That is, as students agreed more stronglywith the covariates being positive indicators for climate, the beta values increased in negativemagnitude (i.e., lower depression scores; outside of “strongly agree” which begins to reverse thetrend). Looking again at the demographic covariates, compared to the baselines of being a Whitemale domestic student in a science and mathematics masters’ program, there were statisticallysignificant influences in the depression score for the demographics of gender (both female andneither male nor female), race (Asian/Asian-American and multi-racial or other), degree (PhD),and discipline (engineering), with all but degree and discipline indicating positive beta values(degree and discipline had
advance the knowledge they need to master and the skills they need todevelop. Still, the INFEWS-ER team has identified a battery of questions that offer students theopportunity to engage in self-assessment about the transdisciplinary skills that Cohort Challengesare supposed to foster. Students in the 9th Cohort Challenge took that self-assessment at thebeginning of their program and will take it again at the end when their project nears completion.In addition to these self-assessments, the publication of papers generated in Cohort Challenges isa good measure of the quality of the students’ work. And finally, while the short- and long-termimpact of the Cohort Challenges on the graduate student’s careers is not known at this time.However, the

majors constitutedof 70.8%, and at the end of the camp, this cumulative percent was 86.1%, which shows that thepreference for ME and EE did not come at the expense of the CS, but was drawn from otherdisciplines. This can be explained by the fact that students in the camp pursued a balanced set ofactivities, which equally emphasized three important aspects of robotics, i.e., mechanical design,electronics, and computer programming. The choice of college major is highly dependent on students’ own motivation, capacity, friends’and family influence, and role models [25, 26, ?]. An early exposure to topics which reflect upona discipline and students’ confidence in mastering those topics could also play a role in deciding amajor. The survey asked

Employees at this level exhibit skills in geospatial data productionusing technologies such as the GPS, RS, the Total Station, Terrestrial Laser Scanners andcomputer aided drafting technologies (i.e., AutoCAD or GIS). Such knowledge, skills andabilities enable workers to successful traverse lower tier job opportunities in the cross-cuttingindustries of the geospatial workforce (e.g. [17]).

student success [42].Self-identification as a scientist may also mediate the effect of self-efficacy on persistence [35].In addition,research participation increases student’s comfort with new ideas [32], [43]. Forexample, students may come to view setbacks in completing a task as challenges to overcome[44]. Science identity is positively related to persistence in STEM [45]. Undergraduate researchimproves students’ sense of self-efficacy as they master new techniques, overcome difficulties inthe laboratory, interact with others who overcome similar difficulties, and develop a supportnetwork [31], [44]. As students interact academically and socially with faculty and peers inresearch projects, they develop an identity as scientists [35], [46], a

The practices reflect the knowledge, skills, and dispositionsthat students need in order to successfully apply the strands in the different T&E context areas.The outermost blue octagon in Fig. 3 represents the eight major contexts in which T&E conceptscan potentially be applied. While this is not all-inclusive, it does provide local school districtcurriculum developers and teachers flexibility in how the standards are addressed [12].
