ofeffective engineering education. Hensel and Sigler (2007) discussed strategies for supportingstudents through structured programs, emphasizing the need for mentorship and academicresources [2]. Similarly, Myers, Byrd, and Hensel (2005) focused on designing first-yearprograms aimed at boosting retention and academic performance, including event-based learningcontexts like EngineerFEST [3]. Exploring students’ perceptions and self-efficacy in engineeringis crucial for understanding the broader impacts of such initiatives. Morris, Dygert, and Hensel(2020) linked students’ views of engineering as a career to their self-efficacy and grit, suggestingthat well-designed events can reinforce positive perceptions and career aspirations [4].Engineering

Engineering identity,a concept that describes how students understand themselves as engineers, has been argued to bea significant indicator of educational and professional persistence [10], [11]. Literature hasconnected a stronger engineering identity with higher retention rates, improved climateperceptions, and better experiences for underrepresented groups in engineering [12]. Scholarshave studied how engineering identity connects with self-efficacy, or individuals’ beliefs abouttheir own

The affective element of learning refers to student attitudes and mindsets thatcan influence their thinking and behaviors, ultimately impacting their learning and academicperformance.Learning and persistence in higher education, and engineering education specifically, areinfluenced by many internal and external factors [5], [6], [7]. For example, Geisinger and Raman[7] identify six factors driving students to leave engineering: classroom and academic climate,grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high school preparation,interest and career goals, and race and gender.

andhow students formed their attitudes toward entrepreneurship. What circumstances and factorsinfluenced the extent of their entrepreneurial intent? And what circumstances and factors influencedtheir choice of an entrepreneurial engineering major?Expectancy theory [2], applied to entrepreneurial intent, suggests that choice of an entrepreneurialcareer is a function of perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, and propensity to act [3]. Asubsequent study [4] validated this model and each of its three constituent components. Perceiveddesirability is the personal attractiveness of starting a business. Perceived feasibility is the degree towhich a person feels personally capable of starting a business, in other words the person’s self-efficacy
