The way students perceive the support they receive from this relationship caninfluence their self-efficacy concerning the competences needed to finish their dissertation, thesisor applied project report. Understanding the relationship between the student’s self-efficacytowards their culminating tasks and their perception of their advisor’s support is essential, asfrom a motivational standpoint, it can serve as a closer proxy for degree completion.This research paper presents the development and validation of the Advisor Support and Self-efficacy for Thesis completion (ASSET) survey, which measures two constructs: Thesis Self-efficacy and Advisor Support.

A fourthcourse taught by the PI, Systems Engineering and Freshman Design (ENGR:108), was notincluded in the analysis because the second half of the course was a project build and could notbe taught using HyFlex format.

transportation systems is driving a significantly increasing demand forminerals critical to the construction of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) like lithium and cobalt. As thepredominant electrochemical energy storage technology for EVs, the demand for LIBs has tripled from2015 to 2020, and it is expected to grow to “2.2 million tons by 2030” [10]. One means of projecting andlegitimizing the notion that transitioning to electrified transportation systems improves quality of life andis sustainable is through the use of life-cycle assessment (LCA). Yet there are a plethora of crucial factorsLCA either has not or cannot consider [11, 12].
