understand the conditions that mayencourage engineering students to be more entrepreneurial and innovative. Among Epicenter’s severalresearch projects is an ongoing longitudinal survey study of the development of engineering students’career goals around innovation and engineering, referred to as the Engineering Majors Survey (EMS -2016). The EMS study follows a nationally representative sample of engineering students from theirundergraduate experiences through graduation and into the workplace (Gilmartin et al. 2017). Withinthis survey are measures of engineering task self-efficacy and innovation self-efficacy, as well as 39background learning experiences and extra-curricular activities spanning high school throughundergraduate education, which form

students have been conducted in the context of team discourse and studentachievement5, engineering design projects6, and developing validated self-efficacy instruments forengineers7. Moreover, there is evidence in literature on measuring self-efficacy of engineeringstudents in the context of programming8-9. Askar et al., examines factors related to self-efficacyfor Java programming in first year engineering students. These factors include gender, computerexperience, general computing skills, frequency of computer use, and family computer usage.Findings from this study confirm the link between students’ self-efficacy beliefs and their choiceof subject. It was also found that computer engineering students had higher self-efficacy beliefscompared to

Additionally, it was found thatstudents had a significant increase in their development of this combined confidence-success factorover the course of a semester (p-value = .002). Based on extensive research by Godwin et al.13,measures of self-efficacy (presented as performance-competence), alongside subject interest andrecognition by others, have shown to be an important factor to students’ development ofengineering identity. It is suggested then that active learning may allow students to develop anengineering identity11.Initial qualitative work from Major & Kirn11 found five emerging themes: 1) students discovereddesign tasks they were competent in or not competent in, which lead to motivation to complete

-efficacy as described earlier (see Theoretical Background section). In the development of theEMS, this construct was adapted to capture a student’s confidence in his or her abilities ingenerating and gathering new ideas – labeled as Innovation Self-Efficacy. In a similar way, astudent’s confidence in his or her abilities to design and develop new technical prototypes,products or services was included and measured in a variable named Engineering task self-efficacy. For both types of self-efficacy, students were asked to rate their levels of confidencein several innovation- or engineering-related activities. All of those activities were measuredon a five-point Likert scale from “Not confident” (0) to “Extremely confident” (4). For eachtype, the

Moreover, Archambault and Crippen47 developed 24 surveyquestions to measure teachers’ understanding of various instructional and conceptual issues.

(Meyer & Marx, 2014).Although the traditional response in addressing student preparedness is the strengthening of mathand science education at the K-12 level, additional individual factors have been found to play akey role in retention. In addition to aptitude factors, Big Five personality traits(Conscientiousness, Openness, etc.) and affective factors (attitudes, self-esteem, self-efficacy,etc.) have been proven to contribute to retention in engineering programs. According to Hall etal. (2015), “studies have shown internal locus of control, academic self-esteem, self-efficacy, andthe [Big Five] personality trait of Conscientiousness have contributed to retention inengineering” (p. 170).

engineering identity show significant differences as well.Engineering recognition and performance/competence beliefs in year four are higher than inyears one or two. The lack of significant differences for interest may be explained by studentpersistence. Students who are interested in engineering careers choose engineering as a majorand remain in engineering so long as that interest is sustained26–29. Consistent with other work,performance/competence beliefs which are a broader subject-related (rather than task-related)measure similar to self-efficacy does increase over students’ undergraduate engineeringeducation30,31. Previous work showed that recognition beliefs were the most significant predictorof engineering choice31. This paper does indicate

“weed out” course. In the larger project of which thisstudy is a part, we utilize the constructs of engineering identity and self-efficacy as proxies toexamine future attrition. In this study, we focus on fine-tuning our instructional interventions toincrease students’ sense of community. Results from this initial iteration reveal usefuldifferences in the role instructors and students play in the course as well as the impact thosechanges have on students’ sense of community. Over time, we believe an increase in a sense ofcommunity among the students will have a positive impact on both their engineering identity andself-efficacy, and thus their continuation as engineering majors, as they continue in theirprograms.References[1] Blickenstaff

: they believe in innate talents. Thegrowth mindset is considered an important component in promoting positive learning behaviorsand dispositions, because it promotes success through effort.Dweck also found that students with the growth mindset adopt a mastery goal orientation, inwhich they strive to master an academic subject whereas students with the fixed mindset adopt aperformance goal orientation in which they aim only to earn a grade or to perform better thanpeers8. Mastery goal orientation has been associated with positive outcomes such as self-efficacy,persistence, preference for challenge, and self-regulated learning, whereas performance goalorientations has been associated with maladaptive patterns of cognition, affect, and behavior 9

To test this effect, political self-efficacy andpolitical alienation were measured on each survey; taking additional surveys did notchange either measure, so these hypotheses were rejected.

difficult decisions about how they allocate their time. Financialcost refers to students’ perceived challenges related to both expenses associated with doctoralstudy and opportunity costs related to devoting time to their degree instead of potentially morelucrative employment. Academic cost reflects students’ challenges related to both the culturaland academic demands associated with pursuing a doctoral degree, and does not exclusivelyreflect their sense of self-efficacy in engineering.IV. MethodsLimited empirical literature suggests returning students may face distinct challenges related totheir decisions to pursue engineering doctoral study.
