To determine the impact of SEI on student self-efficacy, the Baldwin Confidence Survey Form was used in 2014.8 In this survey, which wascreated to measure self-efficacy in STEM, participants respond to statements on a five-pointscale, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Statements are phrased both positivelyand negatively (items

success of these students.Among the strategies developed for this project is a ten-week summer research internshipprogram developed collaboratively with San Francisco State University, a large comprehensiveurban university in San Francisco. The goals of the program are to strengthen students' identityas engineers and researchers; increase student interest to further engage in research activities;and enhance student self-efficacy for successfully transferring to a four-year university,completing a baccalaureate degree in engineering, and pursuing a graduate degree.2. Civil Engineering ProjectShake table, quasi-static, and hybrid simulation tests are the three main experimental methodsthat are used in laboratory on the seismic performance of
