slight differences in their team projectexperiences. In this work-in-progress paper, we perform a more focused study of two studentteaming aspects that have been shown to vary for students from different backgrounds: (a) rolesthat students play on their project teams [1], and (b) their psychological safety.[2]Our research questions are: (1) How are the roles on student-led project teams chosen orassigned? (2) How do engineering project teams foster psychological safety for diversemembers?To answer these questions, we collected and analyzed student survey data regarding how roleswere determined on their team and their level of psychological safety when interacting with otherteam members, team leads, and project advisors. While the survey results

Because this analysisrequires both a TRSPI response from the VIP Team Leader as well as OAS responses from atleast four VIP Team peers, not all OAS responses are necessarily included in the analysis.In addition to the analysis of the Belbin TRSPI and OAS, the open-responses were also open-coded to identify factors that are relevant to the respondents’ interests in and perceptions ofleadership on the VIP Team. These summary data (grouped by Team Leader or Member,Gender, and Race/Ethnicity) are in Appendices A, B, and C.Results Students’ Self-Perceptions of Team RoleRQ 1: To what extent does a student’s self-perception of their team role, and

With respect to recruitment, our current materials aim to (a) encourage students toexpand their skill set and increase their marketability, (b) educate students about careers ininterdisciplinary computing that value social science knowledge, (c) reassure them that the minoris built specifically for social science students with no prior programming experience, and (d)emphasize that course materials were crafted to align with their interests [18].

their present conditions.Research MethodsIn this paper, we describe findings from focus groups conducted over four semesters withinengineering programs at two public universities in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region. Over thecourse of the project, a total of eleven focus groups were conducted for three courses: a first-yearintroduction to engineering projects class at University B, a second-year introduction tomechanical engineering (ME) class at University A, and a third-year electrical engineering (EE)engineering science core course at University A. In all except one case, the courses were taughtby one of the members of our research team (these instructors are also all co-authors on thispaper) and included some elements of sociotechnical

Our IRB permits this re-association of deidentified data with instructor consent. 5. We then prioritized cases for review by aligning the magnitude and sense of the 3 team process measurement scales: a. Satisfaction is a positive construct relating to how satisfied a student is with their current group of teammates, and is measured on a scale from 1-5. It was shifted to a -2 to +2 scale by subtracting 3, then normalized to a -1 to +1 scale. b. Conflict is a negative construct relating to how much conflict is occurring in a team
’, or ‘ancillary’. Definitions of each classification arefound in Table 1.B. After classification, each activity is examined considering COVID-19impacts, i.e., was the activity modified during the pandemic? If so, was the change positive ornegative? Further, does the change represent an opportunity to ‘bounce forward’ and enhance 5resilience (Step 5)? The individual responsible for the activity is likely in the best position toanswer these questions. The last step (6) is implementation, which can include making changespermanent, synergizing like efforts, and creating timelines for execution.Figure 2.

In fact, most of themethods used in Mechanical Engineering can utilize all different types of functions to representrelationships between different parameters in any system.”This juxtaposition of usage in their day-to-day operations as engineers and ability to do algebraicprocesses for a deeper understanding of their college coursework lead us to the second theme.Engineers struggled to describe how they used functions more complex than linear functions(i.e., y=mx+b) in their work. Students typically learn about linear functions prior to CollegeAlgebra, and in College Algebra, explore more complex functions

not feel comfortable addressing microaggressions, but Sue andcolleges [28] point out the importance in directly addressing the microaggressions. Somestudents reported being comfortable engaging the aggressors about their behavior, but oftenstudents did not have the tools to do so. This can be addressed in engineering programs byfollowing Sue and colleagues’ steps to dismantle microaggressions through microinterventionsby a)”making the ‘invisible’ visible,” (b) “disarming the microaggression,” and (c) “educatingthe offender.” To provide students who are the targets and the aggressors with the tools torecognize microaggressions, data, such as was collected in the current study, can be collected instudents’ departments.
