While these two studies usedifferent variables to approximate students’ choice, the predictive utility of self-efficacy andinterest is strengthened when the variables are used together.Using this lens of parallel measures, this paper analyzes the content and year one implementationresults of a 9th-grade design curriculum intended to grow students’ self-efficacy, interest, andcareer choice for engineering.

Therefore, there iscurrently a lack of research investigating how students develop self-efficacy in relation to CADprior to their undergraduate degree.As there currently does not exist a validated scale to measure CAD self-efficacy, in this paper,we explore the related concepts of undergraduate engineering students’ initial 3D Modeling andEngineering Design self-efficacy before formal CAD instruction at the university level.Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy suggests there are four main sources of self-efficacy: masteryexperiences, social persuasion, vicarious experiences and physiological states [1].

Results from the Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (RM-ANOVA) demonstrated that participants reported higherperceived ability to engage in scientific learning processes (d = .17) and in science learningbehaviors (d = 0.15). Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Objective Self-efficacy is the judgement an individual makes regarding their ability to performvarious tasks and this judgement is domain and task specific (Bandura, 1977, 1982). Since theway in which people act, think, and feel, is a direct reflection of their own beliefs in theircapabilities, learners’ beliefs promote both engagement and learning (Linnenbrink & Pintrich,2003), as well as long-term achievement (Parker

help students develop a high level of design self-efficacy, the belief in one’s ability to complete engineering design tasks. Engineers problem-solve by practicing design tasks. As a result, design self-efficacy is a critical component of asuccessful engineer [1]. Preparing students to become successful engineers, in both industry andacademia, therefore demands that design tasks be taught to a level where students may obtainself-efficacy [2, 3]. The importance of design tasks has also been acknowledged by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This work seeks to measure theimpact of different variables on design self-efficacy, based on the specific project experiences ofthe students at the end of their two-semester

ways that make their success more likely [4].In engineering, there are different ways in which self-efficacy is measured. Three categories ofself-efficacy measures used are: 1) general academic self-efficacy, 2) domain-general self-efficacy, and 3) self-efficacy measures for specific engineering tasks or skills [5]. Generalacademic self-efficacy scales broadly assess engineering students’ beliefs in their capabilities toperform academically or perception of their competence to do the work [5]. The second, adaptedfrom general academic self-efficacy, domain-general self-efficacy asks students to rate theirgeneral confidence within a particular subject area of engineering [5]. Third, task- or skill-specific self-efficacy asks students to evaluate

Self-efficacy has a strong relationshipto both learning and achievements. As Mamaril et al. state, it is most effective to measure self-efficacy at both the general engineering field level and the specific technical skill level [9].Evaluating at these different levels yields a more comprehensive understanding of a student’sconfidence in their overall engineering abilities. A major contributor to a student’s self confidence in completing engineering tasks is theirperceived proficiency in technical skills. Usher et al. investigated students in
