However, these two goals were significantly lower by the end of thesemester, indicating that they decided that it was not so important if people thought they wereweak students. They may also have become more willing ask for help.For the spring 2010 students, significantly higher ratings were seen for the Academic Efficiencyand the Mastery Goal Orientation constructs. This suggests that these students gainedconfidence in their ability to master difficult work, to study more effectively and in theiracademic self-efficacy

These benefits are especially meaningful in the case of developingunderrepresented or minority students [4], [5], [6].

Approaches to academic literacy encompass the development of self-evaluation, self- regulation, metacognitive skills, self-esteem, and self-efficacy as a writer.

, can lead to deficit-based thinking and discriminatory behaviors [11], [13]–[15].The ideology of meritocracy also perpetuates inequities in engineering through its reliance on theconcept of “merit” to compare individuals. “Merit” is often defined as synonymous with “talent,”“achievement” and/or “hard work” [3]–[6]. The logic of meritocracy suggests that individualswho possess more “merit” deserve more rewards and opportunities [2]–[6]. However, evaluating“merit” is not a straightforward process. Attempts to do so have often reproduced existinginequalities. For instance, standardized tests such as the SAT have historically been used as aproxy measure for student merit in the context of seeking admission to selective colleges [3], [5],[6
