teacher certification to engineering students. A small, butgrowing number of engineering colleges are offering general engineering degrees combined with K-12teaching certification.26 Very recent research is underway to actually assess which programs are effective for learning andstimulating interest to pursue STEM fields in college. It is intended to be the first step in evaluating theability of K-12 outreach programs to prepare students to study engineering in college30. This study wasconcerned with the association between types of engineering exposure (e.g., class, field trip, summercamp, etc.) and engineering self-efficacy. The results revealed that there was not a significant differencein self-efficacy scores between the students who

she needs to report to the team leader on theprogress and problems encountered when it happens.The process of selecting team leaders and team members help each student to reaffirm his or role in the team.Project Assessment ComponentsProject assessment and evaluation component discusses the needs for effective assessment of the approachused in this project. Both pre-engineering design self-efficacy survey and post engineering design self-efficacy survey tools were used. Formative and summative assessments tools for the project have developedand used to measure the effective of this project.Instructors will use the Design Strategies Matrix developed by Dr.Crismond [14] as a rubric to assessstudents’ growth in using select design strategies in
