As students of ateam may be from vastly
benefits to the students individually, but with COVID-19 forcing a shift to remote learning, collaborative technologies experienced an unprecedenteddevelopment of innovations and tools. A return to in-person classes may incline educators to dropcollaborative technologies for teaching, but remote control, screen share, and collaborative tools are stillbeneficial if using teamwork in the class. This paper investigates the following research question: towhat degree is student engagement impacted by the usage of synchronous collaborative tools in a team-based, in-person undergraduate introductory engineering course?

].Diversifying the engineering workforce is not only beneficial for improving the social andeconomic mobility of historically marginalized racial groups, but it is necessary for theinnovation and technological advancements that are hallmarks of the U.S.’s globalcompetitiveness [12]. Identifying practices that effectively support traditionally underrepresentedstudents in engineering education is critical for improving their sense of belonging (both to theprofession and the institution), which can result in improved academic persistence and degreecompletion [13]. Interventions that target students during their first-year of college represent aparticularly salient strategy for broadening participation in engineering, as it is during this timethat students
