Self-efficacy has been extensively examined inresearch investigating career goals [9], [10] and has been noted as a critical factor for studyingindividual behavior [8], [10]. In entrepreneurship domain, self-efficacy has been contextualizedas entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) or an individuals’ self-perceptions of their skills andabilities related to successfully performing entrepreneurial tasks [11]–[13].Due to its specificity to entrepreneurship practice, ESE has been widely studied inentrepreneurship research when compared to general self-efficacy due to its impact of severalentrepreneurship-related attributes. Specifically, while several researchers have examined ESE asa

In an effort to increaseaccessibility to non-traditional students seeking to advance their career in Electrical EngineeringTechnology, a new online Electrical Engineering Technology program was recently launched.The development and delivery of the lab component of Digital Fundamentals, one of the coursesin this program, is presented. Several research questions were asked prior to and during thedevelopment of the program. These questions were as follows: i) Can online courses be deliveredwhile maintaining rigorous accreditation standards? ii) Can teamwork be encouraged andmaintained in an online setting? iii) Can the integrity of the assessment processes be preserved?And iv) can the pedagogical effectiveness of the lab

Inaddition, minority students who have had a mentor show greater success in academics.According to Chesler & Chesler [5] peer mentoring can provide a positive impact on engineers,and can provide both technical and psychosocial support. As the research shows peer mentorscan play a vital role in student success.Chesler & Chesler (2002) also note the importance of establishing mentor to menteerelationships early in a student’s academic career to increase student success. They also discussthe active role of listening and questioning to be a key aspect of effective mentoring. One of thefocal points at mentor training is effective listening and communication skills

Finite Element CourseAbstractOne of the ABET outcomes for engineering students is that they have the ability to apply engi-neering principles to solve problems. In addition, students should have the ability to analyze andsynthesize results that meet desired constraints within a problem. Early in a student’s career, asthey begin to acquire the analysis tools and methods, there may be few opportunities for appli-cation to real world projects with consideration for complex problems or situations. However,in the junior or senior level courses, students should be afforded more and more opportunities toincorporate engineering analysis, design and synthesis. An undergraduate finite element analysis(FEA) course provides an excellent opportunity to do so

Sax & Harper(2007) suggest that “the source of gender differences extends back into the pre-college years,when women and men develop different values, confidences, aspirations, and patterns ofbehavior” (Sax & Harper, 2007, 690). In order to understand the gender gap in STEM fields, it isimportant to understand the factors contributing to college major selection that begin to developwell before college enrollment. A large body of research has focused on the pre-college factorsand experiences that influence this gender gap in STEM. The majority of these influences fallwithin three main categories: academic and nonacademic experiences (Goldin et al, 2006; Grantet al, 2000; Whitt
