technical writing skills in STEMdisciplines is well documented. Solutions have been proposed, implemented, and inconsistently sustained.One approach to improving disciplinary technical writing is through Writing Assignment Tutor Trainingin STEM (WATTS). WATTS is an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach in which STEM faculty workwith writing centers and generalist peer tutors to provide just-in-time assignment-specific feedback tostudents. WATTS research was funded by an NSF IUSE collaborative grant (award #s 2013467,2013496, & 2013541). In WATTS, the STEM instructor collaborates with the writing center supervisorand prepares materials for the tutor-training including assignment examples, a glossary of terms, areas ofconcern, and the

involvesconfidence in taking on research challenges, learning new skills, and contributing to the project team.Finally, recognition by others plays a pivotal role in solidifying an engineering identity. It can be definedas “recognition (i.e., beliefs that they are seen as a good student in the subject by peers, parents, andteachers) as being the type of person that can do a particular subject” [17, p. 2]. In the context of thisstudy, recognition reflects both interpersonal validation from engineering peers and mentors as well aspersonal internalization of external recognition. Through others identifying their engineering talent andtechnical contributions, students begin to think of themselves as good engineers worthy of that field. Withengineering interest

inindustry.The Peer Mentors (Peer Mentoring is discussed later in this paper) are invaluable in providingfeedback from the students on how the first-year classes are going, as viewed from the studentperspective.One additional adjustment in our Program was to expand our two introductory courses,Introduction to Data Science and Role of Data Science in Today’s World, from one- and two-credit hour courses, respectively, to three-credit hours each. They were originally designed thatway but were reduced to fit in another course whose content has been folded into other courses.This has resulted in minor changes to the first two years of the 8-semester plan. At the sametime, this change has allowed us to expand the Introduction and Role courses to the

Other studies show that morning classes are more likely toexceed their later peers in academic performance [6].This indicates a potential correlation between class timing and academic outcomes. For example,one study examined this with third-year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology studentsand concluded that when class met, especially in the morning, impacted student performance[7,8]. There were additional variables, such as gender, major, Instructor, and term, that acted ascontributing variables[9]. This current study builds upon these findings to further examine class time impacts on studentengagement for two second-year engineering courses.Research MethodsThis study analyzes data from multiple semesters of two second year

First-year studentsare typically in a period of social and academic transition, during which they are more likelyto engage with new perspectives and unfamiliar peers. In contrast, third-year students mayhave already formed more stable social networks and academic identities, potentially limitingtheir openness to intercultural engagement. These findings suggest that interventions aimed atenhancing global competence may need to be tailored to students’ developmental stages.3.2.Results of STEM COIL modules (one purely STEM COIL and one STEM COIL with supplementary history components

She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineering communication allows her to apply this work
