Thus, to the extent that studentswho struggle in engineering are disproportionately underrepresented students [3]-[4], it isimportant to examine all aspects of engineering education that could potentially weed thesestudents out, including assessment.Little research has been done to examine the effect of assessment practices on underrepresentedgroups in engineering. Oftentimes, underperformance has been thought of as a failure of thestudent rather than a product of inequities and harmful practices within the methods ofassessment and reporting themselves [5].

There isevidence [5, 6] that student learning networks extend beyond classrooms; these studies suggestthat overly bounded approaches may not capture the range of potential effects of studentcollaboration. Further, existing research has often compared individual student’s network traitsto a net or aggregate performance (i.e., average course grades or average performance on a test)[7]. These group level performance comparisons have further limited the discovery of individualand contextual group work effects.

Thepreliminary analysis revealed that students faced challenges interpreting tasks related to theassigned thermodynamics problems, even after engaging in self- evaluation of their problemsolutions.
