The actualavailability of these funds ten years ago did not generate the faculty development envisioned.The fact that the resources are now limited, the college is moving to a 60-20-20 facultyworkload model, and an

resources. Engineering self-efficacy is emerging as a usefultheory in evaluating the confidence of students to pursue engineering related professions and theconfidence of teachers to teach engineering related content. In particular, Faber et al. [5] andYoon et al. [18] developed the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey and TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS) survey, respectively. Such surveys used in conjunctionwith outreach activities may help allocate time and resources to more influential activities. In summary, the literature provides valuable information about engineering education inK-12, including typical types of program offerings, what has been most effective, andsuggestions for assessment to help evaluate the
education experiences to enhance and develop the capstone design course. In 2015 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition. ASEE Conferences, June 2015. https://peer.asee.org/24428.[13] F. Mistree, Z.
