. This more personalized approach with an emphasis on students' individualresearch topic is considered to be better suited for graduate students [10].Until Winter 2014, the professor taught the critical analysis of a scientific paper. In Fall 2014, atthe professor's request, this part was transferred to the librarians, who have been in charge of allthe pedagogical contents of the workshop ever since. However, at Polytechnique Montréal, onlya professor can be the coordinator of a credited course or workshop. Thus, the professor remainsin charge of the workshop, but he plays more of an advisory role and intervenes only in the eventof a disagreement or specific problems, such as issues regarding grading.ING6900 continued to be mandatory for

shaping and supportingstudents’ group-learning experiences.6 While faculty practices are important in all group-learningapproaches, they can be particularly important for supporting under-represented students, whooften experience marginalization in such settings. Both faculty and peers can marginalizeindividual students in a variety of ways, including through assignment of work tasks, validationof work tasks, validation of ideas or perspectives, and the nature of the group task itself.First, at the onset of an activity, task assignment biases can often result from unconsciousexpectations about who may be more (or less) suited to certain tasks.7, 8 While each team isdifferent, with a different set of identities and personalities, there is also

inproviding transformational educational experiences for students, and that it is an excellent way toattract and retain diverse students to STEM disciplines. It is also one of the best places to embedinformation literacy education; PBL is an established method of bringing both disciplinary skillsand lifelong learning skills together in ways that are engaging for students, and in the case ofservice learning, impactful to communities or individual stakeholders.4,5 WPI, as well as otherinstitutions aiming to graduate future engineers across specializations, use student projectoutcomes to support professional as well as technical skills development for a wide variety ofaccreditation standards, including but not limited to those of ABET in the U.S.A
