Article Synopsis
- - Professional engineering organizations (PEOs) help women and underrepresented minority (URM) engineering students build social connections that support their persistence in their studies and future careers.
- - A five-year study showed that URM students involved in PEOs were significantly more likely to continue their engineering majors compared to those who weren't involved, indicating the positive impact of these organizations.
- - Students highlighted that PEOs provided valuable networking opportunities and resources that helped combat feelings of isolation based on gender and race/ethnicity, emphasizing the importance of early participation in these organizations.
The present study examined a procedure for measuring perceived labeling.
