Fourth, taking a different tack, inclusion of open-endedconstructivist activities (both virtual and physical) will be investigated for inclusion into the labsas a way to strengthen student self efficacy. As well, the injection of systems level activities,such as constructing small but practical physiological measurement circuits, will be explored fortheir potential to better contextualize and engage students in their exposure to the challenginganalytical concepts. These modifications will take place during the next phase of the project,which will also focus on encouraging the dissemination of these online circuits lab materials toother college

One studyhas shown that learning skills and study strategies alone can provide a 10% increase in predictivevalidity when added to cognitive-only models of academic performance[9]. Similarly, a recentmeta-analysis showed that non-cognitive factors such as conscientiousness, test anxiety, andacademic self-efficacy can explain as much variance in college GPA as high school GPA andSAT scores [10].

who start as freshmen in engineering complete theirbaccalaureate degrees in engineering1. Reasons for this attrition among engineering studentshave been studied for many years. Seymour and Hewitt2 found two main reasons for departuresfrom the sciences: disinterest or disappointment in field, and poor academic performance withsubsequent loss of self-efficacy. Haag et al.3 also found that poor academic advising,unapproachable faculty, and complicated engineering curricula were important institutionalcontributors to student attrition. Although poor academic performance may motivate somestudents to leave engineering, other students persist despite these academic setbacks. In thispaper, rather than focusing on students who leave engineering, we

This need for a stronger STEM workforce is a function of education andawareness at all levels of student education, but it has been documented that choosing STEMmajors is largely decided by an early interest in STEM disciplines.4 As such, one of the nationalgoals set forward by the National Science and Technology Council Committee on STEMEducation is to increase participation in authentic STEM experiences for K-12 students in orderto provide students the opportunity to develop and deepen their interests in STEM as well as tobuild student self-efficacy regarding their ability to participate in STEM.1Summer camps are commonly offered as a mechanism for exposing K-12 students to STEMmajors and careers, often with the direct goal of recruiting

For example, is the learner pursuing the learning through an intrinsic(“this is interesting”) or extrinsic (“I want a good grade”) orientation, and what about thelearner’s self-efficacy? Research over the past 40 years has conclusively demonstrated the effectiveness of learningaccompanied by metacognition [see, for example: refs.17, 18, 19, 20]. Although few of these studieshave been based in engineering or science, the evidence seems clearly extendable to theselearning environments.

Curriculum adoption and revisionrequires many levels of professional development, pilot study implementation, anddistrict/board approval. In the meantime, teachers are left to work with the curriculumthey currently have and attempt to meet the demands of the NGSS. Research has shown that, given their limited preparation for teaching science,elementary teachers rely heavily on their science curriculum materials7, 8.

In problem-based environments, learners practice higherorder cognitive skills (analysis, synthesis and evaluation), and constantly engage in reflectivethinking.34 Lape35 presented tiered scaffolding techniques to bridge the gaps in high-cognitive-load problem-based learning in thermodynamics.

Drawing from the PEARS data,Brunhaver4 showed that engineering graduates who were non-engineering focused four yearsafter earning their degree were different from their engineering focused peers in terms of certainundergraduate experiences (e.g., they were less likely to have participated in an internship or co-op) and level of technical interests. Moreover, while women and men graduates in this samplewere not different in terms of their current position (engineering or non-engineering), they weredifferent in terms of future plans.
