Having access to resources made them feelcompetent and confident in themselves in the present and in their future. Often studentsconflated competence with confidence, which we plan to discuss in a separate study, but ingeneral, students felt like competent learners. Therefore, they felt confident they can becomeengineers in the long run. Access to resources made sense as contributing factors to students’competence

results of UMBC’s programs are morethan just a result of coincidence, but a willingness to acknowledge the need for change, and thestrategic actuation of that change.The first step was identifying challenges within the existing culture. Thus, the campus cultureneeded to be defined prior to setting plans for change. This was done through severalconversations, meetings, and focus groups with all parties in order to develop a foundation ofunderstanding and acceptance. It should be noted that many of these conversations wereuncomfortable, but necessary for identifying root challenges within the institution.
