-Middle and High School Students [5]will assess students’ attitudes about STEM-related academic course work, STEM-related careers,personal interests and professional contacts, growth mindset and self-efficacy. The survey is partof a set of STEM outreach measurement resources available for educational purposes from TheFriday Institute for Educational Innovation at North Carolina State University College ofEducation.The items assessing attitudes about STEM-related academic courses ask students to rateagreement, using a 5-point Likert scale, with statements related to math courses (3 items), andscience courses (3 items).

StudentsAbstractFirst-year engineering students at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a primarily liberal artsprivate undergraduate institution, can participate in service-learning projects through anengineering living-learning community. In addition, service-learning projects were recentlyoffered at LMU for first-year engineering students not participating in this living-learningcommunity. The impact of service-learning on students’ engineering design self-efficacy andengineering learning outcomes were assessed. An instrument was adapted from a combination ofpreviously validated instruments that measure engineering design self-efficacy and interventionalimpacts on technical and professional engineering learning outcomes. The instrument alsoincludes a

Appendix A.2.Innovation Self-Efficacy (ISE.5) – This self-efficacy construct involves specific behaviors thatcharacterize innovative people and is designed to measure a students’ confidence in his/herability to innovate. The included items are adapted from Dyer, Gregersen, and Christensen(2008). The original Dyer items were piloted and factor-analyzed as part of the EMS surveydevelopment process. The emergent five factors corresponded to Dyer’s innovative behaviordomains of questioning, observing, experimenting, and idea networking, as well as the relateddomain of associative thinking. These items each have a Likert scale of (0-4), have an acceptableCronbach 𝛼 (.78), and have been averaged to form the ISE.5 construct variable (Schar,Gilmartin

The two major components of the study consisted of semi-annualrounds of administering an on-line survey (for all participants) and telephone interviews(conducted with a sub-set of participants).

Specifically, this project proposesthe STEM Engagement through Mentoring (SEM) model as a way to address the followingquestions:1) In what ways do fathers/mentors motivate students to become aware of, interested in, and prepared for STEM careers?2) To what extent does involvement in SEM shape the students’ STEM identity?3) What impact does working with the SEM program have on the self-efficacy of pre-service

A 1-5 Likert scale is used for quantitative analysis of the data in order toevaluate the self-efficacy of the program. The group size of the mentorship cohort has beenlimited to a maximum of thirty students at this stage.

Connected Through Servant LeadershipAbstractServant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm that emphasizes power sharing in decision makingprocesses. It also encourages leaders to serve those they manage by propelling them toward highachievement while promoting their professional growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership isalso being pioneered as a teaching pedagogy at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, anapproach that is unique because most academic institutions subscribe instead to the service-learning model. In conventional academic settings, instructors are the authority figures withcontrol over content, knowledge, assessment, and course outcomes. By contrast, servant-leadership places instructors at the bottom of an inverted power pyramid

Their research suggested that knowledge gained onthe trip was mostly retained one year later, and that behavioral intentions changed immediatelyafter a trip, but were rarely implemented one year later.Others have paid close attention to informal learning environments and their impacts onknowledge retention, self-efficacy, and interest in STEM topics.

The engineering students therefore support the STEMEducation majors and the local youth.Through participation in this program, engineering majors practice their technical skills, discoverthat they HAVE technical skills, and practice their communication skills at the same time -developing higher self-efficacy and seeing the community’s need for the skills they already have.Meanwhile, middle school students are mentored by college students, gaining insight into what itwill take to be on that path, and being inspired to take up a career in STEM.

When members are acculturated, theyusually have accepted the general goals and values of the organization, and are willing tointegrate into the culture. Familiarity with other individuals from the organization (i.e., get toknow the colleagues and establish relationships with members) can foster relationships (in bothmicro and macro-levels) bond individuals to their organizations, and become a way to increaseperceptions of self-efficacy and commitment toward the organization (Cheney et al, 2014).Recognition from others (i.e., perceiving one’s value to the organization and feeling recognized)can also link to job satisfaction

They hypothesized thateducational, vocational, and avocational choices would be most directly related to person’sexpectations for success and the value they attach to the available options. Simply put, theEccles’ theory suggests that choices to engage in activities are shaped by competence and valuebeliefs. Competence is about acquiring skills and applying them. Competence beliefs have beenstudied more widely than value beliefs among K-12 and engineering students. They are mostlybased on the self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1997). Self-efficacy is enhanced by positivefeedback, better performance, and social comparisons

Examples of difficulties include lack of information about occupations,lack of information about oneself, internal conflicts, external conflicts, and dysfunctional beliefs,such as irrational expectations about the career-decision making process itself.Dysfunctional career thinking appears to have a large impact on STEM career choice in females.In a meta-analysis of literature exploring the

Not only wouldyour clothes not fit your shape or your taste, they might even cause further social andprofessional problems. At an even deeper level, not having the autonomy to make thesedecisions would undermine your self-efficacy and your trust in the institutions that are supposedto help and support you.This scenario illustrates, by analogy, what happens to communities all the time.
