This theory has beensupported by multiple research studies, which have established a positive correlation betweenself-efficacy and career interests. [2][3][4]. SCCT asserts that self-efficacy acts as a driving forcefor career choice.To

Typical approaches includecoursework (e.g. Project Lead The Way), robotics programs (e.g. FIRST), STEM exposure days(e.g. STEM Career Day), hands-on outreach to local schools, etc. Indeed, approaches tomotivate often do not stop even when STEM students are on campus, with first-year disciplinarycourses including hands-on activities aimed at cultivating interest and motivation for that major.While education and exposure are important steps, many students in STEM areas still have littleidea of what would be a “typical day” for them at the workplace (once they graduate).Accordingly, the University of Akron has developed the
