ability in an engineeringlaboratory. This study uses an established survey to assess the experimental self-efficacy (ESE)of students enrolled in a fourth-year chemical engineering laboratory course at the University ofVirginia. The survey measures ESE using four factors: conceptual understanding, proceduralcomplexity, laboratory hazards, and lack of sufficient resources. Results from the ESE surveysuggest that students had higher confidence in their conceptual understanding and their ability toavoid laboratory hazards. This study also analyzes students’ troubleshooting abilities using anexisting chemical reactor system (a water gas shift reaction). Students were asked to use theexperimental equipment to perform an activity. To succeed, students

end-of-semester presentations with direct feedback from mentors. Based on thefeedback from Fall 2021, the implementation was redesigned and introduced in Spring 2022.Two problems were assigned in Spring 2022 along with mentor interactions and students’presentations.Instrument Development and EmploymentThe study used two survey instruments to measure self-efficacy and engineering identity, whichwere chosen based on literature and piloted in two different courses. The surveys wereimplemented at the beginning and end of the Spring 2021, Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters.Additionally, the study conducted interviews with randomly selected students, stratified bygender, at the beginning and end of both semesters, as well as with two mentors and

related to each construct. The MLSQ measures two different scales, motivation and learningstrategy. The motivation scale measures intrinsic and extrinsic goals together with the task value, whichassesses students’ goals, their belief in their ability to succeed in chemistry and their anxiety about achievingtheir desired test scores in chemistry. The learning strategy assesses students’ management of differentresources. The Litman and Spielberger curiosity assessment instruments were used to measure students’ levelof curiosity, self-efficacy, task value, learning strategies and test anxiety (Table 1).Table 1: MLSQ Table Item/Scale Sample Question Code Intrinsic Goal In a class like
