Students who believethey can learn (personal efficacy) and perceive their efforts to learn will result in desiredoutcomes (outcome expectancy) [18], [19] are more likely to report the use of self-regulatorystrategies associated with task orientation [23], [24].Self-regulatory strategies are important because they can be used by learners to manage theiracademic time on projects or tasks, prioritize and reflect on their progress towards learning goals,and seek help when experiencing difficulty [20].

Included amongstnumerous skills institutionally-identified as “fundamental” was programming, hence all SSoEengineering students – regardless of discipline – are exposed to edification in the basics ofprogramming.Associated programming curriculum developed for this sequence was heavily influenced by adesire to reflect the varying nature of programming applications throughout industry and theengineering profession. In other words, it is virtually impossible to expose students to all of thepossible programming “styles” and dozens of varying programming languages rampant in themodern work force. Accordingly, pedagogy throughout both ENGR 110 and 111 has beendesigned to expose students to multiple types

effectiveness of engineering modeling and design curriculum, it is important todetermine self-efficacy of both male and female students. In most of the engineering courses, thequality of students’ projects design is highly dependent on their design thinking and the cognitiveprocesses to reflect on their own designs during the process. One of the most used pedagogicalmodels for teaching modeling and design is through project-based learning (PBL). The logicbehind the use of PBL in design thinking is that students are exposed to the complex processes ofinquiry and learning that designers normally perform in a systems context. They make decisionsas they develop the project, work collaboratively with team members, and interact with theirpeers to complete

While this likely reflects the fact the differing rates ofimplementation of the course revisions in each of the disciplines during the time frame this datawas collected, differences in use of graduate teaching assistants in the labs and the varyingdegree of training they receive also may be contributing to this behavior. Data collected thisyear, after full implementation of content revision, should provide a clearer picture of studentperformance.ConclusionTraditionally
