. Example items from this subscale are, “I am confident I can do an excellent job on theassignments and tests in XXX course”. “I’m confident I can understand the basic concepts taughtin XXX class,” and “I expect to do well in XXX class.” The students responded on a Likert-typescale ranging from 1 (not at all true of me) to 7 (very true of me).Engineering Self-Efficacy survey (ENGSE)Developed by Senay Yasar [15] and adapted for use in this study, this scale follows therecommendations of Bandura [16] for constructing task-specific measures of self-efficacy. Itemsexamined students’ confidence for being able to perform the specific course objectives, andproblem solving tasks within the aerodynamics course. There are a total of eleven items.Example

Bandura11 for constructing task-specific measures of self-efficacy. Items examined students’ confidence in their ability to perform the specific course outcomes and to solve problems within the aerodynamics course. There are a total of eleven items. Example items from this scale are, “I am confident in my ability to Page 22.1256.10 apply lifting-line solutions to solve for pressure, lift, and drag on wings,” “I am confident in my ability to describe how airfoil characteristics affect the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil,” and “I am confident in my ability use post-processing software (Fieldview) to analyze airfoils and wings
