We agreed that language hasmainly influenced us in three ways: (1) Interpersonal Communications, (2) Reading and (3)Writing.

The reflection prompt defined surroundings as the “conditions and objects thatsurround you.” This reflection question was part of an NSF-funded study on the use of weeklyreflection in a flipped fluid mechanics course to drive metacognitive development and lifelonglearning skills. During class, students were encouraged to collaborate with their peers duringproblem solving to achieve collective understanding and interact with the instructor. Based on aninductive, emergent content analysis of the reflection data with two analysts, we obtained anunexpected result. Specifically, the most-frequently mentioned positive classroom “surroundings”was “peers” (46

teachingcommunication are geared towards small class sizes and are difficult to adjust for large groups ofstudents. Directly scaling this approach would require a large number of qualified instructors—i.e., to support and assess students' communication activities—at a significant cost. Someresearchers have addressed these problems by developing online writing centers, resources andtutorials for communication skills4-7 .Online peer tutoring has also been suggested as a potentialapproach8. However, these efforts are still new and further investigations are necessary.Despite the increasing efforts, a large scale survey by Reave9 found that there is still a “large gapbetween the workplace needs and graduating engineers’ communication skills.” Based onReave’s work

In the absence of intentionalinstruction on teamwork and effective collaboration methods, students—especially women—struggle and have negative experiences that stymie the self-efficacy and confidence-building thatshould occur during the senior year. The objective of this paper is to highlight key issues withengineering capstone projects and to identify best practices that result in better outcomes forwomen.

-structured interviews allowed us to gather student perspectives on a variety of issues that theyconsidered to be relevant. In this paper, we present the analysis of the interviews. Our analysisfinds that students had three primary sources from which they deduce what they are expected todo, and how to do it: research experience prior to beginning their program, their PhD advisor, andtheir peers. Each of these sources helps students understand different kinds of expectations, withadvisors providing primarily high-level guidance on what tasks to accomplish, and peers helpingeach other with lower-level tasks. Many students began the program anticipating more hands-onsupport from their advisor, and instead found themselves relying more on their labmates
