role of self-efficacy and itscorrelation to academic achievement in science and engineering. Self-efficacy is a person’sbelief that s/he has the ability to achieve their goals, such as a career in science or engineering.Self-efficacy is more than self-confidence, as it is situational dependent. Studies have shown thatincreased self-efficacy reporting leads to students being more successful in science andengineering. High self-efficacy can positively influence academic persistence and perseverancein attaining career related goals.6, 7There are four predominant factors that lead to the development of self-efficacy in an individual.Mastery experiences are the most significant factor in developing self-efficacy and occur when aperson masters a

The first two of these initiatives are related to helping first-year student’s transition from high school to college. The first initiative is on the social front; students are paired with a studentmentor, a senior in the major, for guidance and social support. The second initiative ismetacognitive; students take a course on study habits, test-taking skills, resilience, and formingstudy groups. The third initiative is academic. Students who start in Pre-calculus have accessto an online Math practice module. This module allows them to master prerequisite topics theyhave not mastered.

Multiple pedagogical techniques are used that addresslearning at different levels on Bloom’s taxonomy: 1) independent reading with formative Page 11.1308.2evaluation helps individual students master fundamentals (remember and understand), 2) follow-up active learning in class helps student teams apply knowledge to a design problem (apply andanalyze), and 3) design projects have students test how useful acquired knowledge is (evaluateand create).
