Students who are likely to persist in engineering reported supportive relationships withmentors, positive near peer role models, a strong sense of community, and an intention tocomplete their engineering major. Yet, accessing these support systems is often challenging forlow-income students, who are more likely to work long hours and spend more time off campusand less likely to have adequate opportunities to interact with others in their major and seethemselves in role models and as part of that community. The COVID-19 pandemic disruptedthe higher education plans and financial viability of UCSB engineering students, especially thosefrom low-income families. In addition to increased financial hardships, these

Other types of industries may not havethis limitation, although it may be desired by the faculty to limit to only one the number ofstudents in this cooperative process at a given time. In this way, they will be sure that studentstruly interact with professionals from the company instead of with peers from school andconsequently obtain the maximum benefits from this experience.

Additionally, the selection ofsigns in communicating technical jargon is important in effectively translating the idea.Finally, a study examining direct instruction (i.e. where the educator is signing) vs.mediated instruction (i.e. where an interpreter is present) showed no difference ineffectively conveying the information to the Deaf student [3].

First, there isa significant burden on faculty mentors who, along with designing a research project, are typicallyindividually advising students, training them in reading and writing about research, and critiquingposters and presentations. These are skills which could be
