interpersonalskills are less likely to pursue a career in engineering (vs. in a non-engineering field) thanstudents with lower self-confidence in these skills [6, 10]. However, only one of the abovestudies [9] investigated the connection between engineering undergraduates' self-efficacy in theircommunication skills and their perceived importance of these skills directly, despite a suggestionfrom Riemer [4] that they might be related. Further, none of the above studies developedinstantiated items with which to measure communication skills. They instead relied on genericterms such as verbal communication skills, written communication skills, or presentation skills,suggesting that engineering students may not have a true understanding of what is involved ineach

attempts to correct minority underrepresentation in the engineering disciplines,educational researchers, cognitive psychologists, and scholars in related fields have since the1980s developed many studies centered on the notion of student self-efficacy. 1-6 These studiesseek to measure the degree to which under-represented minority or otherwise marginalizedstudents experience a sense of self-confidence or feeling that they are able to counter "barrierconditions." Those conditions might include discrimination or other challenging social andintellectual situations encountered in college. While such studies are certainly preferable to adenial of differences between minority and majority experiences, they intentionally or otherwisesupport the notion

Throughout the study, we use five different data collection techniques: (1) aninventory of the types and frequency of communication instruction and assignments through acontent analysis of syllabi; (2) two online student surveys, one administered at the beginning ofthe students’ undergraduate career and one given before graduation, to measure self-efficacy forcommunication; (3) a faculty survey to gauge the value instructors place on communication, aswell

Communication and technicalskills were frequently included as an area of improvement, along with motivational and identity-related constructs such as identification with engineering and self-efficacy for professionalbehaviors.

In addition, GTA self-efficacy, which involves “beliefs in one’s capabilitiesto organize and execute the courses of action required to produce given attainments” [10], hasalso been the subject of research [11-12].

These types of mixed approaches work to evaluateconcepts such as emotional perception but then add in scales such as happiness and stresstolerance [6].Pérez [14] defines the difference in emotional intelligence not by the approach of the model butby the distinction of concept. This concept leads to trait EI, also known as emotional self-efficacy and ability EI, also known as cognitive-emotional ability. Pérez argues that thedifference between mixed and

perceived utility of differentinstructional strategies, on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being the most useful. The results of thisstudy show that students perceived the lecture format (3.76) and feedback on reports (3.71)among the most helpful of the instructional strategies implemented. This may be because thelecture used exemplars of student work to model good communication skills. The use of peermodels may have contributed to students’ motivation and self-efficacy (Schunk 2007).Additionally, the lecture, which was integrated into the engineering course and delivered by theengineering instructor, may have provided students an opportunity to see connections betweenunderstanding of content and expression of that content.

gender and ethnic differences in STEM participation (Eccles, 2005). Theyhypothesized that educational, vocational and avocational choices would be most directly relatedto person’s expectations for success and the value they attach to the available options. TheEccles’ theory suggests that choices to engage in activities are shaped by both competence andvalue beliefs. Competence is about acquiring skills and applying them. Competence beliefs havebeen studied more widely than value beliefs among K-12 and engineering students. They aremostly based on the self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1977). Self-efficacy is enhanced by positivefeedback, better performance, and social comparisons. Value beliefs, on the other hand, have notbeen that well studied
