After presentationsstudents reflect on a) the content and how this experience has impacted their views onengineering, b) the mechanics of giving a good presentation, and c) on teamwork by completinga reflective writing assignment considering how they interacted as team members. Feedbackfrom these reflections is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the module. Page 26.915.5Results and DiscussionFrom an instructor’s perspective the module has been hugely successful.

Are there differences between students who report low versus high belonging in the CoE interms of (a) the degree to which potential sources of belonging (e.g. tutoring, residential halls,teamwork in courses) differentially predict students’ overall sense of belonging in the CoE, (b)mean level of perceived support for belonging from the potential sources of belonging, (c)overall participation in support activities, and (d) gender and race/ethnicity?2.

: (a) how a person identifies himself or herself, and(b) how others identify them in different contexts25. Traditional approaches for helping studentsfrom underrepresented groups persist and succeed in engineering, such as Women and Minoritiesin Engineering Programs, focus on the underrepresented students themselves. These efforts areaimed at helping students adapt to a culture that is different from them, and in some situations,they may help underrepresented students recognize themselves as engineers. But identity is two-sided, where peers/colleagues must identify students as engineers25. Programs focused onsupporting the underrepresented students do nothing to encourage others to viewunderrepresented students as engineers. Unfortunately
