AB  - Transfer students, who are disproportionately URM and first-generation, are a target population for boosting engineering representation. Transfer students in mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering at [the institution] take thermodynamics, a required gateway course, in their first or second term. This paper outlines the results from an observational study to determine how students interact in a peer-led learning environment. The PEERSIST (Peer-led, Student Instructed, Study group) model promotes academic competence through peer dialogue, in which disciplinary knowledge is socially co-constructed and refined over successive sessions. In order to help demonstrate that student interactions are the main source of learning in Peer-Led Study Groups (PLSGs), interactions between students were recorded and compared to those in traditional TA-led recitations using the observation protocol. Results show that students in PLSGs interact with their peers significantly more than students in the TA-led control group. The study also compares peer interactions by incoming course preparedness and finds a non-significant relationship between incoming GPA and peer-to-peer interactions. In contrast, the study finds a negative relationship between the rate at which students ask for and receive help and incoming GPA.
