This reinforces the learningachieved early in the program as students proceed through the course of study. As an example,the Project and Operations Management course includes 2 modules taught in the first semester, 1in the second semester, and 1 in the fourth semester. Although different instructors may teachmodules in a particular course, the faculty enforces quality control; each course has a singular“course director”. Each semester, faculty members meet to discuss common projects, integration,and overlap of modules

students differ from independent students by the amount of involvement andinfluence that family and or friends may have in decision-making. These students are stronglyinfluenced by parents or friends who direct them toward tasks that increase their chances ofsuccess. These students have a strong support system. In many cases, if interdependent studentsselect a career in science or technology, they have a better chance of graduating because of theadditional encouragement and support.

Educational advocacy groups, accrediting bodies, employer groups, and higher educationcommissions have identified critical thinking as an essential skill for an informed and “career ready”person.1,2,3,4 Despite intense interest, there is not an agreed-upon definition of critical thinkingwhich has made it difficult for academics to respond.

Theresults indicated that while every respondent recognized a faculty advisor, 43% of Black doctoralstudents in STEM reported that they did not have a mentor, compared to 24% of their Whitecounterparts [10]. Furthermore, the attrition of doctoral students remains remarkably high in STEM anddisproportionately so for those who hold marginalized identities in their fields [11]; some studiesestimate that over 50% of doctoral students will not finish their degrees [12], [13]. It may not comeas a surprise that insufficient mentoring can negatively impact graduates students’ decision topersist in their degree programs, among a myriad of other factors

In contrast, professors with a “local” orientation viewed themselves ascontributing members of the “Co-op College” faculty.

It's weird.If a student is not able to socially integrate into the dominant culture then there is usuallyanother informal experience that allows them to persist. Some of these include exhibiting astrong academic performance, completing an internship, participating in a research project witha faculty member, or taking a leadership role in a professional student chapter. These otherinformal experiences can facilitate navigation through the social spaces and help to validatetheir engineering identity. However, students from the majority group view these as a result ofpersonal and individual preferences, not related to
