self-efficacy of users along with drawingability. Having a method to measure learner self-efficacy is intrinsic to understanding the process ofdrawing skill development.The absence of an instrument to assess drawing self-efficacy prevents usfrom evaluating the impact of the intelligent tutoring system on user’s drawing self-efficacy. Hence,there is a need for an instrument that assesses drawing self-efficacy to make sure that studentsare mastering sketching and thereby gaining skills that contribute to their success in engineering.In addition, it is critical to gauge the drawing self-efficacy of individuals to compare traditionalpedagogy with new teaching methods such as intelligent tutoring systems.

Priorliterature demonstrated that various factors contribute to students’ engineering career interests,such as self-efficacy and social support. Previous research also explained that students’ earlyengineering interest was the most influential predictor of their engineering major and careerchoice. Therefore, it is necessary to examine students’ engineering career interest trajectoriesprior to college to better understand how students develop or hinder their interest in anengineering career. This study answers the following research question: “Which social agentsand what communicative messages influence female students’ intentions to choose engineeringas a career at

The survey also included five short answer questions whichasked students to identify their primary expectations for faculty support (one question), TAsupport (one question), and peer support (three questions).

To address these needs, cooperative learning pedagogies have beenimplemented in higher education settings to promote proficiency in problem-solving skills,communication, and teamwork [5], [6]. Cooperative learning implemented through small grouplearning has been largely successful in STEM courses in promoting academic achievement andstudent perceptions of self-efficacy [7], [8]. A prominent model used to characterize teamdevelopment in various settings is the Tuckman model. It lends itself well to cooperativelearning and proposes a series of stages that teams must overcome to function effectively [9].Courses should ideally be structured in a manner that implements the tenets of cooperativelearning [5] while allowing

IntroductionGrades, and by extension grade point average (GPA), are among the most frequently used indicators ofstudent success in both research and practice. In education research, GPA is often used as a measure ofacademic performance, and has been studied in a variety of settings and alongside a variety of correlates,such as self-efficacy or motivation [1].
