self-efficacy of users along with drawingability. Having a method to measure learner self-efficacy is intrinsic to understanding the process ofdrawing skill development.The absence of an instrument to assess drawing self-efficacy prevents usfrom evaluating the impact of the intelligent tutoring system on user’s drawing self-efficacy. Hence,there is a need for an instrument that assesses drawing self-efficacy to make sure that studentsare mastering sketching and thereby gaining skills that contribute to their success in engineering.In addition, it is critical to gauge the drawing self-efficacy of individuals to compare traditionalpedagogy with new teaching methods such as intelligent tutoring systems. Hence, the focus ofthis work was to define

The highest responders on the engineering skills scales greater than 4on a 5-point Likert Scale were grouped as high-engineering self-efficacy, or high-ESE, and compared tothose responders that scored less than 4 on a 5-point Likert Scale as low-engineering self-efficacy, or low-ESE.Student perceptions towards different design activities were also measured. To examine the reliability ofthe scales for engineering self-efficacy, rapid prototyping, CAD, and 3D printing, the set of questionsassociated with each scale were assessed using Cronbach’s alpha test

data set measures students’ social cognitions over the course of theSpring 2020 semester in a set of 8 engineering courses using the same group of students beforeand after the unexpected transition to remote learning.BACKGROUNDThis study seeks to determine if the sudden transition to remote learning impacted students’engineering self-efficacy and outcome expectations. If these social cognitions were impacted,then student’s performance, persistence, and approach/avoidance behavior may also be impacted.To understand the basis of the study, the following section reviews the relevant background onsocial cognitions.Social CognitionsBandura’s [2, 3] social cognitive theory postulates that the social cognitions of self-efficacy andoutcome

related problems. For students specifically, makerspaces provide opportunities for hands‐on experience in problem solving, design, prototyping, and manufacturing. Given the collaborative‐learning nature of makerspaces, and how prevalently they’re used by students, the question posed is how does makerspace involvement impact student performance. In this longitudinal study, student performance is qualified by experimental measurements of idea generation ability and engineering design self‐efficacy (EDSE). Method The data presented here is a part of a 5‐year longitudinal study (removed). In this paper we focus impact to idea generation.

Assessment included pre- and post-student self-efficacy surveys with three distinct areas of measurement: general self-efficacy, self-efficacy incourse outcomes, and self-efficacy in EM-related constructs.Preliminary data suggests that inclusive PSS activities resulted in positive student motivationalresponses comprising high levels of identified regulation and external regulation, with moderatelevels of intrinsic motivation.

. [15]We hypothesize that increased participation in co-curricular activities, especially engineeringstudent organizations, will provide positive experiences that will be a driving force to pursuemore activities and more responsibilities. The more students experience positive outcomes whenperforming responsibilities could lead to increased self-efficacy and increased academic success.[16] The compounding reward system proposes that participation in co-curricular activitiesincreases self-efficacy and academic success in college. Student GPA, time to degree completion,and internships will be used to measure student success. A survey and case study interview willbe used to assess self-efficacy.

given the NILA’s leadership framework and curriculum focus onthe development in these areas. The average mean for leadership self-efficacy increased from 4.0to 4.3. The increase was significant, and it shows that NILA had a measurable positive effect.Nevertheless, the effect may or may not be sustainable. Most of the change was explained by thelower values (pre-test minimum=2.6, post-test minimum=3.0), which is reflected in a smallerstandard deviation for the post-survey. This shows that the effect may be larger for those whocome in with lower self-efficacy than those who are already confident in their abilities. While thesample size was small, the EFA analysis is statistically significant to tentatively support ourhypothesis. However, this can
