Then students begin the process of completing a draftversion of an application. The draft paper is graded by a peer, and returned to the studentto use as part of the final submission for a fellowship. Because some fellowshipopportunities fall outside of the cycle of the class meeting, the instructor allows some

that students areoften required to show in their solutions is minimal. For full credit, high school students areaccustomed to simply writing their answers down in a list. In college-level math, science, andengineering courses, they quickly learn that showing their work is not just encouraged, it isrequired! Some students have never had to show any work, and they really don’t know how. Inpractice, just knowing how to find the answer is not enough. Presenting and defending a solutionrequires that the solution be supported with dialogue explaining what was done and why it wasdone. Students cannot create that dialogue without looking beyond the equations. They have tounderstand the model and the mathematics in order to explain it, and without an

For example, belongingness has been linked to extroversion on teams,suggesting that speaking up and trying to fully participate on a team can increase sense ofbelonging [28]. Yet this can be challenging if the team is not a psychologically safe one,suggesting that psychological safety may be an antecedent for sense of belonging on teams.2.3 Psychological safety and engineering teamsPsychological safety is an emergent characteristic of teams that is of interest when discussingsense of belonging in engineering education.

, and her storymay be similar to other students who do not make it through the gauntlet of engineering, andinstead find fulfillment outside of engineering.Additionally, an extensive body of research shows that students’ personal epistemologies–howthey think about the nature of knowledge and knowing – affect how they approach learning inscience, mathematics, and engineering [14-19]. A disconnect between how students perceiveknowledge and engineering pedagogy fosters a lack of belonging in engineering. For example, inone study, “Michael,” a student who valued sense-making over memorization, felt different andisolated from his peers and community [11].
