Therefore, the computing education research community (CER)have explored pedagogies to improve computing students' learning outcomes based on existinglearning theories. Few studies have reviewed pedagogies in the context of social constructivism.Social constructivism is a learning theory defined as the collaborative co-construction ofknowledge. Social constructivist pedagogies have enhanced learning outcomes for minoritizedwomen in other STEM fields, but their effects have not been studied extensively in CER.

Many also commented on the need to talk across disciplinary boundaries and that they felt well prepared to do this.

These initial findings openopportunities for future work on the role social network analysis can play in the analysis ofcollaborative learning.1. IntroductionReal world engineering design problems are frequently solved by teams; therefore, as educators,we are required, both by ABET and common sense, to give students the skills and attitudes thatenable them to work effectively in teams. One of the key skills is the ability to engage incollaborative learning with team members. In the process of acquiring the knowledge necessaryto solve the design problem, collaborative learning gives students the opportunity to both learnfrom and to teach their peers

The main reason students choose to begin their higher education pathwaywith community colleges is the need to reduce financial costs of their education. According to a2005 National Research Council study, community colleges have not achieved their full potentialfor the following reasons:(1) a lack of understanding among parents, teachers, counselors, and students of theeffectiveness of community colleges in producing engineering graduates;(2) less than effective articulation agreements (policies and program designed to foster

explanation for this is that, on average, faculty spend the most time with53 students, compared with staff, administrators, and advisors. For most courses offered in higher education,54 this time is at least three hours per week; for research mentoring, the faculty contact time can increase55 dramatically [12]. Classroom interactions between students and faculty have a significant potential to56 influence students’ graduation path [13]. Yet, concerning the instruction by faculty, engineering students57 reported that the quality of instruction in engineering was lower than in their non-engineering courses58 [14], [15].
