Our team received an NSF grant in the Fall of 2018 tobroaden participation in engineering by recruiting and retaining students who have beenhistorically marginalized in engineering. We focused our research on first-year students whoparticipated in pathway programs which provided peer and formal mentoring, success coaching,shared classes, and social activities, that would provide a sense of community and sharedengineering identity for participants
