We also aimedto gain a greater understanding of how similar short-term intervention programs could be used toincrease interest, participation, and persistence in STEM-related careers, as well as to understandwhich specific portions of the program were most closely related to the students’ gains in eitherknowledge or confidence. Our research questions were as follows:1. Did the confidence and/or content knowledge of the students change as a result of engagement in the pre-engineering program?2.

Additional questions, those dealingwith self-efficacy, were selected from the Longitudinal Assessment of Engineering Self-Efficacy(LAESE) instrument measuring student self-efficacy [36].

quantified attitude and motivationintegrating frameworks of self-efficacy theories with outcome expectancy theories. Self-efficacyis social cognitive approach with roots in self-determination theory and describes a person’sperception or beliefs about their capabilities to produce effects (Bandura, 1986). This is closelytied with outcome expectancy which is a person’s expectations about the consequences of anaction (or outcome of a task). The combination of these frameworks, in the context of STEMeducation, have been shown to influence motivation and persistence in an academic track(Unfried, Faber, Stanhope, & Wiebe, 2015).

Tuijl and van der Molen(2015) maintained that male and female STEM role models are particularly important forchildren. Holmes, Gore, Smith, and Lloyd (2017) studied children ages 8-18 and found anincrease in STEM interest for students who have a parent working in a STEM occupation. Theysuggest that those without a parent working in a STEM field are left with teachers and schoolguidance counselors to promote STEM careers in order to foster an interest.Grounded in Bandura’s (1977) social cognitive theory, social cognitive career theory (SCCT)focuses on three primary mechanisms that drive career decisions: self-efficacy, outcomeexpectations, and goals (Lent, Brown and Hackett, 1994).
