These modules were piloted in senior laboratory and design sequences(Mallette, Bothwell, & Kelly, 2018), courses that have significant team components, whereweekly- and term-projects are completed by student teams of three. The students were providedwith teaming tools and instruction to enable them to engage in successful teaming practices. Forexample, we emphasized team norming during the team formation stage, which includedconstruction of a team-generated contract specifically outlining the

This group nature brings students of differing identitiestogether, meeting frequently outside of classroom hours or instructor monitored interactions. Thestudents identified group projects, laboratory work, and classroom interactions as a particularhurdle towards engineering peers being a part of their social support networks. This seems tomirror literature which describes a gendered engineering student dynamic where womenexperience negative interactions and diminished project roles in team-based settings [40, 41].The additional layer of being transgender women complicates the ability to draw clear parallelsto existing studies on women in engineering, which often

Many co-curricular support efforts rely onstudents gaining research experiences in a structured and mentored setting. For most engineeringresearch laboratories, there are one or more required prerequisite courses that a student mustcomplete before they can be used. In many cases, these courses are taken by students during theirfreshman or sophomore year. Thus, transfer students are unable to access these labs withouthaving to take these courses out of sequence.

best-practices available for students with physical or visible disabilities and those with non-visible disabilities for both lecture-based classrooms and active learning environments. Classroom and laboratory spaces are made physically accessible for a wide range of bodies. Accessibility options like extra time and providing multi-modal instructions via video or notes are achievable and have been widely implemented. Assessment like homeworks, tests, individual assignments can be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual student. Approaches like delivering content through multiple modes seeks to engage a (relatively) neurodiverse student body. ● Active learning
