Active learning pedagogy which places students at theepicenter of learning has been reported to aid in student engagement, retention, and workforcedevelopment. Also, the adoption of active learning strategies has grown in significance as ameans of improving undergraduate STEM students' educational experiences and academicsuccess. Moreso, this pedagogical approach attempts to increase involvement, foster self-efficacy, and inspire students in STEM fields. The experience during

Thestudents discuss personal reflections and complete a self-assessment of their learning during thesession. The students fill out a survey which asks them to score their skill levels on specific skillsthat were used during the session such as “Brainstorming,” “Sketching,” “Prototyping,” and“2D-Design: Illustrator.” For each skill, they rate their level on a 3-point Likert scale withanswer choices “Lacking

Expectancy-Value Theory, developed by JacquelineEccles, to understand the factors influencing students’ persistence in engineering. AsMatusovich et al. explains [6], Expectancy-Value Theory suggests that a student’s decision topersist is shaped by: 1) their expectancy or belief that they can succeed in engineering (i.e., “CanI do this?”) and 2) the value or importance they put on engineering (i.e., “Do I want to do this?”).Expectancy beliefs can include: - Engineering self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in one’s ability) - Expectations for success in engineeringValue beliefs can include: - Intrinsic interest (enjoyment of engineering activities or interest in engineering) - Attainment (importance of doing well in engineering in terms of one’s

In this study, we focus on fine-tuning our instructional interventions toincrease students’ sense of community. Results from this initial iteration reveal usefuldifferences in the role instructors and students play in the course as well as the impact thosechanges have on students’ sense of community. Over time, we believe an increase in a sense ofcommunity among the students will have a positive impact on both their engineering identity andself-efficacy, and thus their continuation as engineering majors, as they continue in theirprograms.References[1] Blickenstaff
