happened during SAGE and reflects onwhat must be improved upon.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of minority students in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (hereafter STEM) has been an enduring crisis in U.S. education. Decrying suchinequity, efforts increased from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to educate and train minoritystudents in the technical fields. To that end, one would be hard pressed to find a higher educationinstitution that had not developed some sort of program to support minority students’ STEMparticipation1. Though the rate at which students seek to study STEM is increasingly comparableby race/ethnicity, the rate of students graduating with STEM degrees is still disparate2 3 4. Thechallenge remains to continue and

By the end of the secondyear, students are well versed in programming skills, so there is a need to redirect“programming” ideas toward interest in becoming “software engineers”.

Yet, there are many challenges to academically productive“group work.” In an overview of the research on small groups and learning in science, Bennett, Hogarth,Lubben, Campbell and Robinson (2010, p. 86) found that published studies reported positive linksbetween small group discussion
