To create the model, we consulted the accreditation framework of theAccreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET), work assessment centers for managers,other competency frameworks [6], and faculty members at the Department of Engineering andNatural Sciences at the University of Tulsa.After consulting with advisors of the engineering department, definitions of each competencywere drafted and disseminated to the remaining engineering faculty for comment. Reactionswere uniformly positive, and while some definitions were modified based on faculty input nocompetencies

The ability for graduate trainees to develop self-efficacy in teaching (individual beliefs regarding influence on student learning) is critical,supporting their transition to an independent academic career [9]. Consequently, the outcomesof relevant professional development programs for graduate students have great potential toinfluence next generation teaching approaches, and subsequent innovation in undergraduateeducation [10].Interestingly, and of relevance to our current model, self-efficacy varies for graduate students indifferent disciplines. It has been determined that a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,Math) environment is a negative predictor
