extrapolating these subgroup results. Greatersample sizes would yield more solid proof of the effects on a diverse learner’s body.According to [22], there is a high practical significance and potential for real-world impact dueto the very large effect size (d=1.03). However, depending solely on self-report measures has itslimitations due to its potential for bias. The conclusion that effects are meaningful would bestrengthened by the inclusion of objective competence measures. Long-term monitoring is alsorequired to ascertain whether effects endure over time [21]. All things considered, thispreliminary study offers a promising foundation for future research on self-efficacy andexperiment-centric pedagogy.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that

. Surveys included Likert-scale questions on self-efficacy, identity, and intent to persist that are supported by pre-existingliterature [13]–[15]. Additional questions on motivators, relevance of design challenges, andengineering skills were added for general instructor interest.Self-Efficacy Measured Across the Semester-Long CourseFour questions were asked to gauge self-efficacy (how certain are you that you can: identify adesign need, develop a design solution, evaluate and test a design, recognize changes needed fora design solution to work). Responses were collected on a Likert-scale, where 1 indicated“completely uncertain” and 7 indicated “completely certain.” Table 1 shows that responses to allfour questions could be grouped into one self

The pre-test survey, completedprior to their departure to Brazil, was a 30 minute online instrument that used a five-pointrating scale to evaluate baseline values of the measures studied: (1) research self-efficacy; (2) research skills; (3) knowledge of water management issues; (4) attitudestoward technology and sustainable development; (5) global competency and interculturalknowledge, attitudes, skills, and awareness; (6) teamwork skills; (7) perceptions ofenvironmental engineering community relevance; (8) attitudes toward interdisciplinaryresearch; and (9) behavioral intentions for

Students also provided permissionto record their grades on course assignments for analysis. Following the end of the semester,participating students’ scores were recorded for the following: (1) Average of scores forhomework assignments; (2) Average of scores on quizzes; (3) Average of scores for each of threephases of the term project; (4) Average of scores for three midterm exams; (5) Score for classparticipation. Data will be analyzed using multiple regression models. The proposed paper willdescribe the course structure and design of the course assignments, which differ in their level offlexibility, as well as the results and

Finally, it is not enough to understandthe definitions for diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. The authors attempt to measurethe feeling of diversity, equity and inclusion by measuring self-efficacy as it relates to impostersyndrome. A first attempt will include having students assess their performance on the activitiesthrough a reflection exercise. NVivo will be used to assess the student reflections for commonthemes.

that self-efficacy and learners' achievement goals significantly impact STEMcollege students' motivation, according to a study conducted in Canada [8]. Another studyestablished that reinforcing learners' self-belief and peer collaboration increased motivationamong students studying mathematics [19]. Therefore, this study explores how experiment-centric pedagogy, a hands-on learning approach, influenced undergraduates' motivation incivil engineering at one of the historically black universities and colleges, building onpreliminary research. Two research questions guided the study:(i) Is there a significant difference between the motivation of civil engineeringundergraduates pre- and postimplementation of experiment-centric pedagogy?(ii) Does

These courses also explicitlyacknowledge underlying shifts in CEE practice that demand an understanding of sensing andcomputing. The three courses are: (1) CEE Infrastructure in Action: a second year fall coursefocused on local excursions to learn about CEE applications in our community; (2) Sensing andData

This paper reports the details of the development of the learning module,the assessment of student learning, and the results of the pre- and post- module surveys.

Another study [16], including 75 students in anintroductory solid mechanics course, measured students' self-reported trait mindfulness at thetime of completing the mindfulness instruments. This study did not conduct mindfulness trainingwith the students. However, the self-reported mindfulness measures revealed that traitmindfulness does not correlate with students' final grades or mechanics self-efficacy butpositively correlates with business skills self-efficacy. The study further suggests thatmindfulness-based classroom activities may help broaden the engineering education experience.Some research results suggest

Signature assignments were developed to measure student successoutcomes from adopting the pedagogy. The results of the MSLQ administered to 44 studentsimpacted by the pedagogy reveal a significant increase in the students' key constructs associatedwith success. The pedagogy reveals better knowledge gain and classroom engagement than thetraditional teaching approach.IntroductionHistorically, concepts in engineering fields have been taught using traditional methods ofinstruction [1]. In this method, the instructor is the sole provider of knowledge

” methods [11,15]. Active frameworks have many benefits suchas: student preference [16], self-efficacy [17], and student engagement [18]; all of which contribute to theclassroom climate. Perhaps the most popular method for active learning in recent engineering educationliterature is the inverted or flipped classroom where lectures are moved outside the class time [12-13]. Ameta-analysis by Lo and Hew [19] involving 29 engineering education studies concluded that flippedclassrooms promote student achievement with evidence suggesting that self-paced learning before classand increased problem-solving during class were the predominant reasons [20]. Another systematic reviewby Karabulut-Ilgu et al. [21] on the flipped classroom highlighted the following

. Different example methods can be seen in the faculty narratives. (2) Mentors should listen to the ideas and concerns of their mentees. This was uniformly important throughout the faculty narratives. All faculty mentioned methods to increase student interest in the project/field and support their self-efficacy as researchers. Further, the student survey, regardless of student gender, emphasized the importance of mentor “personal consideration.” (3) Mentors should provide career support, particularly for female mentees. While all undergraduate students should receive some level of career support, the female students surveyed indicated this as the most important role of the faculty research mentor
