We explored STEM-specificidentity, self-efficacy, and career aspirations, as well as perceived utility of attaining a STEMdegree, using a model based on Eccles and Wigfield’s (2002) expectancy-value framework ofachievement.

that aims toidentify whether engineering identity and academic motivation are correlated to the extent thatone may predict the other. Engineers face challenges which can result in both failure andtriumph. Studying the source of an individual’s motivation in conjunction with how theyperceive themselves as an engineer may provide long-term insight into ways in which one canpositively enhance the other. Previous work suggests that establishing a strong sense of identityin the workplace can result in greater career motivation [1]. We hypothesize that a stronger senseof engineering identity correlates with stronger academic motivation, and that ultimately onemay be used to measure the other with acceptable validity and reliability.

The purpose of this research is to understand howgraduate engineering student attitudes toward writing affect career trajectory, attrition, andpersistence. Our prior research employs a series of previously-developed scales assessing variousdimensions of writing attitudes and behaviors as a way to understand multiple dimensions of astudent’s affective relationship with writing; however, the survey is long (~30 minutes) and canbe time-consuming for researchers to analyze.

We use this information to compare students who stayed in engineering againstthose who left using quantitative data on how certain and interested they initially were inengineering as well as qualitative responses describing why they switched disciplines or leftengineering.IntroductionAs STEM students and workers gain national attention, a growing body of research seeks toexamine why students choose to pursue STEM-based majors as demonstrated in many previousreports [1]-[4]. Supporting this growth, the National Science Board put together a reportexamining the STEM pipeline, the process of students moving from early education, throughhigh school and college, and into STEM careers [5

Students who engaged in pre-college engineering hobbies showedsignificant gains in self-efficacy [11].In this work-in-progress paper, we investigate students’ self-efficacy through their statements inan informal interview context. Self-efficacy is generally assessed through self-report measures.Surveys are most common, but interviews are also an established and useful method for self-efficacy and related constructs [12].Our research question is an exploratory one: what are the forms of self-efficacy in making thatstudents develop and express during

In particular, she is interested in supporting science teachers’ reform- based instruction while simultaneously understanding their beliefs. As science classrooms shift to more integrated STEM approaches, this is especially critical. Additionally, Dr. Dare has a passion for working with K-12 students to understand how changes in classroom instruction impacts their attitudes towards and beliefs about STEM fields. In particular, she is looking at methods that positively impact girls, which may increase the number of women pursuing careers in STEM-related fields where they are currently

]found that in the STEM majors only 58% of students remain in those fields at the end of theirfreshman year. While there are numerous reasons for this attrition, it is likely that a part of theproblem is that first–year engineering students may not have an accurate understanding of theskills necessary for a successful career in engineering. Similarly, these first year students come tothe career with different motivations. The purpose of this research was to better understand theperceptions of first-year engineering students as they entered a program that was developed witha hands-on, practical focus in order to prepare students for industry after graduation.
