translatedto action as part of a written student development plan with next steps, major milestones, andcontinuous feedback.Program AssessmentWe strive to execute an agile, build-test-build paradigm, where we continually evaluate our trainingmethodology and systems for student support. We do this through qualitative and quantitativeassessments of workshops and training. Through surveys we analyze student engagement, researchoutputs, and self-assessment (e.g., imposter syndrome, self-efficacy, confidence, belonging) whichare indicators of the effectiveness of programs of this nature 7,11 . These surveys are administered atthe beginning, middle, and end of the program so that fellows can see their growth real-time.Finally, we track longitudinal student

employment may not provide them with the relevant experience employers arelooking for. The Office of International Student & Scholar Services at Florida InternationalUniversity reported a total of 2,738 international students, out of which 57% are at theundergraduate level. The lack of self-efficacy was also exhibited in some of the responses, as itseems students are afraid of the course load. One student explains: “I think the program is verychallenging and intimidating; I wanted to apply but I do not know if I have the ability to do it.”Another respondent describes that being that it is a STEM degree, students need to be well-disciplined to manage this heavier course load and thus suggesting that it is not for everyone.Others expressed “being

There is no doubt, however, that learning through hands-onexperience is an effective method of retaining information. Undergraduate students in this digitalage have grown up with technology and come from an education system that encourages criticalthinking, hands-on learning, teamwork, design skills, problem solving, and experiential learning[1]. Most students today are visual and interactive learners, and research in educational theory andcognitive psychology shows that this type of learning is one of the most effective methods forteaching students of all ages how to

Villanueva et al. [1] created a validated instrument to explore the perceptions of engineeringundergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty about HC, how it is defined, received, andresponded to. As explained in prior work a validated instrument (UPHEME) [1] to measure theHC in engineering was created. With this instrument, four factors were identified: HiddenCurriculum Awareness (HCA) which is a factor by which information being communicated isdiscerned; Self-efficacy (SE) that serves as an igniter towards

Miyake et al. 4 looked at how value affirmation had a strong effect on decreasing theachievement gap in college STEM classes. Additionally, a study from Harvard Kennedy Schoolof Women and Public Policy Program found that female students exposed to female faculty hadincreased self-identification with the STEM field and a greater sense of self-efficacy in pursuing acareer in STEM with no negative effects to their male counterparts

, 2013 [3]) sums up the status of K-12education in the US. Several programs have been launched aimed at remedying this situation.Project-based active learning opportunities have been empirically determined to be effective in studentengagement and learning (Prince 2004 [4]; Thomas, 2000 [5]). Project-based learning environmentscan be designed to enhance teamwork, communication skills, understanding of application of STEM inreal life, and self-efficacy. Unfortunately, schools that primarily serve under-represented groups oftendo not have the resources to provide such learning environments. Simply stated, there is a longer-termneed to have more students target STEM related careers, and the best way to do this is via engaginghands-on project-based

their careers. Outcome expectations are defined as “beliefsabout the outcomes of various courses of action” [15, p. 458] and differ from goals, which arerelated to one’s intentions to pursue a course of action. For example, a student might have aparticular career interest in an engineering field (e.g., civil engineering, environmentalengineering, etc.) because she has a particular outcome expectation (e.g., solving societalproblems). Outcome expectations have been important in several frameworks used to understandstudents’ career choices and pathways. It is a key feature in social cognitive career theory [16],[17] and expectancy-value theory [18]. In social cognitive career theory, outcome expectationsalong with self-efficacy beliefs and
