development was studied using the Tuckman model, first popularized in the 1960's forworkplace teams and later updated [5], [6]. This model consists of four stages: Forming,Storming, Norming and Performing. Tuckman demonstrated that team members tend to act asindividuals during the first two stages, and then realize that, as contributors to a team, morecould be accomplished with the team than individually. This realization leads team memberperformance toward the Norming and Performing stages. A summary of each of the stagesand their key characteristics is given in Table 1 below [1], [5]–[7]. This table was adaptedfrom a prior study using similar methods with introductory engineering transfer student teams:Table 1: Team Development Stages and Key
needed to wait for students to log into the online class before starting the practice.Author 3 noted that being able to move the time of the mediation to better fit in the coursematerial for the day was advantageous. Additionally, Author 3 noticed that different classsections had different preferences. For example, Author 3’s morning class section liked havingthe practice early during class (e.g., at the beginning), while the afternoon class section liked thepractices later in the class session, especially on Friday (e.g., at the end of class). Lastly, it is ofnote that Author 2 thought a five-minute practice might be too long for an online course,especially when done daily, but the same duration worked well for the in-person course,according to
future recruitment efforts to attract engineering students with a diverse background,particularly the underrepresented populations. This paper reported progress of the first objective.Introduction/BackgroundThe importance of diversity in the U. S. engineering workforce has been recognized. Lack ofworkforce diversity in engineering fields has been related to the poor recruitment and retentionof educationally disadvantaged students or underrepresented groups in engineering [1]. Researchhas identified factors preventing those students from pursuing and completing a STEM degreeand strategies to increase diversity in STEM programs such as summer camps/bridge programs,pipeline programs, pre-college programs, targeted programs, and integrated approach

a growing number of STEM roles.Marginalized populations are disproportionately absent from these fields, which NationalScience Foundation (NSF) has sought to address through the funding of programs aimed atimproving STEM students’ success [1]-[2]. Thus, Baylor University created the Engineering andComputer Science (ECS) Scholars Program—a NSF-funded program to support the success ofhigh achieving, low income (HALI) STEM students. Because student success literatureoverwhelmingly evidences the positive relationship between involvement and success [3]-[4],this study explored how HALI STEM students in the ECS Scholars Program perceive andexperience involvement and success as related to their most salient identities.Guiding Research Question(s

swayed by characteristics andperceptions of students, instructors must approach the practice with a complete understanding ofwhat those ratings reflect.
