students’ self-efficacy on critical engineering concepts using a five-point Likert-type scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree [15]. In this context, self-efficacyis defined as the ability of students to learn concepts and perform tasks efficiently [16].

this manuscript forcompleteness. The survey had 82 Likert-type items, with selections on agreement with each statementranging from 1-4 and 0-100. The survey took approximately 20 minutes to complete and wasemailed to all students enrolled in the two courses listed above. Measures of the followingandragogical measures and outcomes are as follows: Self-Directed Learning Dimensions AptitudeScale (SLDAS)24, Engineering Expectancy and Value Scale (EV)25, Epistemological BeliefsAssessment for Engineering (EBAE)26, Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood(IDEA)18, and Engineering Design Self-Efficacy Instrument (EDSE)27. Details on the individualmeasures can be found in the original manuscripts, however EBAE questions were adjusted

In the future, the class should continue using the 0 2 7 7 9 Arduino kit. Completing this course has made me well- prepared going into the 0 0 6 12 7 junior-level Mechatronics and Measurement Systems course …Self-efficacy results show some similar
