dropoutrates and improving student success.Keywords: AI, data mining, dropout, engineering, first-year students, higher educationIntroductionOver the years, many studies have been conducted to understand why students leave theirstudies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplinesprematurely. Research has delved into sociocognitive factors that play a critical role in studentpersistence in university. For instance, sense of belonging [1, 2], self-efficacy [3, 4], identity[5, 6], and intrinsic motivation [7], which are vital to student persistence in university. Forinstance, Andrews et al. [8] researched how the incorporation of makerspaces impactsstudents' self-efficacy and sense of belonging concerning design, engineering

No statisticallysignificant differences were found based on gender or ethnicity, intersectional relationships werenot explored. The increase in self-efficacy seems to be directly related to the teachingexperience, a key part of the “performance outcome” measure of self-efficacy theory [41] inwhich having positive mastery experiences in a given topic increases your self-efficacy in thatspace.The second article presented a case study focused on a Latina CS transfer student (Juliet)attending a Hispanic Serving Institutions, who almost left CS due to “ability hierarchies” sheperceived within her introductory CS course [43].

Intent to persist can be examined in a temporal manner, looking at short-term, degree attainment, and long-term commitment [31]. Example, “I intend to attend graduate school in STEM.” 6. Self Awareness - Self Awareness represents the extent to which one can identify and articulate personal values and professional values, accurately assess strengths and limitations, and view challenges with a growth mindset. Self- awareness plays a critical role in how students learn and develop as STEM professionals [32]. 7. Self-Efficacy - Perceived self

General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES) The NGSES measures the student’s attitude towards their own sense of efficacy.13 Forexample, it tries to capture how easily they may give up or how persistent they see themselves asbeing, and whether they see themselves as someone who usually succeeds or not, or who seeksout challenges or not. A sense of self-efficacy is critical to moral development, because it iscritical to actually following through with moral actions. A person who has a keen sense ofethics will not be an effective ethical actor unless he or she also has a sense that his or her actionscan make a difference and unless he or she will have the perseverance to follow through evenwhen obstacles are encountered.

Except for interactions with teammates, all behavior metrics were positively andsignificantly linked to the EI dimension that measured how much they were perceived as a goodengineer by their professors and peers. Similarly, when a student was perceived as a goodengineer by their peers, he or she tended to do a better job keeping the team on track (B.2), at asignificance level of 0.001.

After the RET program, teachers were also required to translate their researchexperience into new curriculum modules. The RET program is also mutually beneficial to the USsemiconductor industry and teachers. It benefits the industry by encouraging teachers andstudents to become familiar with new technologies. Teachers gain from enhanced self-efficacy atthe same time [4].However, it is challenging to measure the progress of teachers in acquiring semiconductorknowledge. In contrast to other aspects of

The program's micro controllers’ curriculum was used to test students’ capabilities for learning CT concepts, the program was translated into Arabic, and its schedules were adjusted to ensure that these changes did not alter the study significantly. Pre- and post-program self-efficacy surveys measured students' comprehension of CT concepts, but because this was the first time Kuwaiti students were introduced to this type of assessment, the students were confused about some of the concepts. Additionally, the students' acumen for the survey was highly influenced by their culture. Despite
