The post-coursesurvey also had questions measuring the level of agreement to various statements regarding theuse of WeBWorK as a homework delivery system and their experiences with it.Statistical Analysis of Quiz ScoresA binomial generalized linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the data mainly becauseof the variability between baseline student

The intellectual “equipment” is comprised of the learner’sknowledge and beliefs, whereas the value-based equipment are solely driven by the learners’personal goals and interests. Also, Deci 10 proposes that learners’ interests motivate them toparticipate in learning activities. According to Atkinson and Wickens 11 this motivation toengage in learning is a function of learners selecting activities that pique their interests, and alsopersisting and making efforts to accomplish goals they find interesting. Further, activities thatcater to students’ interests have also been claimed to be related with self-efficacy, educationalchoices, and career outcomes 12–14.

In comparison, study abroad experience was onlyselected by 7% of respondents as important or very important. Compared to reported data in theliterature, the value of some type of work experience for recent graduates’ employability issimilar. Stiwne and Jungert (2010), for instance, discussed the importance that engineeringgraduates placed on being able to carry out thesis projects at firms. This was not only for theexperience, but also to develop key skills for the workplace, such as subject-specific knowledge,self-efficacy, and time management skills.

These interview reflections will serve as atool to enhance student metacognition while simultaneously serving as a form of triangulation tocorroborate other methods of assessment (Hesse-Biber and Leavy, 2011).

education researchers have long grappled with impact questions (in the ASEEconference archives alone, “impact” is mentioned in 568 titles; “measuring impact” is in 24titles), and proposed various study-specific methods to probe impact. In one study, for example,student impact of project-based service learning (PBSL) was described through engineeringcollege retention, participation by underrepresented students, fulfilment of ABET learningoutcomes, and enhanced student preparation to practice engineering design.16 Another study thatfocused on measuring the impact of infusing entrepreneurship across engineering curriculumused measures of self-efficacy and locus of control.17 Student attitudes towards math and sciencewere used to measure the impact of

students sit in the same place doing their assignments individually [9]. If the instructors detect a mistake or a student requests their help, they sit together with the group of students and give them a set of “hints” rather than simply solving the problem for them. We teach our students that in order to learn mathematics they should never ask for the solution to the problem, instead they should do it on their own so that they learn by solving the problem [3]. After all, in this part we want to engage more students in learning mathematics. We want the teachers to become facilitators of learning experiences and improve the self-efficacy of students by boosting their confidence and help-seeking abilities [11].

interest in STEM content and careers.”When students are engaged in meaningful tasks that incorporate facets of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics, they will develop a stronger self-concept and greater interest inSTEM fields. Engineering design activities increase students’ interest and self-efficacy inengineering and their problem-solving abilities (Householder & Hailey, 2012). Thomasian(2011) noted when students were not provided with opportunities to engage in hands-on STEMactivities, their ability to complete a postsecondary degree in a STEM field was diminished. Healso stated that without a “rich supply of STEM-skilled individuals” the United States wouldstruggle “to compete in the global economy, where discovery, innovation

included.Interestingly, student feedback revealed that a number of “problems” with the lab sequence stemfrom the perception that either computational thinking is not a relevant skill for a materialsengineer, or that students were not in fact learning more than how to use a specific softwarepackage. To combat these factors and increase students’ self-efficacy, a “marketing campaign”was implemented for these courses. The results of these five years of aggressively includingcomputational modeling into the undergraduate materials science curriculum, including studentperceptions and achievement before and after these changes, can provide valuable insight for anydepartment interested in making similar changes.KeywordsMaterials Science, Modeling, Computation

They foundthat even if negative stereotypes remained in girls’ minds with respect to gender and STEM, thattheir own self perception benefited from contact with female experts in STEM [6].

The collaboration also benefited the non-engineering studentsby demystifying the field of engineering, potentially alleviating “imposter syndrome” bynormalizing team performance expectations, and providing some literacy of the engineeringdesign process. In the case of early childhood education students, these altered perceptions of theengineering discipline may have impact on their self-efficacy for teaching science andengineering (Maier et al., 2013; Kallery 2004; Watters et al., 2000); as such their teaching inthese two content areas may positively influence the perceptions of engineering by their futurestudents, particularly females and minorities.
