The program is intended to keep first-year students engaged in the College of Engineeringso they feel better connected and included in the engineering student community. As part of theengineering curriculum at Fresno State, students seldom take engineering courses during the firsttwo-years of a student’s academic career; the curriculum requires students to focus onprerequisites that involve math, physics and other science courses. Through the mentoringprogram, first-year students will be paired with the top 20% of junior and senior students in eachof the six disciplines in the

A secondary issue is that the scope of the FreeRangecourseware has never been acknowledged in any way by the Cal Poly administration. Though theFreeRange courseware is relatively popular with students and faculty who teach the courses, it isessentially a career-killer in the context of an administration that places a higher value onresearch, publications, and grant acquisitions than it does on actual course development.AcknowledgementsThanks to Nicholas Ross, Jennifer Lumbres, Andrew Ma, and James Mealy for help withproofreading.

The approach used is like whatstudents expect once they start their professional career. The expectation was to provide studentswith a culminating design experience that prepares students for engineering practice. Based onthe response received from students and the industrial advisory board members who evaluatedstudent performance, the approach was very effective in enhancing student learning.

For instance, women in STEM have been found to face microaggressions,have lower social capital, and receive lower wages than men (Committee on Increasing theNumber of Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM)et al., 2020). Likewise, LGBTQ professionals in STEM were more likely to face interpersonalmarginalization and devaluation in project teams than in traditional work structures withoutproject-based teams (Cech & Waidzunas, 2022). Compared to their heterosexual and cis-gendercolleagues, LGBTQ people also experienced more career limitations and harassment (Cech &Waidzunas, 2021).

While there is no formal curriculum forSTEM faculty, hidden curriculum is a relevant framework to explore the spoken and unspokenrules around how one achieves tenure and promotion [30], [31]. The hidden curriculum or realsecrets to success may contradict stated aims when faculty are hired (e.g., your job is 40%teaching, 40% research, and 20% service, but tenure rests on research) and annual evaluationcriteria.

Their socioeconomic rise is largely due to immigration: Asianimmigrants arrive in the United States with more than average levels of education,job skills, and incomes.
