have been calls to develop and deploy graduate STEM education modelsthat prepare students for careers outside academia. Few innovations have emerged to meet students attheir current skill and preparation levels when entering their graduate studies while also consideringstudents' individual desired career paths. The U.S.'s current approach to graduate STEM education doesnot emphasize preparing students with professional skills and experience outside the lab. Further,students from differing socioeconomic and underserved backgrounds are often not adequatelysupported. Through a National Science Foundation Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) award, theUniversity of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering is creating and validating a

Survey data was examined by the research group once the fall 2023semester concluded and grades were posted.We used quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine the survey responses. Since this is apilot study, we will refine the survey questions based on this initial data and recruit additionalparticipants in 2024.ResultsThere were a total of 48 participants in this pilot study. A majority of the participants were first-year students (n=17 , 30%) while the next closest were juniors (n=15, 25% ). The majority of theparticipants were male (n=41, 75%) and

integrating gender equality issues within highereducation. In Chile, Ministry of Education Law No. 21.369 promotes the establishment of safeand inclusive environments for all members of higher education academic communities,irrespective of their sex, gender, identity, or sexual orientation. Numerous studies have revealedthat non-cognitive and affective factors significantly influence students' academic progress andsuccess. Therefore, it is essential to explore the perceptions and perspectives of students andfaculty in the School of Engineering regarding gender, equality, and roles. This pilot researchaims to delve into the views held by students and faculty members of a prominent EngineeringSchool in Chile concerning gender-related topics. The

Using an intersectional approach, wedeveloped a scale to assess multiple climate factors associated with organizational commitmentor member retention, many of which are particularly salient to the experiences of students frommarginalized or minoritized identities. We took several steps to create the scale, includingface/content validity analysis, exploratory factor analyses for validity evidence, and internalconsistency for reliability evidence. The survey also includes demographic items to capture therespondents’ complex social identities. During the summer and fall of 2023, we collected ourfirst pilot study data of

Despite the growing number of engineering technology degrees awarded annually,there is a scarcity of research focusing on the acquisition of engineering identity, particularlyamong FG students. Overall, this project will utilize a two phase, mixed methods approach. Inthe first phase, we will quantitatively assess academic performance comparisons between firstgeneration and continuing generation engineering students and utilize the
