interested in the freshman engi- neering experience and student self-efficacy related to capstone courses. Bauer’s educational background centers around human factors and ergonomics, and she is particularly interested in issues that concern the safety and comfort of middle school students. Her research has also included topics such as design for the seeing impaired, backpack safety of college students, safety of pedestrians, and ergonomics of industrial tools.Dr. Jessica L.

these fields.Lack of Confidence: Many female students are faced with the constant battle of self-doubt. Are they reallycapable of being in STEM? Do they belong with the other students? Universities have alreadystarted to look at these problems. A study was performed focusing on achievement goals andhow they affect women in engineering as well as their perspectives on courses and experiencecompared to male students. The achievement goal theory is that those with low competenceperceptions usually take on the avoidance achievement goals that avoid failure rather than focuson success. The two types of competence perceptions investigated were self-efficacy andperceived ability. The study was conducted to see if women in a freshmen engineering

The structure ofthe class projects will include goal setting behavior for the projects and intercultural relations.Research has shown that goal setting behavior significantly enhances the participant'sperformance 17 and plays an instrumental role in improving the student’s self-efficacy andintrinsic interest in the task. In addition the course design allows for the creation of specifictasks, roles, and learning goals. Specifically, each student is assigned tasks and is part of a team-directed management structure; this structure includes the election of leaders for each sub-teamand the team at large. In addition, tasks are divided up into smaller focused tasks with frequentreporting requirements, and specific questions that explore

men, and their opinionshould matter for products and services developed by engineers, scientists, mathematicians, etc.Women make up about 50% of university students across the United States and only 13 to 33%of those students hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in STEM, with the lowest percentage inengineering degrees [2].Lack of Confidence of Women in STEM Academic Programs:Since many female students struggle with lack of confidence in STEM, studies have beencompleted analyzing female’s perspectives on their courses and experiences compared to theirmale counterparts. A study revealed that women showed lower perceived ability, self-efficacy,performance approach, and mastery approach than men, along with a higher performanceavoidance and

engineering student motivation by providing a Motivations and Attitudes inEngineering (MAE) test to Bioengineering (BIOE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME) students.The test assessed the student’s perception of his/her present and future abilities to be successful.These students were also given an assessment pertaining to his/her problem solving self-efficacy.The additional assessment evaluated how motivation related to problem solving skills (short-term tasks) is distinct from a student’s goal of obtaining an engineering degree (long-term goals).Kirn and Benson (4) found that student perceptions of the present, future, major-relatedexpectancies, and problem-solving self-efficacy are distinct pieces of student motivation.Students who had progressed

The main motivation is toimprove the involvement of individuals and increase their interest, engagement, andefficiency 21. People who enjoy game-based learning only exhibit an increase in satisfaction,enjoyment, and relevance to the job 22. According to the study conducted by Michele D.Dickey23 (2007), there are elements within the design of multiple online role-playing gameswhich foster intrinsic motivation while requiring players to think, plan, and act critically andstrategically. Sung and Hwang24 (2013) studied learning attitudes, motivation, and self-efficacy and found improvement in all three areas, as well as student confidence, by

achievement measures, the authors found weak relations between the amount ofhomework assigned and student achievement, and positive relations between the amount ofhomework students completed and achievement, especially at upper grades (6-12). Hoover-Dempsey et al.[13] reviewed research on parental involvement in student homework, and foundthat parents involve themselves in student homework because they believe that they should beinvolved, believe that their involvement will make a positive difference, and perceive that theirchildren or children's teachers want their involvement. Unfortunately, the first-generation collegestudents fail to get that at TAMIU. Leone and Richards[17] found that in instructive practice,homework plays a critical, long-term

educational activities; and (2) theresources deployed by the educational institution to provide learning opportunities (Kuh et al.2011, p. 44). Previous studies show the more engaged students are, the more they learn (Astin,1984; Carini, Kuh, & Klein, 2006; Cross, 1999). Furthermore, engagement is also positivelycorrelated to grades (Handelsman, Briggs, Sullivan, & Towler, 2005).Interaction between students and the instructor has been recognized as an essential component forengagement and learning (Astin, 1984; Ewell & Jones, 1996; Fries-Britt, 2000; Schwitzer &Lovell, 1999). Additionally, students that actively interact with professors and other studentsmanifest higher self-efficacy and overall satisfaction with the course (Maeroff

: Was admitted in Summer 2018, completed all courses; commented saying admission to program was smoother than admission to the University.Findings from the SurveyExhibit 3 shows numerical summaries of responses to survey questions. Students admitted inSpring 2021 could only answer the first 3 survey questions related to Application & Admission,Onboarding, and MEM SSC Effectiveness. This was due to minimal interaction and experiencewith the program at the time of survey completion. Hence, several students admitted in Spring2021 wrote in the open comments area of the survey that they marked Neutral or they chose tonot answer questions 4 – 9 (see Exhibit 3).Questions were measured on a 5-point Likert scale and an open response field was
