scaffolded reflection about engineering group work interactions. The moduleprovided students with the opportunity to assess and evaluate their own discussions for equityand inclusion as well as those of experienced engineers. Data were obtained in the form ofstudent written work and post-intervention in-class video of student group interactions.IntroductionGroup work is a fundamental component of undergraduate engineering programs and offersstudents the chance to practice student-to-student interactions within an engineering team. Notonly does the engineering studies literature emphasize that team interactions are central toprofessional engineering practice [1], [2], but also the engineering and science educationliterature has emphasized that group

GPA = 3.33; Calculus II GPA = 3.25). ParallelCalculus I and II sections had average GPAs of 2.17 and 2.15 with DFW rates of 35% and 38%,respectively. In focus groups, students shared that they indeed valued their mastery experiences.Acknowledgement: This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under GrantNo. 1741611: Encouraging Civil Engineering Retention through Community and Self-Efficacy Building.

think the teaching model (prepare before class, solve problems in class using what Ilearned) helped me to learn because itmade me responsible for my ownlearning.” This is an increase of nearly20% from the Fall 2017 responses.Another measure of studentsatisfaction with the overall revision ofthe first-year program is reflected inthe end-of-term course evaluations.The overall average responses for thequestions on the course evaluations areshown as a function of time in Figure3. An average was calculated forresponses on the following topics: (a)instructor enthusiasm, (b) clarity ofinstructor communications, (c)encouragement by an instructor toparticipate during the in-class time, (d)encouragement by an instructor toparticipate in class prep
