engineeringstudents. Some evidence suggests that social messages affect women more than men. Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.

However, the above team-based and research-based laboratoryexercises can be very instrumental in improving the student learning of the subject matter.Especially, the engineering design courses are increasingly being recognized and taught as ateam process with multi-faceted socio-technological dimensions.Fig. 2.

Team dynamics, particularly in terms of communication, may be affected by cultural norms and the technology associated with virtual teams. Engineering principles never change, but the context within which engineering challenges exist differs by geography, culture, etc., and this affects problem framing, design. constraints, and deliverables.

engineering design process into their classrooms. Teachershave to apply and be selected to participate in the CEEMS program. In order to apply, theyneeded to teach science, math, technology, or engineering at the middle school or high schoollevel and teach in one of the program’s 14 partner school districts. Approximately 20 newteachers are selected to a new cohort each year, based on district recommendations and ascreening process designed to identify if the program is a good fit for applicants. This paperfocuses on the first two cohorts of teachers participating in CEEMS. Cohort 1 teachers startedthe program in June 2012 and completed the program in May 2014.

Wade et al.determined that the choice of science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) wasdirectly influenced by high school math achievement, the intent to major in STEM, and a strongsense of self-efficacy related to mathematical achievement.3 Race and gender have also beenextensively examined as factors correlated with students’ choice of
