attempts to understand and mitigate patterns of marginalization on teams using an onlineteam formation, support, and assessment tool called Tandem.In Tandem, students rate themselves and teammates using a fairly typical peer assessment(usually twice per term) as well as complete a short “team health” check regularly (weekly inmany courses)[18]. Students also receive tailored lessons on teamwork topics through Tandem.One such lesson, the focus of this analysis, addresses group communication and voice safety,including messages about turn-taking, active listening, ensuring all perspectives are heard, andrespecting the value of others’ roles and contributions. The interactive lesson also includescommentary regarding how our multiple identities can

research.Previous scholarship suggests that this increase in persistence could be due to research programsproviding students with space to develop professional and technical skills and engage in thescientific community [8]. Additionally, UREs have been found to provide valuable mentorshipexperiences for marginalized students [2], [9]-[10]. Because faculty and graduate studentmentors take on a collaborative, supportive role in research programs, they can give studentsguidance to support their overall development [2]. Also, when students’ research mentors havemarginalized identities that intersect with their own, the mentors can become supportive rolemodels for the students, which may challenge negative stereotypes students have previouslyencountered [9]-[10

At the time, many educatorswelcomed this increasing emphasis on teamwork not only as preparation for workplace but alsoas a way to increase the participation of women and minorities in engineering (Brown, 2001;Ettenheim et al., 2000; Rosser, 1995; Teague, 1995).

The trend of the whitestudents’ graduation rate appeared almost uniform throughout the years. Minority students’graduation rate appeared to be decreasing. Despite the increased enrollment of the minoritystudents, the graduation rate was decreasing. This could be an indication of a lower success rateof minority students.

The research questions that guided this study were: 1. What are the different ways that student design teams perceive the role of user interactions in their capstone design projects? 2. Based on these different perspectives, how do student design teams approach interactions with their users as part of their projects?By
