Thesophomore and junior students’ persistence was tracked over a period of three semesters— thusthe pre-COVID-19 cohorts (i.e., fall 2018 cohorts) did not have their education disrupted overthis time frame (fall 2018 to fall 2019) by COVID-19 while the COVID-19 cohorts (i.e., fall2019 cohorts) did have their education disrupted in spring 2020. Next, due to our large sample,we were able to break down and examine student persistence rate by student demographic groups(i.e., gender, financial need, first generation status, and race/ethnicity).Plan of Analysis We

The program was implemented into a CornerstoneEngineering Design course being offered for first-year students in the engineering department.The students were assigned to complete weekly reflections on the course Canvas space onmatters related to their learning and campus experiences as an engineering student. The inputsfrom these weekly reflections were analyzed by faculty each week and an engagement plan wasset in place with the students who were identified as needing help and guidance on courseworkand/or campus related matters.

In this paper, we investigate how the existing Teacher Support for CollectiveArgumentation (TSCA) framework [7], which was developed for mathematics classrooms,applies to this interdisciplinary STEM context.
