Looking specifically at the eight dimensions of the PSRDM,the strongest correlations existed between volunteerism and how engineering students weightedthe costs and benefits of volunteering and how they saw their professional obligation to helpothers as engineers or through their profession; though these had only weak correlations (0.3).BackgroundEngaging in volunteer activities has been shown to be very beneficial to students, not only intheir development of personal values and self-efficacy, but also having positive effects onacademic performance measures1.

Deutsch, Herrmann,Frese, and Sandholzer4 found gender differences in students taking online exams. These genderdifferences were attributed to differences in computer-self efficacy, but they found thedifferences were reduced considerably after students had a single experience taking an onlineexam.

An interesting question that these results do not address is whether cross-national interactions led to any overall declines in non-US citizens’ self-efficacy or self-confidence about their CS knowledge and skills (as opposed to comparisons with one’s partner).With the exception of driving role, the lack of effects of partners’ national origin among UScitizens is also noteworthy. Any linguistic or cultural challenges that US citizens encounteredmay been balanced out by the benefits of potentially different perspectives that non-US citizensbrought to these collaborations.

One result obtained in the presentstudy that stands out due to its difference between male and female students is the question aboutstudents’ perceptions of having to constantly prove themselves for peer recognition, with womenindicating a higher agreement than male students. This echoes some of the participants fromMoore and Gloeckner [16], which mentioned having to prove themselves especially for malestudents.Our findings related to females perceiving gender

has drawn even more attention to theunderrepresentation of women in computing. Women currently comprise only 15.7% of computingdegrees awarded, a proportion that has been declining in the past three decades. Some researchersbelieve that this is due to the fact that women experience lower perception of self-efficacy andhigher perception of computer anxiety (Ahuja & Thatcher, 2005; Venkatesh & Morris, 2000;Whitley, 1997). Many female students believe that traditional approaches of teaching computerscience are boring and uninviting (AAUW, 2000; Margolis & Fisher, 2002; Ashcraft et al., 2012).Therefore, gamification can be a potentially promising approach to enhance the engagement andenjoyment of computer science students.

This was uniformly important throughout the faculty narratives. All faculty mentioned methods to increase student interest in the project/field and support their self-efficacy as researchers. Further, the student survey, regardless of student gender, emphasized the importance of mentor “personal consideration.” (3) Mentors should provide career support, particularly for female mentees. While all undergraduate students should receive some level of career support, the female students surveyed indicated this as the most important role of the faculty research mentor

The collaboration also benefited the non-engineering studentsby demystifying the field of engineering, potentially alleviating “imposter syndrome” bynormalizing team performance expectations, and providing some literacy of the engineeringdesign process. In the case of early childhood education students, these altered perceptions of theengineering discipline may have impact on their self-efficacy for teaching science andengineering (Maier et al., 2013; Kallery 2004; Watters et al., 2000); as such their teaching inthese two content areas may positively influence the perceptions of engineering by their futurestudents, particularly females and minorities.
