stereotype threats, the malleability of intelligence, and self-affirmations shouldhave a powerful impact in breaking this negative cycle when implemented systematically and asearly as possible in a student’s STEM education.Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs)Participation in undergraduate research promotes confidence, motivation, and ultimately,persistence in STEM. Undergraduate research is a “high-impact practice” [25] with positiveeffects on both student persistence and learning. Large studies show that students with researchexperiences have a stronger intention to pursue a STEM career than students who do notparticipate [26], [27]. Meta-analyses with large student populations also support the conclusionthat student research

students exhibiting highermath/science self-efficacy and identity were more likely to pursue careers in science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM). Further there is a technological divide in underrepresentedcommunities driven by financial factors, school structures, traditional pedagogical practices, andpeer dynamics informed by gender, race, and socioeconomic factors [6], [7], [8]. Master andMeltzoff [9] propose the STEMO (STEreotypes, Motivation, and Outcomes) to understandcultural stereotypes and foster a sense of belonging in STEM to counteract gender gaps. Theyrecommend interventions to broaden stereotypes, strengthen belonging, and foster a growthmindset to counteract preexisting dynamics contributing to a lack of belonging among

Factor 3 depicts students’ academic self-confidence and self-efficacy, in terms of their confidence in their engineering problem solving abilities, academicperformance, and confidence in succeeding in a college curriculum. Factor 4 characterizesstudents’ understanding of the broad nature of engineering, with respect to how they understandthe relationship between engineering and society and how engineers work with others.

Therefore, students can alsobetter understand the job market and analyze if they will follow one career or industry basedon their experience during the undergraduate course. Because of it, this program has a highlevel of engagement since students can choose their professional path. In Brazil, there aresimilar programs called internship, research assistant, and exchange. However, theseprograms need a dedicated team for students. Generally, students need to look for internshipsat companies or internship agencies, talk to professors with research grants, and look forexchange notices or

Using ecosystem metaphors enablesus to ask questions about the quality of pathways, the availability and flow of resources, and thestructures and processes that create and sustain inequalities. Observing that systems are designedto reproduce themselves, Vanasupa and Schlemer argue that “the apparent problems of lack oflearning and lack of diversity are outcomes of a system functioning as designed rather thansomething ‘going wrong’” [6, pp. 6]. Observable leakage, which is often a primary driver in apipeline metaphor due to projected inefficiencies, is merely the “tip of the
