recorded during their classroom activities, and alsointerviewed about their participation at the end of the semester. The recorded and transcribedinterviews are the primary sources of data for this paper. During the semi-structured one-on-oneinterviews, students were asked approximately 20 questions regarding interest, identity, self-efficacy, and their relationship to their undergraduate ambassadors. These interviews typicallylasted 10 - 20 minutes. In this study, we focus on two questions asked, in which students ratedtheir enjoyment and perceived success in engineering: 1) Think about yourself doing engineeringin STOMP. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how much doyou like doing engineering? and 2) Think

Finally, she reported that student interest in coursematerial increased slightly for male students following the implementation of E3s, butsignificantly for female students. She cites this as an important finding since interest in a topichas been correlated with students’ self-efficacy, which in turn relates to persistence rates inengineering, a field which fails to retain female students at the same rates as male students [34].Use of real-world examples with sociotechnical integrationDuring our search of the literature, the work of Andrade and Tomblim emerged as a case studyon the use of real

Inthese courses, students typically enjoy a single hands-on project while learning aboutmanufacturing. Students have generally responded positively to adding Arduino into thecurriculum, with high levels of self-efficacy in basic mechatronics projects [2].

learning and development [1]. Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering

This is because the model ismeant to be transcendent of location and context.Furthermore, certain exclusions to the data gathering and literature review were made: ● This project is focused on comparing programs; therefore, the individual experience is not as important as the group experience. This means that we excluded components of these skills that relate to the self (efficacy, comfort, confidence, etc.) ● We are using the community-centered framework, which means student motivation is not a major part of this study.

The key predictive elements in SCCT include self-efficacy (confidence inone’s ability to successfully perform a task), outcome expectations (beliefs about theconsequences of performing specific behaviors), and contextual factors (environmental supportsand barriers). Regarding the latter, contextual factors, SCCT posits that these factors can eitherenhance or constrain educational and career progress (Lent, Brown & Hackett, 2000). To date,limited attention has been given to examining the impact of barriers such as institutionalstructures and STEM departmental climate on the mental health of women in STEM and in turnon STEM persistence.

Similarly, studies inmathematics have examined how preservice elementary teachers learn to facilitate argumentationdiscussions over time [30] or as they respond to students’ incorrect responses to problem-solvingtasks [31].Regardless of field—science, mathematics, or engineering—this practice is one that is complexand requires sufficient time and learning opportunities in order for teachers to achieve mastery[20, 29, 32
