Communication and critical thinking, careerclarification and even further aspirations to continue to graduate school have been documentedbecause of a research experience for a student [2], [4], [5]. Another key and important element,especially at UMBC, is the impact on diversity. These experiences demonstrate increasing self-efficacy in students who are working to complete a STEM degree, especially women andmarginalized populations [5], [6], [7], [8].However, not all students have the chance or find themselves in a position to pursue such

2021 were given to women [3], but they constitute 16% of work-ing professionals in the field [4]. Additionally, Hispanic and Black populations are under-represented in the engineering/STEM workforce relative to the general workforce: 11% ofthe total workforce is Black, but only 5% of the engineering workforce, and 17% of the totalworkforce is Hispanic, but only 8% of the STEM workforce [3]. Addressing the issues thatcreate these disparities is multifaceted, but beginning with educational interventions for stu-dents that enhance their self efficacy for further pursuing engineering post graduate is a start.Prior research has indicated the need to increase self efficacy in engineering students, es-pecially from these diverse backgrounds, to help

factors by Heilbronner [3]:ability, self-efficacy, educational experiences and interest. Engineering majors are more likely tograduate when they have good math preparation [4]. Less than optimal high school preparationhas contributed to early switching out of STEM majors, and this phenomenon is experienced at ahigher rate by students of color. These students have reported that they were underprepared andoverconfident in their college STEM courses. The disconnect was described by these students asbeing top of their class in high school to being the bottom of their college physics or math classes[5]. Self-efficacy [6] is the belief by an individual that they have the ability to produce theoutcome expectancy. This can be described as an individual’s

Stacking multiple high-impact practices has been demonstrated to hold potential as a multiplier effect [13,4,14-15].Where experiencing a single high-impact practice is good, experiencing more than one can beeven better. In this study we ask, To what extent does stacking additional high-impact practiceson top of course-based PBL provide additional benefits for students? We examine this potentialvalue in terms of the range of benefits previously associated with PBL: developing professionalskills and mindsets, as well as building content mastery; improving self-efficacy and ownershipover learning; and career preparedness.

For instance, the nature of the research undertaken by undergraduates working oncapstone projects differs from that involved in study abroad opportunities. Students participating incapstone projects have reported the development of professional skills such as project management,teamwork, and communication abilities [12], [13]. Alternatively, undergraduates conducting researchabroad consistently demonstrate growth in areas like cultural awareness, emotional resilience, linguisticskills, and research self-efficacy [4], [14], [15].
