for making a difference in their community and world or personalagency. Personal agency is a capability that every individual holds; it is described by Bandura asan individual’s beliefs about their capabilities to exercise control over events that affect their livesthrough purposeful and reflective actions. Agentic actions allow students to explore, maneuverand impact their environment for the achievement of a goal or set of goals. This study identifieshow cognitive processes of forethought, intention, reactivity, and reflection shape a students’agentic behavior and together influence first-generation college students’ goal of making adifference in their community through their engineering degree.Data for this study came from a large-scale

Twenty groups were assigned the project and three of those groupsparticipated in the “think-aloud.” The qualitative method entailed a detailed task analysis foreach group from which a task map was developed. Corresponding ratings for the quality of eachmajor task and the group’s tolerance for ambiguity during each session were assigned. Aqualitative analysis of the impact that social interactions had on key decision points wascompleted and the use of reflection tools was evaluated. Of the three groups, the highestperforming group demonstrated high quality ratings in each of the major experimental tasks:design, analysis and conclusions.
