this transformation, there is cause towarrant a broader exploration of relevant constructs. First, there is concern that self-efficacy canbe considered as a deficit-based construct. Second, its creation in the American context may nottranslate directly to the African context. [4] compared results on the General Self-Efficacy Scaleacross 25 countries and found some variation in the internal consistency across countries, basedon the range of Cronbach’s alpha values, a reliability measure, seen. Most of these countrieswere located in the Global North, and no single African country was included in the study. It istherefore possible that the self-efficacy construct may not be as relevant to our students as thosein other contexts. Third, some

previous research shows thatconfidence or self efficacy greatly impacts perseverance in the major [6]. If underrepresentedstudents in particular say that assessment and reporting practices negatively impact theirconfidence and are not always accurate representations of their learning, then these studentsmight be discouraged from persisting in the engineering major, thus further perpetuating thediversity problem that already exists in the profession.This paper explores how students describe the effect of assessment practices on their perceivedsense of efficacy. Specifically, it examines whether students report differences in their sense ofself-efficacy in response to different kinds of assessment (eg. tests vs. hands-on projects) andreporting of

clinical immersion course impacts students from historicallymarginalized groups in race, ethnicity, first-generation status, gender, and age. Comparisonswere made between historically marginalized groups such as African Americans, Hispanics,women, and first-generation college students and their dominant counterparts. Pre- and post-course Likert scale questions were used to analyze the student’s sense of self-efficacy, abilities tomake connections and create value, and general interests in engineering. Preliminary dataanalysis indicated that there are discrepancies in the results of different demographic groups.Further analysis will be conducted to reveal the intricacies of the relationship betweenhistorically marginalized groups and their

Marginalized students,including those coming from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+communities, and low-income households, often navigate complex dynamics of identity withinengineering spaces [6, 7, 16, 17]. The formation of one's engineering identity can profoundlyimpact marginalized students, influencing their sense of belonging, self-efficacy, and academicpersistence.
