Conclusion and Future WorkWe created an AR app to open up the “black box” of the SEM and allow students to investigatethe different components and functions of the machine. The app was piloted to a small group ofstudents in Spring of 2021. Students were given pre- and post- assessments to measure changesin their self-efficacy, willingness to re-engage with the content, and fear of making mistakes aswell as their conceptual understanding of the SEM. We found that students who used the AR appdid exhibit a statistically significant increase in willingness to re-engage with the SEM after thecourse. Learner feedback indicates

]. Outreach—specifically, STEM Outreach—is an informal, typically hands-onproject-based learning exercise performed by a STEM or STEM education expert to increaseknowledge of and interest in STEM disciplines [5], [6]. Research has illustrated the positiveeffects an outreach program can have on students, including a bolstered self-efficacy [6] andimproved knowledge of STEM disciplines [3].Although outreach programs have been used at all levels of pre-college education, researchsuggests outreach programs should target younger students, as high school and college agedstudents have already developed perceptions of engineering and their own identities [7]—manifesting itself as yet another barrier to underrepresented groups participating in STEM.Outreach

these SCTM practices. Lastly, we used examscores to verify the effectiveness of SCTM implementation.4.1 Student SurveyIn order to assess the effectiveness of the SCTM, we designed Post-Course Student Survey toprobe students’ satisfaction with the learning process for courses with these SCTM practices.The survey was collected for the Fall Term 2021 Digital IC Design 1 (DIC-I) and AdvancedComputer Architecture I (ACA-I) courses. The survey questions are listed below and it containstwo components: A) perceived effectiveness of SCTM instructional techniques used in the class,and B) assessing student self-efficacy, i.e., the perception of their own abilities to perform certaintasks. The survey was modeled after survey developed in [29].Student

This construct was chosen as the outcome variable for its assumedassociation with engineering leadership identity [9]. This study did not find gender or race to beassociated with students’ engineering leadership construct. Quantitative results overall have beeninconsistent on the effects of gender on engineering identity. While there has been evidence thatwomen engineering students are less likely to self-identify as an engineer [16], other findingshave suggested there is no difference between women and men in engineering identity orpersistence in engineering study [17], [18].Effects of social location on engineering (leadership

internships impact dimensions of the engineeridentity, including experimental competence (i.e., the ability to conduct appropriate experimentsand analyze and interpret the results). Experiential work experiences also enhance work self-efficacy, that is, “an individual’s perceived level of competence or the degree to which she or hefeels capable of completing a task” [12] (p. 602). Similarly, Ralph et al. [13] report one of thebenefits of practicum-education is “developing confidence” as an engineer (p.125). Several studiesalso suggest that co-curricular practice impacts students’ ethical skills and understandings. Gulerand Mert [14] report that internship experiences contributed to students gaining awareness onacting ethically. University of

In recent years,other successful outreach and educational activities implementing shake tables have shown greatimpact [4, 5]. A perfect example of this is the NSF-supported University Consortium onInstructional Shake Tables developed by Dyke et al. [6, 7]. By partnering with Quanser,bench-scale shake tables were deployed at universities across the country to provide studentsaccess to “hands-on” experiments [8].

limitedinteractions between mathematics and engineering departments, and these limited communalactivities can hinder students’ achievement. Students’ self-efficacy in mathematics has a strongrelationship with students’ mathematics achievement, and teacher interaction results in students’higher academic achievement [17].These three concepts prompted the inclusion of a mathematician in the project. The goal is toincrease students’ self-efficacy in mathematics and the transfer of learning from math toengineering. This goal will be achieved by including short mathematics pre-assignments with theSensors and Systems class, taught by an engineering faculty, that tie the mathematics utilized inthis engineering course to the content the students learned in their

Data were derived from post-program interviews with over 20 participating caregiversfrom three years of the program. Results illuminate various experiences and shifts in caregiverself-perception and understanding of their children’s learning and development. Specifically,these shifts included enhanced self-reflection and introspection, positive shifts in caregiverinteractions with children, and observed increases in self-efficacy and complex thinking withinchildren.

-URMstudents in STEM majors.Past studies conducted on SI for engineering students have consistently found that SI is linked togreater self-efficacy, persistence, and subsequent success in students’ academic programs[9,10,6]. important feature of SI is the supportive and collaborative learning environment sharedbetween the individual leading the session or SI leader and the student seeking support. Not onlydoes this deepen students’ understanding of difficult course concepts, but the learningenvironment inherent in SI ultimately increases student persistence and retention rates thusreflecting students’ success in their programs [1].III.

inengineering education as engineering curriculum focuses primarily on the technical skills neededto be an engineer. One route to teaching these reflective skills is with self-assessment (SA). SAhas value in the classroom due to the learning benefits and skills it promotes, includingmetacognition and self-efficacy, while providing the student with a chance to reflect on their ownwork. SA has been used in a variety of settings with different methods of implementation but thereare only a few documented uses in engineering.

set of findings emerging frommotivation research that sought to better understand K-12 students’ choice and pursuit of STEMcareers [7], [8]. This body of work has indicated consistently that underrepresented children andyouth are less likely to develop STEM identities or pursue career pathways than non-minoritystudents, especially in the field of engineering [9], and the choices made by children, especiallyunderrepresented children, to pursue various STEM disciplines are strongly associated with theirperceptions of self-efficacy, competence, interest, social support, and the discipline’s costs andbenefits [10], [11], [12].

heart of the model is the idea that expectancy and value lead to student motivation whichis a key ingredient for learning and cognition. This theory suggests that both expectancies forsuccess and subjective task values directly influence the choice of activity, the persistence in it,and the final result (i.e., student performance). Expectancy describes one’s expectation ofsuccess, often framed in terms of self-efficacy. Value represents subjective task value andincludes intrinsic value (i.e., interest and enjoyment), attainment value (i.e., importance), utilityvalue (i.e., usefulness of the task), and relative cost.In order to catalyze changes in student’s attitudes toward data science and explore the hypothesisdriving this research (i.e

Connections to mentors andexperience with real-world problems that connect the dots between STEM academic content andthe industry practice can also enhance students’ competencies and preparation for future careers[11]. These are all critical components in the development of a STEM identity. Engineering self-efficacy and engineering/STEM identity are both characteristics predictive of success inengineering majors and careers [8]. As alluded to above, this is especially important for studentstraditionally underrepresented in STEM fields and is therefore key to addressing diversity issuesessential for organizational innovation [12].Finally, the benefits of apprenticeships and the application of relevant research
