cast as holding responsibility for inclusive or exclusive educational experiences. Forexample, one intriguing study found that the learning disparities between deaf and hard ofhearing students under examination arose not from differing student capacities but fromdifferentials in teacher training.11 Obviously, in order for a research study to find instructorcapacity to be the problem, researchers have to start by considering it to be a factor. Self-efficacy-centered models and measurements of student attainment could bring in this factor butdo not routinely do so.42While in some instances like that described above a student has initiated institutional reform, andin others students have led technical projects to create custom-designed assistive

presentations in “regular” communication classes and those who have participated in Idol  students’ attitudes and self-efficacy about public speaking  factors that motivate students to participate.Literature reviewOnce we saw how well-received Idol was, we put together some quick survey questions,gathered some data from students, and then went back to see where our research fit in theexisting literature. We knew from the beginning that Idol could add important contributions toresearch into communication skills in engineering, and research on student motivation andpersistence. We also recognized that Idol is a good example of faculty and student collaboration,interdisciplinary initiatives, and that it shared many of the qualities of
