Control refers to a participant’s perception that they have the ability toparticipate and succeed in entrepreneurship if they so choose, or their self-efficacy with regard toentrepreneurship (Carr & Sequeira, 2007). We measured Perceived Behavioral Control usingthree questions from Ajzen (2002) as cited in Solesvik (2013) (“If I wanted to, I could easilybecome an entrepreneur”, “As an entrepreneur I would have sufficient control over mybusiness”, “It is entirely up to me whether or not I become an entrepreneur”). Question “PBC3”from Solesvik (2013) was left out per Solesvik (2013). We believe that Perceived BehavioralControl is an important topic for research in this field, connected to self-efficacy, but it appearedthat many students

As in the first introductory course, studentsoften worked with their groups using supplies from the art cabinet at their tables and on thewhiteboards. Although we did not employ Gerber’s survey to measure Innovation Self-Efficacy(ISE)12, in many ways the students dispositions reflect signs of low self-efficacy. However, theISE indicators reflect the types of activities taught in the class, and

Supporting conclusions can be found in the literature,particularly highlighting the pitfalls of teachers having only a superficial understanding of theEDP5. Working through an EDP with proper guidance gives teachers the tools and confidence topush their students outside of the comfort zone of concrete answers and encourages creativityand innovative thinking5, 6.For these reasons, every participant in this program is immediately immersed in the EDP so thatthey can become comfortable playing the role of an engineer. One of the foundational conceptsof real-world Engineering is that there is not one right solution to a problem

In this study, we focus on fine-tuning our instructional interventions toincrease students’ sense of community. Results from this initial iteration reveal usefuldifferences in the role instructors and students play in the course as well as the impact thosechanges have on students’ sense of community. Over time, we believe an increase in a sense ofcommunity among the students will have a positive impact on both their engineering identity andself-efficacy, and thus their continuation as engineering majors, as they continue in theirprograms.References[1] Blickenstaff

women from choosing STEMmajors and careers take shape early in a girl’s life. These factors include poor science identity,low self-efficacy in math, gender stereotypes and stereotype threat, lack of role models,misalignment between perception of STEM careers and personal values, and low interest inSTEM subjects. For example, VanLeuvan (2004) found that girls’ interest in math and sciencedropped by about 15% between middle and high school. Moreover, low confidence and self-efficacy in STEM subjects form as early as grade six (Heaverlo et al., 2013). Early interventionto mitigate negative influences can ultimately have an effect on a women’s choice to enterSTEM (Young, Ortiz, & Young 2017; Bieri Buschor, Berweber, Keck Frei, & Kappler

[Portions of this paper in the review of the literature and research design have been reprintedfrom the 2016 ASEE Poster Session Papers, which provide preliminary material for the reader.]1There is a growing national concern over decreases in science achievement in middle and highschool. Paired with it are challenges associated with workforce declines in STEM-relatedcareers. In response, in a recent PCAST report2 recommendations for recruitment of scienceand engineering students and corresponding recommendations for increased attention to strategicSTEM-related instruction and teacher professional development have emerged. A significantchallenge facing urban science teachers is a low sense of self-efficacy in teaching STEMcontent.3 Additionally, a

. Specifically, there seems tobe a misalignment between teachers’ lessons and what the STIR is intended to measure, namely, afull scientific investigation. Furthermore, our observations also highlighted the challenge that highschool STEM teachers’ face in integrating nanotechnology into their classroom. While each of theclassroom lessons that we observed included a nano-component, the teacher’s primary focuscorresponded with something students were expected to know per state mandates and with respectto state tests. More time spent on nanotechnology, especially a full nano-lab would, we think,detract from what the teachers were expected to cover.Third, we did not find any changes in students’ STEM self-efficacy as measured by the S-STEMconstructs

A more recent example is provided by Boylan-Ashraf who includes hands-on lab activities as part of an arsenal of active strategies applied in anintroductory solid mechanics course (based on presented topical coverage the course would serveas a course in statics). Indicated advantages of active strategies include their increasedlikelihood (compared to lecture-based activities) to provide experiences that are significantenough to build connections as well as a strong association with improved self-efficacy. It isfurther suggested that hands-on learning may promote student retention.Developing contextual knowledge for the "machines" topic In spite of the potential advantages
