ourprogram. Moving forward, we aim to develop instruments or adapt published instruments thatmore objectively measure student self-efficacy toward design [19] for use in our program and,more generally, in the context of biomedical engineering education. Bandura proposes four mainsources of efficacy information: performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbalpersuasion, and physiological states [20]. We aim to contribute to an understanding of howstudent design confidence relates to such described mechanisms for changes in self-efficacy.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning for their supportvia the Curriculum Enhancement Grant (CEG) and for moderating focus groups.References[1] J.E.

have introduced a new course:Online Project-Based Engineering Experimentation. The course is project-based and designed tooperate in both a blended format, online with classroom labs, and fully online.Recently the topic of project-based learning for first-year college experiences delineated how toincorporate project-based learning (PBL) into the classroom and curriculum [2]. Limiting thefield to engineering still involves numerous investigators. The work of Fini et. al. has quantifiedmuch of the PBL assessments in terms of self-efficacy, teamwork, and communication skills inthe civil engineering environment [3]. The work of Han et. al. on Hispanic students showed thatPBL had a significant impact on students who were not at risk, albeit the

are beginning to identify success outside of traditional academic metrics. A holistic integrated approach to the recruitment, selection, and support of transfer students into engineering is essential to ensure academic and career success. The theoretical framework of Bandura’s Self-Efficacy model, along with the implementation of Chickering’s Student Development Theory [2] have shown to be meaningful and impactful theoretical touchpoints throughout this process. Introduction The model utilized at Northeastern University prior to and during the invited student’s undergraduate experience includes but is not limited to the following: • Pre-enrollment: pre-transfer identification, two-way institutional visits, cross-institutional peer-to-peer

encountermultiple barriers that prevent them from achieving their academic goals. Although they oftenhave good intentions to help students succeed, faculty often attribute the academic barriers to thestudents’ lack of preparation, motivation, or effort to learn. Research studies [1] showed that thisdeficit mindset of instructors negatively impacts the students’ self-efficacy and hinders theiracademic growth. A recent report from the National Academies [2] highlighted the need to createa learner-centered culture that “meets students where they are.” This raises an important yetchallenging question for faculty development: “What can be done to help transform facultyperception to achieve such cultural change?”As a Very High-enrolled Hispanic Serving

These types of mixed approaches work to evaluateconcepts such as emotional perception but then add in scales such as happiness and stresstolerance [6].Pérez [14] defines the difference in emotional intelligence not by the approach of the model butby the distinction of concept. This concept leads to trait EI, also known as emotional self-efficacy and ability EI, also known as cognitive-emotional ability. Pérez argues that thedifference between mixed and

However, despite the literature supportingteam-based learning, it is not a universally positive experience for all students, particularly incases where team difficulties may intensify pre-existing inequities in the classroom. Becausestudents composing a team can come from vastly different academic backgrounds with differentlevels of experience with engineering, a team’s overall performance may be linked to theperformance of students on individual assignments.In this paper, we investigate how individual student performance is related to overall studentteam performance in a first-year engineering design-build-test-communicate

The inclusive team-based learning items used the same response scale as the General Self-efficacy Scale, given theevidence of high reliability and cross-cultural validity [25]. Additionally, the survey askedstudents to rate how easy or difficult the 16 inclusive team-based learning activities felt, giventhat team-based activities can involve intercultural exchange. This strategy was informed by theconcept of intercultural effort [19], which explains that measuring students’ intergroupengagement without also measuring the effort required to engage across such

of knowledge development, identification with thediscipline, and navigation through benchmarks. Each of these three dimensions becomes morecomplex over the course of an undergraduate career, as the knowledge to which engineeringstudents are held accountable becomes more aligned with ill-structured workplace problems [10]and identity formation becomes a “double-sided” process requiring both self-efficacy and beingrecognized by others as belonging to the engineering community [9].

Byallowing students to approach math in this way, self-efficacy for students who feel less confidentin their mathematical capabilities can increase [2].
