under-represented students often enter engineering with lower self-efficacy, and may hesitate to volunteer for technical tasks.11Second, marginalization can occur when an individual’s work tasks are not validated or fullyrecognized by their peers or their instructors.12-14 These biases can emerge when peers orinstructors may simply not acknowledge a student’s contributions or when they subsume thatstudent’s work under the group as a whole. This bias can manifest as the difference between “wedid X” versus “Michael did X” or “we 3-D printed a model” versus “Beth created a CAD Page 26.1007.4drawing so that we could 3D print a model.”  Third, team
