how collaborative learning impacts the development oftheir egonet. We want to build egonets for the students to determine if there is a relationshipbetween the structure of a student’s egonets and the student’s characterization of the amount ofteamwork required in their major classes. The network characteristics of interest are socialcapital and clustering coefficient.Social capital is a measure of worth that comes from human interactions, and is typically foundin the ties that are made between individuals in a social network. The social capital that existswithin the social network of an individual can play a major role in their success in school, workor in their personal life [17]. Using an egonet, the quality and quantity of an

set.Freedom, Authority, and AgencyFreedom was the earliest and most prominently identified theme in the student-authors’reflections, defined by the students as the ability to make independent decisions about theproblem without being constrained to a specific method or set of equations. This theme served asa catalyst for several other impactful outcomes, including the development of confidence,interdisciplinarity, and engineering identity during the OEMP. Where the student-authors use theterminology “freedom,” others have used words such as “agency” and “authority” to describe thesame ideas in existing literature [22], [23]. Engle and Conant define authority as “studentshaving an active role, or agency, in defining, addressing, and resolving such
