Thisincorporates both (peer-to-peer) design reviews and reflection work for a computer aideddrafting (CAD) design project. To determine effectiveness, an anonymous Qualtrics survey wasdeveloped and administered to students to determine the impact on their learning experiences,skills, and engineering identity in Part I of the study. Previously, there was only one open-endedquestion that did not yield many responses regarding its impact. The continued study (Part II)seeks to address some of these issues and includes a re-administration of the Qualtrics survey toa second cohort of students in the class. The revised survey contains six new

Ensuring validity of methods After coding large amounts of data, I needed to do a sanity check and see if the analysismade sense. I spoke with my advisor about the codebook to ensure that it was clear andconsistent. Then I reviewed all of the interview data again while doing a second round of codingto label each previously coded section with a specific subtheme. This was an opportunity torevise any codes that no longer made sense, but I found that I generally agreed with my firstround of coding. If there was a particularly difficult quote, I checked with a peer or my advisorto see their interpretation. 6.2.4 Efficiently combining themes to write the case report Details and evidence of assertions in the case report need to be

When revising their drafts, students were askedto provide a statement describing how they addressed the feedback received on their draft.

For example, the Office of UndergraduateResearch (OUR) peer mentor (PM) program [10] at the University of Nevada is a year-longprogram that pairs freshmen with students who have prior research experience. OUR PM hasvirtual research readiness workshops on lab safety, writing a research paper, and preparing aneffective poster presentation [10].

The lecture portion providedopportunities for instructors to inform students about weekly topics to be integrated into courseassignments and reports. The 1hr/40-minute lab sessions were less structured to allow for workingteam meetings, with individualized instructor support, and time for mock presentations, writing,or project planning sessions.

At Union College, the genderdisparity is evident, with female enrollment in the Mechanical Engineering departmentdeclining from 22.5% in the freshman cohort to only 13.3% by senior year. To address thisgap, the department has introduced initiatives aimed at supporting and retaining femalestudents through structured mentorship, peer support, and career development programs.Key among these efforts is the Female Student Mentor Project, which pairs senior studentswith underclassmen to foster academic confidence and professional growth.
