This group nature brings students of differing identitiestogether, meeting frequently outside of classroom hours or instructor monitored interactions. Thestudents identified group projects, laboratory work, and classroom interactions as a particularhurdle towards engineering peers being a part of their social support networks. This seems tomirror literature which describes a gendered engineering student dynamic where womenexperience negative interactions and diminished project roles in team-based settings [40, 41].The additional layer of being transgender women complicates the ability to draw clear parallelsto existing studies on women in engineering, which often

Though laboratory assignments arecommon in undergraduate engineering, historically, the majority of the student experience hasconsisted of strictly following prescribed steps to arrive at a predetermined conclusion.

12.1487.112. Undergraduate Research Fellowships (original program, 2001)Up to fifteen fellowships are granted each year in both the USC College and in the USCViterbi School of Engineering to support summer and academic year research. The goal is tofamiliarize students with laboratory research and link them with a mentor early on. It ishoped that through the experience of first-hand research at the undergraduate level, thechances will increase that students will choose to pursue a graduate degree in science orengineering. Student recipients of the fellowship are expected to work on their researchproject at least 12 hours per week during the academic semester in which they receive theaward ($2,500). For the summer, the expectation is about 300 hours or

Unlike an online class, an IC includes face-to-face time with the instructor inclassroom or laboratory setting where the material learned outside of class is discussed andapplied. The IC allows an educator to present course material in several different formats, and soengages the different learning styles and preferences of students. The IC format encouragesstudents to become self-learners and help prepare them for how they will need to learn aspracticing engineers.
