the student body is receiving an education that approaches critical thinking in aholistic manner (e.g., formulating problems, working in a laboratory setting, mastery ofgraphical/written/verbal communication). Institutions collect a series of assessments targetingthese individual student outcomes (SOs) with the goal of determining how well the student bodycan achieve the goals prescribed by ABET. This process provides a thorough overview ofstudent attainment in the SOs from the perspective of the institution and its individual faculty,but it lacks any substantive measure of student self-efficacy.Self-efficacy is a term used to describe how well an individual believes they can accomplish atask [1]. Self-efficacy in a higher learning setting

always align with their actual abilities. Additionally, the samplesize for both the 2023 and 2024 camps was relatively small, which may limit confidence of theresults. Further research with larger cohorts and more objective measures of learning outcomes,such as coding assessments or project evaluations, would provide a more comprehensiveunderstanding of the camp's impact.Future iterations of the camp could explore a hybrid approach, combining the strengths ofbreakout room interactions with opportunities for independent problem-solving. The surveyinstrument could be modified to evaluate self-efficacy, which began to become more central tothe camp’s primary goals. Additionally, tracking students' long-term engagement with STEMfollowing the camp

students whoderive a sense of self-efficacy from demonstrating their capabilities, while students not in thatcohort may experience discouragement due to their perceived lack of the necessary skill level.The primary consideration is that the educational environment should foster students' autonomousskill development and provide them with the requisite feedback to facilitate personal growth. Thestructure of the engineering curriculum is such that, for numerous courses, there are prerequisitecourses in which students must attain a specified grade to be eligible for enrollment in advanced-level courses. This structure is predicated on the principle of knowledge acquisition, wherein thegrade serves as a criterion, with students above the threshold
