The intention is to create a group of scholars representing differentSTEM majors, academic years, gender, race, socioeconomic background, and culturalexperience. Scholars are awarded a $5,000 scholarship (providing significant tuition assistance)which is renewable for up to three years. These scholarships are funded by a National ScienceFoundation S-STEM grant and the selected students must have demonstrated financial need andan eligible declared major (Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Information Technology;Electrical, Computer, Civil

pedagogical approach, CE most strongly is connected to service-learning (S-L). ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.

However, none of Bobby’s group members elaborated or seemed to sharehis uncertainty. Also noteworthy is that Isabel took the opportunity to broach a subject that wasbecoming contentious – who was project manager – perhaps bringing it up in front of an adultfor a measure of safety in addressing a relational difficulty.As to how the feedback they received during the first design critique session shaped this group’ssocial interaction, findings indicate a decrease in students’ focus on social-relational issues asmembers became more task-focused after receiving negative feedback.

Thefollowing are possible implications for faculty as a result of our analyses. a. To facilitate students’ sense of belonging and motivation to participate in class, an instructor can implement the following ideas that require minor effort on the part of the instructor: i. Learn student names or simply recognize if students have been attending class, asking questions, working hard, etc. ii. Tell students explicitly during class that s/he cares that students learn the course material. iii. Encourage students to attend office hours if/when they need
