-Efficacy Measure and Social Cognitive Career TheoryIn the realm of human behavior, self-efficacy holds profound importance, particularly ininnovation and entrepreneurship. Several self-efficacy measures have been developed in theinnovation and entrepreneurship research fields and tailored to the specific tasks that areassessed in this context (e.g., [20]–[24]). Innovation Self-Efficacy (ISE) refers to theindividuals’ confidence in their ability to innovate and engage in specific behaviors thatcharacterize innovative people [23], [25], whereas Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) is thebelief and confidence individuals have in their own capabilities to execute tasks aimed atentrepreneurial outcomes and pursuing new venture opportunities [20], [21

conducted in a single junior-level course for environmentalengineering students. The innovation self-efficacy of participants was measured using a surveythat included items from the Very Brief Innovation Self-Efficacy scale (ISE.6), the InnovationInterests scale (INI), and the Career Goals: Innovative Work scale (IW). The drawings wereanalyzed for Artistic Effort (AE) and Creative Work (CW) by engineering and art evaluators,respectively. The ISE survey results were compared with the AE and CW scores and thecorrelations with travel, gender, and multilingualism on creativity attributes were explored. Astrong correlation between CW scores and AE scores was observed. A negative correlationbetween CW and ISE.6 was found. The CW scores were significantly

, document, observe, and quantify the development of a student’s EM during hands-on experiences in an REU. his work-in-progress paper describes the successful implementation of concept mapping as anTanalytical tool to measure student learning outcomes in the non-traditional learning environment of an REU. Furthermore, this paper describes a work in a current study to explore the development of research self-efficacy and engineering identity development of early career engineering students who participate in a 10-week interdisciplinary research experience and community-building activities through the Engineering Grand Challenges Scholars REUp rogram. This paper illustrates the key role of the

-curricular training fellowship offers the skill-building, cohort-based peer-support, 8+ semesters of time, and life experiences to help address this challenge.The rise in entrepreneurship education at the university level is rooted in student and faculty desireto teach abstract and applied STEM knowledge in a deeper way that delivers value for real-worldstakeholders. Students learn dynamism and adaptability while simultaneously obtaining thefundamentals [1]. While entrepreneurship education typically rose out of business school roots,engineering programs increasingly look to integrate those activities in their curricula due to naturalsynergies around the design process [2], customer/product fit, student demand for purpose-drivenwork, self-efficacy

provides a platform for students to identify real-worldchallenges and devise innovative solutions, fostering a sense of self-efficacy. Students’ sense ofbelonging, psychological safety, and decision-making processes about their future often alignwith their interests and curiosity, but anxiety can negatively influence these perceptions. Anxietycan affect children’s strategic behavior by discouraging them from choosing advanced strategiesand methods or even considering such options in the first place. Prior research efforts ininvention education have focused on intent to persist in STEM, attitudes towards STEM,inventor identity, teamwork, and collaboration skills, but further research is needed to explorehow to cultivate confidence and minimize

, especiallyamong engineering students. Research highlights the influence of fear of failure on students,particularly women, pointing to factors like self-efficacy, gender role conflict, and the learningenvironment's perceived nature [12,13]. The intergenerational transmission of fear of failure [14]and the dual role of this fear as both a hindrance and a motivator [15, 16] emphasizes thecomplexity of navigating failure in educational settings. The influence of educators' attitudestowards failure [17] further illustrates the need for pedagogical strategies that reshape students'perceptions of failure, promoting resilience and a success-oriented mindset.Risk-taking, as an integral aspect of engineering education, demands a comprehensive approachto encourage

problem-solving.First-year experience (FYE) courses, aimed at easing transitions and fostering student success,have increasingly found a valuable partner in EML. EML can benefit FYE courses in diverseways: • Developing self-efficacy: FYE courses can incorporate EML, allowing students to identify opportunities, work collaboratively, and learn from failures, boosting their confidence and self-efficacy. • Building interdisciplinary connections: EML tasks can naturally weave in diverse disciplines, mirroring the interconnectedness of real-world challenges. FYE courses can leverage this feature to encourage students to appreciate the value of interdisciplinary thinking. • Fostering adaptability and resilience

engineering and students’ expected success inengineering were found to decrease over the first year of study for first-year engineeringstudents, especially for women students [19]. Reasons for these feelings could be related toidealistic expectations of college or engineering in general, more difficult assignments thanexperienced in high school, or comparing to peers in a high-achieving peer group. In addition,students’ self-efficacy decreased over the first year of study, particularly for women students.However, both men and women experienced similar decreases in their value-related beliefs ofengineering [19].Importantly, researchers suggest that the potential impacts of the decrease in these expectanciesand value-related constructs on students
