Participants also indicatedsignificantly higher leadership interest (p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (p = 0.001), per Table 3.Moreover, effect sizes were high, ranging from .63 to .95. Further exploration of the resultsidentified how increases in identity varied by participant characteristics. Correlation analysiscompared change in leader identity with absolute measures in other outcomes (i.e., interest andself-efficacy). This analysis found two significant relationships for upper-division students;leadership interest (r (50) = -.454, p = 0.001) and self-efficacy (r (50) = -.535, p < 0.001) wereboth negatively correlated with identity

In an alternative approach being piloted during this study, students areintroduced to programming and algorithmic thinking via the hardware applications; the material isintroduced concurrently instead of sequentially.Findings from pre and post-surveys indicate that students taught using both approaches had similarimprovements in self-efficacy to code and build projects with basic circuitry. In addition, moststudents appreciated the approach used in their class; if taught with a hardware-first approach, theythought a hardware-first approach provides greater learning, and if taught with a software

While compared to their maleengineering students, women’s self-perception of their performance and skills in Engineering arelower which could contribute to decreased desire in choosing and remaining in Engineering.Similarly, themes on the shared experience of Engineering identity (Huff, Smith, Jesiek,Zoltowski, & Oakes, 2019)showcase that stable career patterns are associated with higherdegrees of self-efficacy. According to (Byrnes, 1998) self-efficacy beliefs directly impactdecision-making behaviors in a way that college students with higher self-efficacy abilities aremore prone to

For example, there can besituational barriers like disciplinary differences or institutional influences that promote ordiscourage the use of EBIPs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)courses [1, 4]. Further, engineering faculty have reported concern about the time required forboth preparation and implementing EBIPs in class.

In this study, “design performance” refers to the ability of students to generatesolutions that have good performance in quantitative metrics such as low energy usage. Previousresearch shows that student self-efficacy and performance are positively related both outside ofSTEM [11] and in STEM [12]. However, this study evaluates performance specifically in abuilding design exercise with quantitative goals that are simulated within a parametric designtool. This relationship can reflect potential student effectiveness in technical building design, butit does not fully reflect student behavior. The extent of their

IntroductionThere is substantial evidence that most K-12 science and math teachers who aim to incorporateengineering design processes into their courses acquire these skills through extracurricularprofessional development (PD) programs or self-directed learning [1-4]. Research has shownthat PD programs are valuable in increasing teachers' engineering self-efficacy and thelikelihood of implementing engineering processes in the classroom [5-7]. These programs offerflexibility in introducing engineering design to teachers in diverse formats (e.g., in-person versusvirtual) [8], using various theoretical frameworks [9]. They often provide participation incentivessuch as stipends [9, 10]. However, despite the value of these PD programs, teachers areusually

Research shows that negative STEM experiences such as “weed out” courses, orcourses that are purposefully difficult, cause low STEM persistence in first-generation collegestudents [3]. A separate study on outreach events geared towards female elementary schoolstudents stated that decreases in STEM self-efficacy occur around young elementary age [4]. Tomitigate negative experiences, there is a need to focus on creating positive STEM experienceswhich can increase student engagement and increase the likelihood

Engineering identity,a concept that describes how students understand themselves as engineers, has been argued to bea significant indicator of educational and professional persistence [10], [11]. Literature hasconnected a stronger engineering identity with higher retention rates, improved climateperceptions, and better experiences for underrepresented groups in engineering [12].

Furthermore,entrepreneurial attitude plays an essential role in mediating both entrepreneurship education andself-efficacy toward students' entrepreneurial mindset.” (p. 1).

In practice, this looks like supporting more internships, providing
