] illustrates the concept of engagement as a complex interplay between social contextsand individual experiences. Engagement is portrayed as a consequence and a predictor ofsignificant academic, social, and emotional outcomes. In this conceptualization, engagementbecomes a crucial factor influencing the causal relationships between students’ individualexperiences and their behaviors in school and beyond [17].Figure 1: The Various Aspects of Student Engagement [16]As opined by Bandura [18], one activity cannot fully address the complex chain of the cognitiveprocesses that make up motivation. Self-efficacy, or the conviction that one can bring aboutpositive results through one’s own decision-making is a key motivator [19]. Self-efficacy affectspeople’s

These gender gaps in STEM interest and STEM-related careerssignal the need for broadening the participation of women and students of color in STEM fields[8]. There is mounting evidence of the impact of STEM enrichment programs on changingstudents’ attitudes toward STEM subjects, stimulating the interests of K-12 students, influencingstudents’ self-efficacy, improving retention for STEM in schools, and expanding students’ senseof STEM career options

literature has identified a wide range of factors that determine whether a community will be resilient. These include (with examples relative to this work), infrastructure (computing and internet), financial (wealth and employment), human and cultural (academic family expectation, food security), social (support networks), political (college governance), and the mental outlook of individuals (Patel, et al, 2017, NASEM, 2019). Resilience has been studied at scales ranging from individuals to broader communities, which highlights both internal and external supporting factors. Internal factors reside inside an individual agent and may be characterized by such psychological traits and skills as optimism, creativity, spirituality, humor, self-efficacy

More work on this construct in engineering education canhelp us better understand interest and its relationship to identity and persistence.Engineering performance/competence is also important to measuring engineeringidentity. For instance, Jones, Osborne, Paretti, and Matusovich (2014) found a positiverelationship between perceived ability and identity. As this area of research progresses,clear distinctions should be made between performance/competence and other similarconstructs in the literature such as self-efficacy. The significance of recognition in themodels of engineering identity points to a type of support that may be critical toengineering identity development. For example, role

Specifically, this project proposesthe STEM Engagement through Mentoring (SEM) model as a way to address the followingquestions:1) In what ways do fathers/mentors motivate students to become aware of, interested in, and prepared for STEM careers?2) To what extent does involvement in SEM shape the students’ STEM identity?3) What impact does working with the SEM program have on the self-efficacy of pre-service

In theory, SCCT aims to describe the intersection of self-efficacy beliefs, outcomeexpectations, and goals11. Self-efficacy, defined by Bandura, is one’s own belief about one’s ability toachieve a task12. This derives from four primary sources: performance outcomes, vicarious experiences,verbal persuasion, and physiological experiences. Self-efficacy is a task level theory; it is useful in classsettings where students can perceive separate domains

IntroductionDespite years of investments and resources devoted by the federal government and institutions ofhigher education towards broadening participation of underrepresented minorities (URMs) inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers, significant progress has not beenachieved. For instance, since 2000, underrepresented minorities’ shares in engineering andphysical science degrees have been flat despite a rapid increase in their representation of theoverall US population. In fact, even though URMs currently constitute 30 percent of the USpopulation, they account for only about 12.5 percent of baccalaureate degrees awarded inengineering1

Some correlation would seem to be prerequisitefor application of the survey response data to other teaching goals such as formative assessment,learner self-efficacy development, and course design evaluation. Another potentially interestingapproach would be to compare survey response data to an alternative assessment measure suchas the Statics Concept Inventory (Steif, 2005). This potential correlation could be interesting toexplore in the future.It is important to note that in this study, students were encouraged to use the survey as a tool toidentify focus areas for their exam preparation efforts. If students successfully followed thisadvice, then their exam scores should be generally higher than their survey scores

factors by Heilbronner [3]:ability, self-efficacy, educational experiences and interest. Engineering majors are more likely tograduate when they have good math preparation [4]. Less than optimal high school preparationhas contributed to early switching out of STEM majors, and this phenomenon is experienced at ahigher rate by students of color. These students have reported that they were underprepared andoverconfident in their college STEM courses. The disconnect was described by these students asbeing top of their class in high school to being the bottom of their college physics or math classes[5].

For example, students’beliefs about their own capabilities, or self-efficacy beliefs are important [4-9], and theycorrelate with retention in educational pursuits [10, 11].
