Fig. 3: Participants’ intentions to pursue graduate school in engineering from college entry through one year post-graduation.

Depicts differences between intervention conditions (no mentor, male mentor, female mentor) in participants’ average change in aspirations to pursue graduate degrees in engineering over five years, relative to their aspiration levels at the beginning of college, before mentors were assigned. Error bars designate +/−1 standard error of each condition’s estimated mean aspiration levels at that time-point. N = 150 participants.
