After graduation, engineers’ writing becomes exponentially more important.Often approval of projects relies on residents’ or clients’ understanding of engineers’ work. Forexample, an engineering firm might design several alternatives for a new road or bridge, but thecommunity may not approve the best design because the engineers were not clear in theirpresentation of the data.The plain language movement arose from the legal field and the need to provide moreunderstandable documents free of legal jargon. It has since been adopted by many other fields,especially public health and other healthcare professions, where understanding

The motivation of this paper was a quantitative study that produced resultsmisaligned with SCCT and a follow-up qualitative study of the same population that usedPVEST to explore underlying reasons. While empirical studies generally support the SCCTmodel (i.e., mathematics self-efficacy is correlated positively with mathematics performance[2]), research with minoritized youth is much less consistent [3], [4], [5], [6]. For example, Blackstudents had higher mathematics self-efficacy compared to White, Hispanic, or Asian peers, butthat did not translate to performance [7], [8].
