helpful to pay for school, but the Alumni dinner is invaluable. It really helped give me the confidence I needed to see peers not much older than me succeed, and to hear their advice on how to get there. And now as an alumnus who is succeeding in the field of engineering, I love being able to share what I’ve learned and help others.”A unique opportunity ASPIRE funding provided was the ability for students to attendprofessional conferences. Nearly half of the students (49%) responded in the survey that theytook advantage of ASPIRE funds to attend conferences. Students selected the following benefitsof attending a conference: a) received advice on applying for jobs (73%) b) received advice for interviewing

Finally, the methods of evaluation used by researchers range from statistical hypothesistesting, to confidence metrics, scores, and correlation matrices.In order to gather the data necessary to measure confidence, a typical study requests that theparticipants provide a rating expressed in terms of a percentage, corresponding to theirconfidence level with their response [15-16].

The development of self-efficacy relies on four key components [9]:  performance accomplishments: when individuals experience direct success;  vicarious learning: wherein learning results from observing successful peers perform tasks, also known as modeling;  verbal persuasion: led by verbal persuasion that an individual can perform a task; and  emotional arousal: anxiety filled situations can weaken confidence, therefore efforts to reduce anxiety is vital for strong self-efficacy.When all four components are addressed, teachers develop strong self-efficacy

And every time fresh actors tread the path of the story, the groove runs deeper. [1]For decades, researchers have realized that the stories we tell are important artifacts of what wevalue and how we find meaning. Schrank’s study of artificial intelligence included a deep diveinto how the stories we tell relate to human memory and understanding [2]. Further, he notes thatboth the act of telling a story and the process of listening to someone else’s story shape thememories we have of our experiences.

She detailed, in technical terms, the experiments shewanted to include, then added, “I’m trying to make it relevant to the navy” to improve theproposal’s chances of being funded. Gretchen asked whether the navy could use these alloys tobuild engine turbines. Kate answered thoughtfully, “Yes.
