Design self-efficacy. This is inconsistent with prior studies inwhich identifying as a Man proved to be a significant predictor [2] or highly correlated toself-efficacy in the domain of engineering [5]. In recent years, much attention has been placed onincreasing representation and recruitment of women in applied sciences and engineering,examples of which include: hiring more women faculty members [10] and creating STEM clubsin high schools for woman-identifying students [14]. All-girl STEM extracurriculars haveenabled woman-identifying students to become more resilient to gender biases and stereotypes,in addition to collaborating with like-minded individuals [14].
