from trusted others, viewing others working incareers of interest, and experiencing the work they are interested in themselves. Kennedy [5] studied the effects ofeach of these experiences and found them all to increase self-efficacy in engineering skills. Furthermore, researchershave identified spatial ability as important for engineering modeling and design [7]. This systematic literaturereview examines the relationship between spatial abilities and self-efficacy in engineering.INTRODUCTIONDeveloped by Lent [8], the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory[6], posits that self-efficacy is critical to later career success. The building blocks of SCCT are self-efficacy,outcome expectations, and goals

designed to teach students how to effectively utilize ABB robots in VR environmentsusing ABB’s RobotStudio software. This research seeks to bridge the gap between theory andpractice, offering a practical curriculum informed by the latest educational research andtechnological advancements. To this end, this project provides an initial investigation into thefollowing questions: 1) To what extent does VR support acquiring the procedural knowledge andmotor skills expected in robotics programming? 2) To what extent does this curriculumcontribute to students' mastery of robotics programming principles and ability to apply theseskills in complex tasks? 3) To what extent does this curriculum influence students' intereststoward a future career in a related

strong vocational and CTE (Career and Technical Education) programmingthat historically has fed into the MET program at ___. At recent industrial advisory board meetingsto ___ High School, it has been communicated that recruitment to the CTE program has been downin recent years. Faculty at ___ High School have been open to educational research like thePSVT:R. Demonstrating alternative measures of aptitude for CTE and STEM through participationin instruments and measures like the PSVT:R may be an option for students.Traditionally, mathematics has proven to be a barrier to students considering pursuing majors inengineering and engineering technology. Although a foundation in mathematics is necessary formany engineering technology courses including

of ProductData Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) continues to grow inindustry, yet it is the exception rather than the rule in engineering and technology education. Inthis paper, we discuss an approach to CAD instruction where students work and develop theirskills in the context of a digital enterprise environment. Our goal is to expose engineeringstudents to the concepts, capabilities, and processes involved in the digital enterprise so they canbecome familiar with the tools and methods they will encounter in their future careers. Wediscuss the resources and tools that were specifically developed for this course, as well as thetechnology, workflows, and digital environment that were implemented to replicate a

halfway through the semester, the first-year engineering instructor integratedSketchTivity into lab weeks where students were learning with hands-on measurement activitiesas well as online simulations. In these weeks, SketchTivity was presented as an intelligenttutoring system that could help develop sketching capabilities. As most students in these coursesdid not have any sketching experience and were primarily using CAD design, the instructoremphasized the value of sketching:“I just wanted to introduce them to say, ‘you’re going to have time in your career where you may not have technology available, or you may be more effective just to sketch out [a] design, so we’re going to make sure you have at least know-how to do that
