aimed at supporting underprepared students through theirprerequisites, both academically and emotionally. The program was designed afterinterviewing many students, both those who persisted and those who left engineering,researching programs at other schools, and building upon prior experience. The mainprogram goals include an increased retention rate in engineering amongstunderprepared students and the creation of meaningful relationships and networks forthese students within their engineering experience.Specific program goals: ● Support the development of meaningful relationships for underprepared first-year students within their engineering experience​.

Women’s experiences in engineering design teams has been the subject of a number ofstudies, with several studies noting that women’s experiences in teams could potentially“recreate sexist environments already found in the university environment for undergraduatewomen if they are not properly managed” [28, pp. 82]. Negative experiences in teams (not beingaccepted, heard, or respected by her peers) could have significant long-term impacts, i.e., it couldbe the difference between staying or abandoning engineering after graduation. During teamwork activities, students negotiate their identities, status, and authenticity.[29] showed that gender is a

However, this vaguenessmay confuse engineering programs about how to address each outcome effectively.1 To addressthese types of issues, McGourty, Besterfield-Sacre, and Shuman called for operationaldescriptions of each outcome; although, they admitted that determining the specificity would bea

We are writing this paper primarily for instructors andinstructional designers, so we focus both objectives on creating online videos that then exist inthe context of a wider educational endeavor (e.g., an online or blended course).
