Studies have shown that these students often experience lower self-efficacy and a weakersense of belonging, which can negatively impact their persistence in engineering programs [10-11]. According to researchers, well-structured first-year seminar courses permit students toexperience a better transition from high school to college, understanding the new expectationsand work demands, developing time-management and study skills, particularly for students atrisk [12]. Besides, small group seminars facilitate the interaction with faculty and peers creatinga community of support leading to a better outcome of persistence and performance [13].

Although many aspects coincide within undergraduate engineeringeducation, including advising, finances, curriculum, pedagogy, grading, peer groups, etc., we canpresume that classroom practice constitutes a bulk of student lives and therefore is a primaryplace we may expect to find mechanisms of racial inequity.Methodologically, classroom observations through ethnography or video research are theprimary tools for investigating classroom practice and interaction as mechanisms of inequity.While

In line with the university and departmentpolicies, this course allowed AI on homework and laboratory assignments while requiringstudents to document its usage consistent with receiving help from another resource (such as helpfrom a classmate). Each assignment type has unique limitations. Quizzes and tests, for instance,are individual effort so no outside help is authorized. Homework and laboratory write upsauthorize help from other students, but the work must be primarily that of the submitter.
