success of our program is to use entry and exit surveys to gauge thechange in students’ perceptions of their abilities and learning environment. In particular, we areinterested in the difference between URM students’ and non-URM students’ perceptions of theirabilities and the learning environments in these courses.In the present study, our overarching research question is: Do underrepresented students andnon-underrepresented students show a statistically significant difference in their perceptions oftheir abilities and learning environment as measured by self-efficacy, intimidation byprogramming, and feelings of inclusion?This paper presents entry and exit survey results from three semesters (Fall 2017, Winter 2018,and Fall 2018) of two

CS1 through CS2 to CS3.The survey data was analyzed using a mixed-effects linear model for repeated measures ofquestions on the student’s sense of community in their undergraduate studies up to the point ofwhen they took the survey.The data show that students in all groups report generally positive feelings for every surveyquestions, and that mean values are fairly consistent across groups. However, we did observeseveral statistically significant effects, indicating a change in sense of community andself-efficacy. Overall, students report a small but significant decrease over time in response toquestions related to self-efficacy as they progress through the program. Women in particular showa stronger negative effect compared to men. URM

self-efficacy, sense of belonging, identification and identityintegration. Often, negative experiences are the result of subtle bias or schemas that all studentsbring with them into their teams, and occur despite the employment of best practices in teamformation.This paper presents a summary of a contemporary understanding of this phenomenon aspresented by several individual researchers covering the fields of stereotype threat, engineeringdesign, teamwork, motivation, and race, gender and their intersections. The content of this paperwas generated by collecting the individual responses of each researcher to a set of promptsincluding: • examples of how students can be marginalized in engineering teamwork and what governing

algebra and in improving students’ mathematics self-efficacy,” as measured by theMathematics Self-Efficacy Scale. Further, it was observed that “online homework may be evenmore effective for helping the large population of college algebra students who enroll in thecourse with inadequate prerequisite math skills.” Some universities report that students performbetter on exams when using WeBWorK thus boosting student performance11. In most cases, theimprovement was small, but nonetheless statistically significant compared to classes withoutWeBWorK6.One study found that student preferences for online homework over traditional homework Page

arcade game [19]. Fig. 12. Pictures of Student Projects or Presentations for Final DayFor professional development, students were polled in the areas covered by the program beforeand after the program on a Likert scale to evaluate students’ self-efficacy. The results indicatesignificant improvement for various abilities such as: resume building, networking,communication, usage of campus resources, awareness of career paths, academic capabilities,and self-awareness in their areas of improvement to remain competitive for jobs.The number of weeks can be tuned by organizers depending on the pace, content, studentcommitment, school system, etc.Students participating in the virtual program were eager to explore both technical andprofessional

-19 pandemic differs from these earlier and continuing trends in distance learning, notonly in terms of scale and pervasiveness, but, importantly, also in self-efficacy. This switch wasinvoluntary for both teachers and learners. Wei and Chou found that learners’ perceptions ofself-efficacy had a marked effect on their learning readiness in the remote environment [23]. Thisleads to challenges with engagement, as observed in several studies [11-16]. Serhan evaluatedstudent perceptions of the Zoom platform and found that students were not motivated to activelyparticipate in a remote setting [16]. This is in line with prior studies that report a lower level ofengagement, participation and retention rates [17], [26] and overall reduced

Entrepreneurially mindedengineers are not just the entrepreneurs with engineering degrees; they are able to fill both theroles of traditional staff engineers as well as leadership roles within organizations [5].The set of teaching and learning strategies that aim to support the KEEN 3Cs framework for EMis referred to as Entrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) [6]. Oftentimes, EML builds onactive pedagogies, such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), and focuses holistically onopportunity recognition, stakeholder awareness, discovery, and value creation [7]. There arethree entrepreneurial learning domains EML targets: affective factors (such as self-efficacy,intention
