IntroductionCollaborative Learning (CL) is an instructional strategy with a positive impact on studentachievement (Cohen’s d = 0.39) in general [1]. Especially in undergraduate STEM programs, aCL approach results in greater academic achievement (Cohen’s d = 0.51), more favorableattitudes towards learning

For instance, a studypublished in Educational Researcher found that minority students are disproportionatelyunderrepresented in special education, including programs that could lead to STEM fields [2],[3]. Additionally, research on inclusive higher education programs indicates that students withintellectual disabilities often lack access to postsecondary education opportunities, limiting theirparticipation in fields like engineering [4]. These systemic barriers contribute to theunderrepresentation of individuals with intellectual disabilities in engineering design and relateddisciplines, further reinforcing inequities

This parentallimitation in higher education poses a major disadvantage to these students compared withstudents whose parents completed a higher education degree. This study adopted the definition offirst-generation college students as college students whose parents did not graduate from a four-year institution [1].Across colleges and universities in the United States, first generation students comprise 30-50%of the undergraduate students. First generation students are more predominant in two-yearcolleges and in general, they tend to have a high dropout rate [2].Research indicates that first generation students are less likely to be engaged in academic andsocial experiences such as studying

The three SCCs located perpendicular toeach other detect angular acceleration with respect to the three axes. For example, the lateral SCC,located horizontally, detects angular rotations of the head turning left or right. The posterior andanterior SCC’s detect left and right head tilts and head movements up and down respectively.

Tutors provide specific, appropriate feedback to the students during thetutoring sessions. However, one area that remains a challenge is engaging students in revising andimplementing that feedback in their writing process. An important next step is to find new ways to engagestudents in the revision process so they can effectively use the feedback they receive from multipleinterdisciplinary audiences and begin to internalize the benefits of the revision process.
