Forrest Mims III’s Getting Started in Electronics. Prototypingcircuits with physical components provided mastery experiences that built a sense of personalself-efficacy and identity as an engineer, launching many engineering careers. We advocate forproviding these mastery experiences to non-electrical engineering majors to develop technicalliteracy. To this end, we developed an electronics course aimed at a broad, interdisciplinaryaudience which guided students through a series of projects teaching the fundamentals ofsoldering, circuits, and microcontrollers, then a guided, open-ended circuit design project. Wemeasured self-efficacy and sense of identity before and after participating in the design project.We found a 13% increase in self-efficacy

]. In STEM fields, women face professional barriers in pursuing careers [5]–[7]. When itcomes to entrepreneurship in STEM, Roach et al. [8] estimate that male Ph.D. students in STEMfields are four times more likely than female students to have intentions to enter the workforce ascompany founders. Low female participation rates in STEM-based entrepreneurship pose several problems:First, to the extent that individuals form companies that solve problems they face or that arebased on their own experiences, the existing population of STEM-based firms is less likely tomeet the needs of women [9], [10]. For example, in an analysis of patent data, Koning et al. [11]found female inventors were more likely to create inventions that address female

The myriad entrypoints to this specific engineering program (changes in major, transfers, career changes, stop-outs, etc.) punctuate that first-year-in-engineering may not be synonymous with first-time-in-college. As enrollment patterns continue to change across higher education, it is imperative thatengineering programs are prepared to support students and the variety experiences and needsthey bring to the classroom.
