from trusted others, viewing others working incareers of interest, and experiencing the work they are interested in themselves. Kennedy [5] studied the effects ofeach of these experiences and found them all to increase self-efficacy in engineering skills. Furthermore, researchershave identified spatial ability as important for engineering modeling and design [7]. This systematic literaturereview examines the relationship between spatial abilities and self-efficacy in engineering.INTRODUCTIONDeveloped by Lent [8], the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory[6], posits that self-efficacy is critical to later career success. The building blocks of SCCT are self-efficacy,outcome expectations, and goals

designed to teach students how to effectively utilize ABB robots in VR environmentsusing ABB’s RobotStudio software. This research seeks to bridge the gap between theory andpractice, offering a practical curriculum informed by the latest educational research andtechnological advancements. To this end, this project provides an initial investigation into thefollowing questions: 1) To what extent does VR support acquiring the procedural knowledge andmotor skills expected in robotics programming? 2) To what extent does this curriculumcontribute to students' mastery of robotics programming principles and ability to apply theseskills in complex tasks? 3) To what extent does this curriculum influence students' intereststoward a future career in a related

Although College graduates often overestimate their abilities,yet employers report a lack of basic soft skills, including communication, critical thinking, andproblem-solving, among this group of potential job candidates [15]. A significant proportion ofindustry managers perceive the communication skills of engineering graduates to be inadequate[6]. Collaborative learning is a process

that industrycertification would increase willed effort more than the open-ended project. It was reasoned thatthe open-ended project was more likely to engage students’ creativity and autonomy, which hasbeen found to correlate with intrinsic motivation [9]. Conversely, it was expected that industrycertification would have led to greater increases in willed effort level, as this goal was less open-ended, but more directly tied to potential career advancement. This meant that it could be viewedmore readily as a means to an end, which is more associated with extrinsic motivation [9], [10].However, neither of these outcomes were supported by the results of this study. Thecertification’s effect of promoting interest may suggest that students had a

Inthis paper, we discuss an approach to CAD instruction where students work and develop theirskills in the context of a digital enterprise environment. Our goal is to expose engineeringstudents to the concepts, capabilities, and processes involved in the digital enterprise so they canbecome familiar with the tools and methods they will encounter in their future careers. Wediscuss the resources and tools that were specifically developed for this course, as well as thetechnology, workflows, and digital environment that were implemented to replicate a

halfway through the semester, the first-year engineering instructor integratedSketchTivity into lab weeks where students were learning with hands-on measurement activitiesas well as online simulations. In these weeks, SketchTivity was presented as an intelligenttutoring system that could help develop sketching capabilities. As most students in these coursesdid not have any sketching experience and were primarily using CAD design, the instructoremphasized the value of sketching:“I just wanted to introduce them to say, ‘you’re going to have time in your career where you may not have technology available, or you may be more effective just to sketch out [a] design, so we’re going to make sure you have at least know-how to do that

engineering education as it supports diversity of ideas,allows students to critically evaluate their work, identify areas for improvement, and develop adeeper understanding of the concepts they are learning [1], [2]. It encourages students to takeownership of their learning. It fosters a growth-mindset, where students are proactive in seekingout opportunities for growth and development. This self-motivated approach to learning preparesstudents for lifelong learning and is essential for success in their careers as engineers. Forinstructors, reflection is equally important as it provides valuable insights into the learningprocess of students. It helps instructors to assess the effectiveness of their teaching methods,identify areas for improvement, and

Research has shown that theuse of PBL has increased students’ confidence in their ability to apply engineering graphics skills[19]. Additionally, students were able to expand their perceptions of the scope of work requiredto do engineering projects beyond the math and science usually taught in engineering courses[8], [11]. Class projects also create an opportunity to include aspects of the students’ identitiesthrough projects that incorporate inspiration from their cultures and socio-technical community-based challenges [16], [17], [18].
