µE StudentsWe have developed a five course minor in microelectronics for non-µE science and engineeringstudents who desire exposure and experience to the exciting world of nanotechnology. Webelieve that this minor may do more to increase the number of women students with engineeringexperience at RIT by utilizing the large number already enrolled in the College of Scienceprograms, as opposed to separate recruitment strategies geared solely toward engineering. Thisprogram is designed to provide basic knowledge to students from other engineering and sciencedisciplines interested in a career in the semiconductor industry that include design, manufacture,equipment, chemicals, and software sectors. The minor consists of five courses: three core

In line with this notion, womenpossess less self-efficacy than men which leads to lower self-assessment of their problem solvingskills and competence as future engineers12. The self efficacy of female students is related to theretention as freshmen and their persistence in engineering13,14.

past the middle of the semester, there wasnot enough time to accomplish all three tasks, and none of the submitted designs met the full setof design criteria. If the project had been introduced early in the semester as a required part ofthe curriculum, the students earning an A or B for the course would have submitted designswhich would have been more likely to meet the criteria.Freshman design projects are necessarily a gamble; students are asked to design a structure ormachine before taking any mechanical design courses, so the results are often strong in conceptbut weak in technical soundness. Clearly, juniors or seniors would have developed betterdesigns. However, by exposing freshmen to a design problem early in their academic careers

It is important to studyself-efficacy in engineering as it has consistently been found to predict academic performance[11], [12] and career choice [13], [14]. Self-efficacy has been studied as both a task-specific setof beliefs (e.g., academic self-efficacy) [12], [15]–[19] or as a task-general set of beliefs (e.g.,generalized self-efficacy) [10], [20]. In this study, we chose to use Sherer et al’s generalized self-efficacy scale due to the open-ended nature of the mental health assignment used in the study.Additionally, some researchers suggest that improving generalized self-efficacy will alsoincrease task-specific self-efficacy [10], [21].According to Sherer et al, generalized self

The authors made a compelling case for the need to cre-ate a positive campus climate for good teaching. Further research has shown that many facultywho attempt to implement research-based instructional practices (RBIS) stop using them whenthey encounter challenges or barriers.2 These include lack of class time, lack of instructor time,lack of rewards or recognition
