askedstudents “Who are the people who support your ability to succeed in college?” Follow-upquestions asked about these people’s characteristics, which of them knew each other, the type(s)of support contained in the relationship, students’ satisfaction with their networks (based on thequestions used in a study of network interventions [11]), and students’ sense of community in themajor (based on the School Community Inventory [12]). Students were also asked optional open-ended text response demographic questions to facilitate disaggregation by identity.Questions Framing the InquiryGiven our purpose and context, our study sought to characterize first-year engineering studentnetworks in the following ways: (1) How did students describe their college
