Research on the difficulties students face regarding this topic focuses solely on 4-year university students, which neglects students studying this topic in alternative institutionslike community colleges. The one common link between research on university and communitycollege students is self-efficacy. This is rooted in the fact that many strategies to increasestudent interest, achievement, retention and persistence in both engineering and

for pre-service teachers, there was no direct measure of self-efficacy, although the investigatorspostulate that confidence is related to self-efficacy [1]. Another study found that there are manyfactors that may encourage or discourage pre-service teachers from implementing open-endeddesign activities during their teacher training [3]. Most commonly cited reasons for notincorporating such projects included lack of host teacher support [3]. It is suggested that usingopen-ended design projects to lead to more formal scientific inquiry may be beneficial for bothelementary students and elementary teachers who lack content knowledge in science [3]. Neitherof these studies directly evaluates the self-efficacy of pre-service teachers, although they

Traditionallyused measures of self-efficacy include The General Engineering Self-Efficacy Scale and theEngineering Skills Self-Efficacy Scale and both instruments have been proven reliable, valid,and useful in the assessment of undergraduate engineering students [23].Self-efficacy as an independent variable ESE has long been studied to determine its relation to retention, persistence, and overallsuccess among students in the field. Aleta [24] reported that students who judged their ownengineering backgrounds as strong and positive were more likely to perform well in engineeringprograms and on engineering exams, and their engineering self-efficacy was also shown to becorrelated with academic achievement.

Gateway courses to advanced study in engineering, such asCalculus II, have been historically perceived by students to be the most difficult [2]. Anecdotalreasons for this could include the complexity of the calculus curriculum, the amount ofbackground knowledge needed to keep pace with learning, and lack of time for conceptexploration and engagement during class. Studies have shown that self-efficacy is morepredictive of mathematics performance than prior mathematics experiences and measures ofmathematics anxiety [3], [4].Self-efficacy can be defined as an individual's belief in their innate ability to achieve goals, andis based on both skill mastery

Further, self-concept may positivelyinfluence self-efficacy.We hypothesized that BME students’ self-concepts and feelings of self-efficacy might relate totheir unusual career goals (relatively speaking, among engineering fields). We therefore soughtto explore BME students’ career self-concept as engineers and as clinicians, and the relationshipof those self-concepts to engineering design self-efficacy [5]. Both constructs are measured viainstruments that rely on self-declarations – also known as explicit measures. Self-declarations, orexplicit measures, of self-concept carry with them the concern of unreliability
