. 11. INTRODUCTIONSeveral factors have been identified to contribute to the uneven pursuit and completion of engineering andcomputer science degrees based on race and ethnicity: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering or computerscience as fields of study or as career opportunities [1], (b) the lack of professional identity (inability tosee oneself as a professional) [2], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [3, 4], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with a prospective situation) [5]. Thedemands of an engineering and computer science curriculum contribute to high dropout rates [6], evenhigher for underrepresented students [3, 7, 8]. Early failure in math and science courses pose a barrier
