satisfaction.1 The workshop for international students was so well attended each year that OISS started offering it regularlythroughout the academic year. It is therefore no longer on WIE’s annual calendar.Networking activities provide students the opportunity to meet and learn from role models.These events tend to center on hearing people’s stories. Our signature networking activity is anannual career panel, which brings engineers from across the country to campus to talk to studentsabout their jobs and career paths. Panelists provide brief introductions, but most of the session isreserved for audience questions. The discussions are always lively and appreciated by thestudents.Another example of a networking event is our “Meet Your Faculty” lunches

(STEM) fields, and consequent African-Americanunderrepresentation in academia and the professional workforce. Historically black colleges anduniversities (HBCUs) play a significant role in producing African-American scientists. While in recentyears African-Americans made up only 8% of STEM baccalaureate degrees awarded [1][2],approximately 20% completed their STEM undergraduate degrees at HBCUs [1], which constitute only3% of the post-secondary institutions in the United States [3]. HBCUs have a rich history in trainingtalented students in STEM disciplines and are important sources of future African-American science andengineering doctorate recipients [4]. Between 2009 and 2013, 24% of the African-Americans who earneddoctorates in science and

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 An Institutional Transformation Model to Increase Minority STEM Doctoral Student Success1 Marcia Gumpertz, Rebecca Brent, Cecil D. Campbell, Maureen Grasso, Yvette Huet, Keith SchimmelIntroductionOf doctorates granted in STEM disciplines in the U.S. in the past ten years, African Americanand Hispanic American students make up only 2.7% and 3.3%, respectively [1]. The DoctoralInitiative on Minority Attrition and Completion found that after a STEM student has been in aprogram for two years or more—i.e., in the dissertation stage—the underrepresented minority(URM) doctoral student attrition rate is

CASE STUDIES FOR Too Black to be Woman and Too Much Woman to be a Man: Best Practices from Black Women Persisting through Doctoral Engineering and Computing Programs Case Study #1: Black EyesHow does your race impact your experience in your doctoral program?My race impacting my experience in this department is huge because not only am Ithe only Black PhD candidate in Computer Science in the history of this school,there’s only been five other black students who have graduated from thisdepartment. Knowing this makes me think more about the school and why it beenso difficult for the staff here to recruit other students like me. I know they exist, soit's strange for me to sit here and know that I'm the

international student perspective. We seek agreater understanding of the following: 1) experiences that contribute to international students’ perceivedsense of belonging, and 2) contributors to international students’ perceived quality of interactions with peersand faculty. A qualitative research approach using the critical incident technique with a constructivistperspective was used for this study. The overall results, and in particular understandings about the conceptof ‘sense of belonging’ that emerged from the students’ lived experiences, will provide insights fordeveloping an improved and inclusive institutional support structure for international students within U.S.engineering doctoral education.Sense of belonging Sense of belonging is
