structure previously determined through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysisrevealed five latent variables that align with a framework proposed by Fila et al. [1] for teachingengineering within a humanistic lens to help students develop a sense of belonging and theirengineering identity. Our SEM analysis showed that for all students, academic self-confidenceand self-efficacy and a broad understanding of engineering both have a significant positiveinfluence on their sense of belonging, which in turn has a significant influence on their attitudestoward persisting and succeeding in engineering. Appreciating the importance of non-technicalskills in engineering had no significant influence on most students’ sense of belonging with theexception

researcherswill address alignment of data formats to the research questions. The research team will be usingthe Civic Assessment Survey Instrument with pre-, mid-, and post-field tests to assess the impactof the curricula.FUTURE RESEARCH: PILOT STUDYAfter the curriculum is completed, we will conduct a pilot study for 40 teachers (20 treatment, 20control), totaling about 800 students. The Expectancy-Value-Cost for Professional Developmentscale (EVC-PD)[9] will be used to gauge teacher motivation to implement modules. The teamwill measure effect of modules on student civic purpose, knowledge and skill, empathy and self-efficacy. After the curriculum is implemented in classrooms, we will measure if the interventionsupports academic success as measured by

variables that SCCT is built upon. The first is self-efficacy beliefs. That is,how a person perceives their ability to do something. These beliefs are dynamic and can changefrom activity to activity as well as over time. The next variable is outcome expectations. Aperson is more likely to do something if they believe the outcome will be positive (for them, forsociety, or in whatever sense they choose). The last one is personal goals, and it relates to bothself-efficacy and outcome expectations. Personal goals are often what drives people to pursue acertain academic path and are usually grounded in what they believe they can do (self-efficacybelief) and the intention of a positive outcome (outcome expectations).Research of the application of SCCT to

other arenas. Multiple studies documentincreased motivation and self-efficacy in sports training through the use of videos, for instance[15]. Motivation and self-efficacy are foundational concepts of Self Determination Theory [16][17][18], and video’s potential to enhance them in sports may be transferrable to other types ofself-development and growth. In higher education, role-model videos have been suggested tohave a positive effect on the retention of students historically under-represented in STEM,particularly when the role models discuss their personal transitions to college or the work force[19] or navigating STEM education as an historically under-represented minority [20]. Emerginguses of video technology to help the viewer visualize a

specific practices of inclusive pedagogy that faculty might implement to fostergreater belonging in their classrooms.Faculty play an important part in students’ sense of belonging. Rainey et al. [30] found thatwomen “were less likely to feel a sense of belonging” when compared to men and that womenstudents broadly did not feel as though their instructors wanted them to succeed (our previousresearch [3] echoes some of these claims.) However, when faculty emphasized their availabilityand willingness to help students with questions and cultivated an atmosphere of mutual respect,all students experienced a greater sense of belonging [30].In a recent study of early career engineering students [31], students’ self-efficacy and belongingwere examined
