wereillustrated in a concept map. Students were then assigned to create a more comprehensiveconcept map of their entire curriculum and write a reflection on the experience. Several studentsexpressed a fresh awareness of the curriculum design and an appreciation of the attention of thefaculty to their education. This exercise was especially beneficial to students within one or twosemesters of graduation. Because graduate students have moved to a different level of theireducation and are focused on research projects with timelines not bound by the semester, nosimilar exercise was used.The first undergraduate project was an individual assignment titled the North Carolina SwineIndustry Summary, and was designed to build on earlier lessons and prior knowledge

Each week, students were given a list of suppliesneeded for that week’s activities and a set of instructions. Students took selfies of completedactivities to document their individual work. They then attended the in-person HOLD sessionsand began by sharing their selfies and discussing their setups. They would reflect upon differentchallenges that arose and the pros and cons of different supply choices.

At SJSU, as well as nationwide,social science students tend to be more diverse than engineering students [13], [14]. This patternis reflected in the demographics of students completing the minor, such that a higher percentageof Applied Computing students are women and underrepresented minorities relative to studentsin the College of Engineering, in which 19% are women and 22% are URM [13]. The mostpopular major among Applied Computing students is Psychology, followed by Economics. Lesscommon majors include Business, Sociology, Behavioral Science, Communication

For the 2019-2020academic year, all the actualization of the projects happened simultaneously with the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven months of design work suddenly had to pivot intoprojects and deliverables that could be completed remotely without access to much of the tools,equipment, and resources typically used by teams. This transition was much easier for someprojects than others.Upon completion of the Spring 2020 semester, the instructors reflected upon the outcome of thecourse and acknowledged several positive and negative aspects and used those to guide changesimplemented on the next iteration of the capstone course.

There are several limitations to the current student group work and collaborationliterature. Most notably, current studies limit data collection to single semesters and/or to singlecourses, and therefore do not capture the longitudinal effects of collaboration. We identified onlyone study [6] that extended data collection beyond a single semester. This study reported thatstudent network connectedness continued to develop throughout students’ freshmen, sophomore,and junior years; network connectedness later dropped during the students’ senior year.
