Abstract
This Work in Progress (WIP) paper explores the use of a peer evaluation tool to analyze if minority biases exist when students evaluate their peers at a Freshman-level Engineering Cornerstone course. In 2002, this course was created partly in response to the particular emphasis in the use of methodologies that favor collaborative learning in engineering courses. Organizations such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) have encouraged team projects to develop skills such as leadership, effective communication, and conflict resolution. Therefore, these learning instances are essential to prepare the future engineers to face the world of real work.
