Itenables the development of students’ engineering skills providing real-world applicability totheoretical engineering concepts. Despite the significant role of engineering in preparing studentsfor their future careers, educators have faced multiple challenges because of technologicaladvancements and societal developments [2]. Such challenges are related to being out-paced bynew advances of new

This is particularly important with the recent impacts of thepandemic on the national economy, the changing landscape of the job market, as well as the globaleconomic crisis.

feels they have in the relevant environment), and relatedness (sense of social connection and support within the relevant environment). In sum, research regarding the self-determination theory would suggest that both perceived success and the sense of support in the form of a caring instructor would predict overall motivation or empowerment as described in the MUSIC model. The usefulness factor in the MUSIC model suggests that motivation increases when students perceive the utility of their academic work toward earning their degree or their future career. The utility of their work can be in the short term, such as needing to pass a required course, or in the longer term, such as the value of learning information relevant

The goal of this larger study isto determine if project-based learning influences a student’s engineering self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is defined as a person’s perceived ability to perform a task [6]. The researcher’sexpectation is that a more hands-on experience through project-based learning will lead to animproved self-efficacy among the students which will better prepare them for a career aftergraduation.

after struggling in asingle course or exam, believing that they would continue to struggle in future courses and not perform atthe levels required (Seymour & Hunter, 2019). These students often still met the requirements for theirprograms but felt as though they did not belong in their STEM program due to their beliefs about their 4abilities (Seymour & Hunter, 2019). In a report by Cabell (2021), it was shown that students with a highercareer search self-efficacy were more likely to persist in an engineering major. This report illustrates thatif a student has a lower career search self-efficacy, they may believe that they are being excluded fromengineering because they do not fit the
