-efficacy of undergraduate environmentalengineering students is explored in a target course before and after a curricular interventionwhich has been shown to have the potential to enhance innovation self-efficacy. A design mentorand an education mentor outside of the course supported the students through their engineeringdesign process. During the start and end of this curricular intervention, a survey consisting of theVery Brief Innovation Self-Efficacy scale (ISE.5), the Innovation Interests scale (INI), and theCareer Goals: Innovative Work scale (CGIW) was administered to measure students’ shift in: 1)Innovation Self-Efficacy, 2) Innovation Interests, and 3) Innovative Work. Formal feedback fromthe mentors was utilized in interpreting the survey

-Efficacy Measure and Social Cognitive Career TheoryIn the realm of human behavior, self-efficacy holds profound importance, particularly ininnovation and entrepreneurship. Several self-efficacy measures have been developed in theinnovation and entrepreneurship research fields and tailored to the specific tasks that areassessed in this context (e.g., [20]–[24]). Innovation Self-Efficacy (ISE) refers to theindividuals’ confidence in their ability to innovate and engage in specific behaviors thatcharacterize innovative people [23], [25], whereas Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) is thebelief and confidence individuals have in their own capabilities to execute tasks aimed atentrepreneurial outcomes and pursuing new venture opportunities [20], [21

we take a different tack, wanting to identify the nexus, or common ground, ofInnovative and Entrepreneurial self-efficacies, and Innovative and Entrepreneurial behaviors.Thinking about common ground is a useful lens with which to look at the intentional or focusedcreativity of engineers, whether they are working in new or existing enterprises. First, we showthe development of this intersectional/nexus concept (which we call Embracing New Ideas, ENI)in terms of measures of self-efficacy (ENI-SE; consisting of six items, with a Cronbach’s Alphaof .85) and behavior (ENI-B; consisting of five items, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of .80). Thenbased on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), we model ENI-B (our dependent variable) asa function of ENI-SE

The innovation self-efficacy of participants was measured using a surveythat included items from the Very Brief Innovation Self-Efficacy scale (ISE.6), the InnovationInterests scale (INI), and the Career Goals: Innovative Work scale (IW). The drawings wereanalyzed for Artistic Effort (AE) and Creative Work (CW) by engineering and art evaluators,respectively. The ISE survey results were compared with the AE and CW scores and thecorrelations with travel, gender, and multilingualism on creativity attributes were explored. Astrong correlation between CW scores and AE scores was observed. A negative correlationbetween CW and ISE.6 was found. The CW scores were significantly

study evaluates the use of entrepreneurial design projectsin a first computer aided design (CAD) course. The study quantifies changes in affectivecapacities in terms of Need for Achievement (nAch), Generalized Self-Efficacy (GSE), andTolerance for Ambiguity (ToA). Surveys deployed at the start and conclusion of the CADcourse provide the data needed to evaluate these changes. A paired sample t-test for those whoresponded to both entry and exit surveys (N=14) shows an absence of significant change for anyof the measured affective capacities. However, a small number of individual students exhibitednoteworthy, though not statistically significant, changes for one or more of the three measures.This outcome points to the value of conducting larger

Students learn dynamism and adaptability while simultaneously obtaining thefundamentals [1]. While entrepreneurship education typically rose out of business school roots,engineering programs increasingly look to integrate those activities in their curricula due to naturalsynergies around the design process [2], customer/product fit, student demand for purpose-drivenwork, self-efficacy

On the other hand, entrepreneurial self-efficacypromotes entrepreneurial attitude instead of the entrepreneurial mindset. Furthermore,entrepreneurial attitude plays an essential role in mediating both entrepreneurship education andself-efficacy toward students' entrepreneurial mindset.” (p. 1). They further argue that thecurriculum needs to focus on increasing self-efficacy and positive mindsets by providing those‘mastery experiences’ that allow students to try out entrepreneurship skills in supportedenvironments.

Students’ sense ofbelonging, psychological safety, and decision-making processes about their future often alignwith their interests and curiosity, but anxiety can negatively influence these perceptions. Anxietycan affect children’s strategic behavior by discouraging them from choosing advanced strategiesand methods or even considering such options in the first place. Prior research efforts ininvention education have focused on intent to persist in STEM, attitudes towards STEM,inventor identity, teamwork, and collaboration skills, but further research is needed to explorehow to cultivate confidence and minimize

, especiallyamong engineering students. Research highlights the influence of fear of failure on students,particularly women, pointing to factors like self-efficacy, gender role conflict, and the learningenvironment's perceived nature [12,13]. The intergenerational transmission of fear of failure [14]and the dual role of this fear as both a hindrance and a motivator [15, 16] emphasizes thecomplexity of navigating failure in educational settings. The influence of educators' attitudestowards failure [17] further illustrates the need for pedagogical strategies that reshape students'perceptions of failure, promoting resilience and a success-oriented mindset.Risk-taking, as an integral aspect of engineering education, demands a comprehensive approachto encourage

EML can benefit FYE courses in diverseways: • Developing self-efficacy: FYE courses can incorporate EML, allowing students to identify opportunities, work collaboratively, and learn from failures, boosting their confidence and self-efficacy. • Building interdisciplinary connections: EML tasks can naturally weave in diverse disciplines, mirroring the interconnectedness of real-world challenges. FYE courses can leverage this feature to encourage students to appreciate the value of interdisciplinary thinking. • Fostering adaptability and resilience

More recently, Wheadon and Duval-Couetil (2018) created a “capital framework” thatoutlines categories of barriers that control access, participation, and persistence in technologyentrepreneurship. This framework moves beyond social and financial capital, to explore howhuman capital (e.g. education) and cognitive capital (e.g., self-efficacy) are also factors inviewing oneself as a technology entrepreneur.Women currently face negative stereotypes about their competence in STEM fields as well assimilar stereotypes about their entrepreneurial abilities (Gupta et al., 2009), leading scholars todescribe technology entrepreneurship as "doubly

engineering and students’ expected success inengineering were found to decrease over the first year of study for first-year engineeringstudents, especially for women students [19]. Reasons for these feelings could be related toidealistic expectations of college or engineering in general, more difficult assignments thanexperienced in high school, or comparing to peers in a high-achieving peer group. In addition,students’ self-efficacy decreased over the first year of study, particularly for women students.However, both men and women experienced similar decreases in their value-related beliefs ofengineering [19].Importantly, researchers suggest that the potential impacts of the decrease in these expectanciesand value-related constructs on students
