designed to positively impact the retention of engineeringmajors in early career engineering courses. We build on prior work in this area through our focuson two important aspects of classroom instruction: classroom community and relevancy. In thistwo-year project, faculty from engineering and science education have teamed together to design,implement, and study a number of interventions related to classroom community and relevancy.As proxies for retention, we used three measures to examine specific constructs: engineeringidentity, engineering self-efficacy, and sense of community. In addition, we used the COPUSobservational protocol to examine instructional differences between treatment and controlcourses.In the first two iterations of the

These mixed results indicate that a deeper understanding is neededabout the factors influencing the development of innovativeness in engineering students.Recently, two constructs have received special attention with regards to engineer innovativeness:empathy and self-efficacy, i.e. feeling and understanding the experiences of others and believingin one’s own ability to perform tasks. Research suggests that empathy in engineering and designcomprises of intrinsic skills, observable actions, and a holistic mindset [4], and can helpdesigners understand and care

The presenters have experience of implementing theseweb-based tools in instructional technology and engineering courses at Arkansas TechUniversity and will cover case studies highlighting implementation of flipped instruction incollege level courses. An important element of implementing flipped instruction in classrooms is to assess itsimpact on student learning outcomes and their self-efficacy. The self-efficacy construct is usedas a measure of students' self-judgment that reflects what students believe they can do with theskills they possess. The presenters will introduce the audience to approaches that can help themdevelop instruments to measure self-efficacy of students in their flipped courses and compare theresults with lecture

Moreover, laboratory activities canmotivate students to learn more about chemical concepts [4]. For engineering majors, situatingthese activities in authentic practice strengthens the connection between the domain knowledgeof chemistry and its application in everyday work. Such activities target student retention byfocusing their work on authentic collaboration and learning chemistry in context, whichleverages student interest in order to build personal identity with being an engineer as well as thenecessary self-efficacy for persisting with challenging coursework [5]-[6].In this paper, we present results from usability

For example, after gaining entry into medical school, astudent may have difficulty completing the required coursework. He may also conclude that thework conditions and rewards available as a medical doctor suit him less well than he initiallyanticipated. These learning experiences may incite the student to revise his self-efficacy beliefsand outcome expectations, leading to a shift in interest and goals (selection of a new career path).Other instruments based on SCCTWhile there are instruments that measure student outcomes (content knowledge, reasoning skills,psychosocial attributes) after participating in various disciplines of STEM fields (Minner

The review of the information gathered with these studentsis particularly critical in our main project since these students have a strong orientation towardSTEM. Students had a choice to participate in up to two subjects out of five available: physics,mathematics, biology, chemistry and computer science. We administered a science andtechnology questionnaire and 657 students out of 721 who participated in the competitionresponded.

Second,students are more likely to select math and science courses when they are confident in theirability to do well in these courses. In other words, students with greater self-efficacy in scienceand math are more likely to choose these courses. Third, the value a student places on particularschool subjects are important for their career trajectory. Finally, the perception of strong socialsupport for achievement is vital when a student is considering a career choice, which isparticularly true for females [7].Through the use of implicit and self-report measure, it was found that elementary school femalessupported the stereotype that math is for males, demonstrating

spanning 6 decades from engineering programs, Geisingeret al. [8] identified five factors that contribute to poor retention rates in engineering nationwide.These factors include classroom and academic climate; grades and conceptual understanding;self-efficacy and self-confidence; interest and career goals; and race and gender. Of primaryconcern are both discipline-specific skills and knowledge (e.g., mathematics), as well as moregeneral, non-discipline-specific self-efficacy and metacognitive knowledge and skills.Metacognition, often defined as “thinking about thinking,” is primarily about knowing,understanding, monitoring, and controlling one’s cognitive processes, leading to altered andideally more productive behaviors [9] – [13].

While ability has beenpositively associated with college persistence, commitment to the goal of completion is the mostinfluential factor in determining persistence [22]. A feeling of success and congruence in theacademic environment may lead to increased motivation to study, which may lead to betterperformance, increased academic self-efficacy, and institutional commitment [23]. Learningcommunities are a way to combine academic and social aspects of an institution to help increaseacademic performance and retention, particularly in the transition from high school to college[24].

to their students formany years. Some individual teachers may find it challenging to engage in robotics-aided STEMeducation due to their lack of required TPACK self-efficacy (see [5,9] for details about TPACKself-efficacy). Moreover, all robotics-aided STEM lessons are not the same, i.e., their difficultylevels may vary due to variations in the required TPACK. Specifically, while some lessons maybe more complicated from the design or programming (technology) point of view, others may becomplicated from the teaching, learning, or assessment (pedagogical) point of view, and theincorporation of robots (technology) may also impact the pedagogy. Thus, it is important toconcentrate on investigating the TPACK framework for individual teacher and

/perceived confidenceand interest/values in STEM has progressed over the past two decades, studies of students’motivational orientations (intrinsic versus extrinsic) in STEM are quite limited.Perceived confidence and self-efficacy strongly influence academic motivations [44] and serveas mediators of learning engagement and persistence [8]. As such, STEM educators areconcerned with how learners cultivate a strong sense of efficacy and expectations of success.Indeed, measurement of self-efficacy and perceived competence represents an area of notableprogress in STEM education research. Gendered patterns in learners’ perceived competence andself-efficacy within gender-role stereotyped domains such as mathematics and engineering arewidely reported [45
