It must be understood that, by necessity, knowledge of these standards andprograms must be communicated to school counselors to increase student awareness andaccessibility. Schools advocating for these programs have indicated their commitment to studentpreparation for STEM careers and school personnel should understand the mechanisms by whichthese programs do so.Research questions.

these fields.Lack of Confidence: Many female students are faced with the constant battle of self-doubt. Are they reallycapable of being in STEM? Do they belong with the other students? Universities have alreadystarted to look at these problems. A study was performed focusing on achievement goals andhow they affect women in engineering as well as their perspectives on courses and experiencecompared to male students. The achievement goal theory is that those with low competenceperceptions usually take on the avoidance achievement goals that avoid failure rather than focuson success. The two types of competence perceptions investigated were self-efficacy andperceived ability. The study was conducted to see if women in a freshmen engineering

Reviews by Jacobi43, Roberts45, and Crisp and Cruz44 have yieldedsimilar characterizations to those offered by D’Abate et al. and Eby et al., though all agree that itis difficult to reach a unified definition or a quantitatively validated framework, even within asingle domain such as higher education.

Mastery goal orientation has been associated with positive outcomes such as self-efficacy,persistence, preference for challenge, and self-regulated learning, whereas performance goalorientations has been associated with maladaptive patterns of cognition, affect, and behavior 9

Resilience is a multidimensional construct [12] that is defined differently depending onthe context in which it is investigated. For example, in a study of how children developresilience, Maclean [13] discussed a wide range of factors including self-esteem, self-efficacy,locus of control, initiative, faith and morality, trust, affection, safe environment, autonomy,identity, and more.

Unfortunately, the lack of response from uninterested facultyprevents us from characterizing the differences between this population and those willing toimplement the intervention.

An analysis of pre-college extracurricular activities and their mapping to engineering majors showed that traditionaldisciplines, such as MechE and EE, had more students tinkering with electrical or mechanicalcomponents outside of school prior to entering college[8]. When girls are not part of extracurricularrobotics programs, they miss vital opportunities to develop tinkering self-efficacy. If we can attract moregirls to participate in pre-college robotics, we may open a pathway for these students to developattitudes and self-beliefs that lead them to join majors with lower representation of women [6].Critical Engineering

Social belonging relates to positive social interactions with peers, faculty,and campus community, whereas academic belonging relates to academic performance,academic self-efficacy, curriculum motivation, and perceptions of belonging within aprofessional discipline [4, 5]. SB is, therefore, one of the main contributors to students’ academicsuccess, persistence, and overall well-being. The literature reports that the lack of SB isperceived differently by different student groups and is critical for underrepresented students(e.g., first-generation and low socioeconomic status) to persist in college after the first year ofstudy [6].

Permissive parents indulge child autonomyover behavioral regulation, while uninvolved parents provide general neglect and disengagement.Several research studies have examined the relationship between parenting styles and career-decision making and career self-efficacy (Guay et al., 2003; Sovet & Metz, 2014). In another line of research, Kincaid et al.
