Is the discipline I have selectedthe right choice for me? 3. What career opportunities are available for engineers in my chosendiscipline? Since the evening students have less options without starting over, they generally donot explore the second goal as much.Some additions and changes have been focused on broadening student perspectives and givingstudents tools to understand the curriculum and increase persistence which in turn improvesretention.

. These results will inform future data collection and analysis as we return to in personlearning to better distinguish the impacts of exam and learning formats on diverse students’anxiety and academic performance.IntroductionThe role of anxiety on performance of mathematics has been explored by many researchers overthe years. Numerous studies have correlated increased anxiety levels to more frequent errors incomplex math problems [1–4]. This led to the concept of processing efficiency theory, whichsuggests that anxiety occupies some of the “working memory” that an individual has forperforming mental calculations, leading those with higher anxiety to have less available mentalresources to perform the task and thus perform poorly.

As undergraduate studentsprepare for careers that will involve solving complex problems requiring input fromheterogeneous domains, they need practice working in interdisciplinary teams.

This connection between a parent and their child has the potential topositively influence their career path. Specifically, mothers are shown to play an especially largerole in their child’s interest in a STEM career [2]. Due to this connection, parents’ perception ofSTEM could be a valuable tool in encouraging students to consider pursuing STEM, regardlessof the parent’s occupation. The demand for STEM workers is growing and understanding whatparents’ opinions of STEM are could provide a resource to fill those needed roles [3].In this study, we focus on how parents, who send their children to a STEM summer camp viewSTEM.

A person’s self-efficacy isimportant because it affects their attitude and behavior. Those with high self-assurance have astrong belief in their abilities. When encountering an obstacle, they will see it as a challenge tobe conquered and will continue to persist in overcoming the problem. They set challenging goalsfor themselves and will put forth increased effort to achieve them. They are able to recover theirsense of efficacy quickly after setbacks and failures [2

Indeed, the importance and the amount of homework that students should beassigned have been debated for more than 100 years [1].Whether assigning, collecting, and grading homework enhances learning or not remainscontroversial to this day. Results of many studies disagree [2] - [13], [14] - [16]. It is argued inthe literature that these disagreements arise because the methodologies used are very, verydisparate; that students cannot be treated as objects that are identical; that, indeed, theirindividual characteristics, beliefs, motivations, psychological predispositions to learning varywidely; and that the academic traditions and standards of the schools that students came fromvary a lot as well.
