as perceptions about their career preparation at their institutions. Self-regulation is the awareness, knowledge, and control of cognition. It includes the students’ ability to control their effort and attention in the face of distraction and uninteresting tasks [5] which also may reflect the potential lack of motivation seen in the pandemic generation [6].• Academic performance goals as measured by GPA were met with recent cohort
