of the sites of this inquiry that are themselves theoretically important: theinstitutions‟ (1) approach to engineering education and (2) commitment to gender parity. Inengineering education, the pedagogical debate revolves around the sequencing of “learning” and“doing” engineering and is succinctly articulated in MIT‟s emblematic motto: mens et manus,mind and hands.iv Pedagogical models focus on the sequence of training minds and hands.Engineering education at MIT and UMass begins with the premise that one must learn (science)before one can do (engineering), “learn then do.” Smith and Olin, by contrast, begin with thepremise that it is best to “do and learn” (science and engineering) at the same time.v Althoughboth MIT and UMass have long

effective mentorship and social support tracks directly onto gender, ethnic, race,and class differences. With this contingency in mind, the measurement of self-efficacy can betied to a much larger social project. Most suggestively, Jaffee and Riley draw our attention tothe fact that it is in leaving engineering that some women express agency. We certainly need notaccept as final or desirable the departure of these young women from STEM fields, but if we areto understand the complex relationship between identity, self-efficacy, and equitableopportunities in STEM disciplines, such broadened definitions of what counts as self-confidenceand self-determination will be vital.
