changes in students' innovativeattitudes. The results showed a modest increase in innovation self-efficacy post-intervention, butno significant changes in innovation interests or career goals. Additionally, the study compareddata from 2021 and 2022, indicating that while there was no notable impact on innovation self-efficacy from enhanced mentoring, there were increased levels of product and process innovationin the 2022 cohort. Our pilot study acknowledged limitations such as the optional nature ofmentor meetings and the fact that identifiers were not collected so paired comparisons of pre andpost ISE could not be made. This is important because different numbers of students completedthe pre and post-surveys.The updated curricular intervention

The low level of scientific and technological literacy in our society is deplorable, and the trickle of talent flowing into careers in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences from all segments of society is deeply disturbing.

For example, severalstudies have considered student’s feelings about performance in courses or career outcomes.Lukes and McConnell [1] found that high performing students tend to be more motivated byavoiding a negative emotion than by approaching a positive emotion. Lockwood et al [3] studiedhow students’ perspectives on performance affects what type of role models can impact theirmotivation. Students focused on avoiding negative outcomes are more motivated by negativerole models to avoid, while students focused on pursuing positive outcomes were moremotivated by positive role models.This study presents the results of a survey that was given to Thermodynamics I students
