these beliefs are shaped by mastery experiences, socialpersuasion, vicarious experiences, and physiological experiences. In turn, these beliefs impactcognitive processes, motivational processes, affective processes, and selection processes [12].Related specifically to this study, self-efficacy can be explained as a measure of how confidentstudents are in their ability to complete their engineering coursework and become an engineer,with implications ranging from how they feel when they are working on their engineeringcoursework to whether or not they ultimately continue to pursue the field. Related to thephysiological experiences component of self-efficacy, stress can impact student’s self-efficacyand has been found to be a concern specifically

Texas A&M UniversityAbstractThis paper presents the progress made in the first two years of a five-year NSF ER2 (Ethical andResponsible Research) project on ethical and responsible research and practices in science andengineering undertaken at a large public university in the southwestern United States. Overallobjectives of the project include: 1) conduct a survey of incoming freshmen college students toassess their ethical research competency and self-efficacy at the beginning of their tertiaryeducation and during their senior-level capstone course; 2) evaluate the ethical researchcompetency and self-efficacy of university students and identify any significantly contributingfactors to develop an intervention plan to improve their ethical

The purpose of the study was to examine student andclassroom-level factors that influence course performance measured by course grade. This studyfocused on two engineering-related psychosocial factors: (1) engineering self-efficacy and (2)engineering sense of belonging, and three mathematics-specific psychological factors which werefer to as math motivators, (1) math interest, (2) self-concept, and (3) anxiety.

With that desire, we have reason to research if these project managementskills and concepts are being taught effectively enough to prepare students for senior-levelcapstone courses and future careers. Degree programs that do not heavily focus on managementprinciples may impact students' abilities to obtain manager-style roles. Outside the classroom,there are opportunities to obtain this experience, such as through internships and studyingabroad. Data collected stem from a self-efficacy questionnaire administered to 811 students andvoluntarily completed by 361.

This could suggest that these are less important within the Southeast Asiancontext. Data represented by Pintrich [20] align with the ‘Help-Seeking’ aspect, displaying asimilar alpha coefficient of 0.52. However, on the ‘Test Anxiety’ scale, there is a significantdifference between the study’s 0.56 and Pintrich’s 0.80. That could suggest that test anxiety is notimportant within this region or it has become less important over the last 30 years since theappearance of the MSLQ.

To investigate these components of thelearning process in engineering, we collected self-report measures of achievement goalorientation (motivation), general self-efficacy (motivation), and motivated strategies for learning(SRL) for 146 undergraduate engineering students in Thermodynamics.To better understand (1) the interconnected nature of these constructs for students and (2) theself-regulatory and motivational profiles of

While theauthors attributed this to a small sample size, both troubleshooting and the measure of self-efficacy primarily focused on data collection and documentation during experiments (Domain 2).We wonder if high self-efficacy related to Domain 2 might be a weaker correlate of learning thanother domains, in part because students may experience what scholars have named “deceptiveclarity,” a phenomenon in which students underestimate how complex something is based onhaving completed a simplified version of the task [9].

In contrast with other methods that focuson determining the factors (see, for example, [9], [16], [17]), the FET model aims to assess them[1]. Furthermore, the FET’s framework encompasses evaluating multiple dimensions influencingthe ToL. Specifically, the FET model's categories include transfer dimensions, achieved learning,and intent to transfer. The transfer dimensions are: 1.
