factors, environmental contexts, andbehavioral patterns in shaping career choices. This theory suggests that self-efficacy beliefs,outcome expectations, and personal goals are primary determinants in career decision-making andpersistence [17]. In the context of women in engineering at HBCUs, self-efficacy relates to theconfidence women have in their ability to succeed in engineering tasks. Outcome expectationsrefer to the perceived benefits or challenges associated with persisting in the engineering field,such as leadership roles or barriers related to gender bias. Personal goals influence women'saspirations for leadership and professional growth. SCCT is relevant for this study as it allows forthe exploration of how mentorship, faculty support

Their study showed that frustrations can promote individuals to embrace challenges andcontinuously seek out solutions during maker activities.Motivation and self-efficacy are strong factors that impact frustration. For elementary-agedchildren from grades 3 to 6, Vongkulluksn et al. [12] examined frustration as a factor inproviding moments of self-reflection and impacting subsequent activities. Frustration can alsoimpact situational interests and the motivation to continue with children’s activities.
