the northeastern US. The survey is administered twiceeach academic year to explore self-efficacy, belongingness, preparedness, and engagement, bothlongitudinally and cross-sectionally. In March 2020, our university quickly pivoted to remotelearning in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and in the fall of 2020 our campus re-openedfor hybrid learning. The abrupt changes in higher education, brought on by the current publichealth crisis, affect students’ learning and mental health, in ways that will likely be long lasting.To measure the impacts of the pandemic on engineering students, twenty Likert-type screenerquestions were added to the survey, which was re-administered in June 2020 and again inSeptember 2020.

While the two showed similar result on concepts learned, therewere a few concepts where the experimental section was behind the control section. However, themain goal of this survey was to show that the project in the experimental section didn’t cause thosestudents to fall too far behind their counterparts.Introduction and BackgroundIn higher education, especially in the STEM fields, there is an ever-growing pool of knowledge tobe learned in a relatively short amount of time. Until recently, the method of teaching

. Yet, an example of theoretical framingis provided here to give instructors a starting point. Ambrose et al. [9] provide compellingjustification that motivation to learn is driven in large part by a combination of three factors: self-efficacy, seeing value, and a supportive environment. Self-efficacy refers to confidence in one’sability to successfully complete a task. Self-efficacy can manifest itself as confidence in currentknowledge, confidence in gaining access to knowledge (e.g., resourcefulness), or confidence inlearning new knowledge (e.g., growth mindset). Research suggests as self-efficacy increases, sotoo will motivation to learn [10]. Seeing value relates to a goal’s perceived importance; as seeingvalue increases, motivation to

The scale for each ranged from 1 (not at all true) to 3 (somewhat true) to 5(very true). Given the limited sample, we used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for a paired samplecomparison. [35] This nonparametric test compares the magnitude of pre-to-post changes acrossparticipants to determine if the positive changes are consistently larger than any negativechanges.At the beginning of camp, students also rated their career and life values on a survey instrumentcommonly used for career planning.

While not all this money wasinvested primarily in pre-college engineering education initiatives, the investment has beensignificant. However, even with these investments, there has not been any significant increase inthe percentage of women or people from certain minority groups participating in engineering.To understand the types of assessment approaches being used to measure students’ affectiveviews—attitudes, beliefs, interests, perceptions, self-efficacy, and identity-with respect toengineering , we built upon the systematic literature review by Hynes et al.

students (URES) suffer 60% attrition in their freshmencohort leading to only 40% earning a B.S. degree in engineering. Three key reasons are poorteaching and advising; the difficulty of the engineering curriculum; and a lack of “belonging” withinengineering. Each, in some way, erodes a student’s self-efficacy, or confidence in his or her ability toperform [1]. The American Society of Engineering Educators conducted two recent national studieson freshmen engineering cohort retention: Going the Distance and reported the following B.S.degree completion outcomes by ethnicity: Asian Americans-66.5%, Caucasian-59.7% /Hispanic/Latino-44.4% , Native American-38.6%, African American-38.3%, and All Females-61%.

The distinct effect specific tostudent engagement and learning strategies could potentially contribute to student satisfaction[3]. Studies have shown faculty reluctance to accept online learning as a valid modality ofteaching and learning. Additionally, as recently as the spring of 2020, surveys identify a strongbelief among faculty that online courses will lead to lowered student performance [7]. Thisdisdain of the online experience is exacerbated by students’ lack of confidence, insufficientsupport, poor course design, inadequate feedback, and lack of instructor presence in the onlinelearning environment [8].

This, and literature like it, demonstrates the considerable efforttowards broadening participation in engineering starting at the pre-college level. Although teachers, principals, counselors and others are critical in enacting efforts tobroaden participation in engineering, less research has focused on this perspective. Literature isnot void in this area though, much research has focused on teacher and school counselor’s beliefsabout teaching engineering (Ming-Chien Hsu et al., 2011), and teacher engineering self-efficacy

They captured students’ conception (i.e.,students’ mental representation of self-learning), approaches (i.e., ways that learners used mobileapplications to facilitate their learning process), and learners’ profile (students’ understanding ofthe application usage). Their study categorized students’ experiences and found a correlationbetween the students’ approaches to adapt mobile learning and their learning approaches.Another study [20] used different students’ experience constructs (e.g., perceptions, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention) as a measure to understand the students’ mobile learningadoption. Their analysis revealed that students’ experiences such as
