behaviors communicate agenuine investment in students’ personal and academic well-being, and they demonstrate awillingness to connect and work with their students [10],[11]. The second dimension includes aprofessor’s encouragement of questions and discussions as well as a student’s general feelingsabout the class.Rapport between professors and students is identified as promoting engagement [12]; motivationand satisfaction [8]; grades [13]; self-efficacy, i.e. a belief in one’s capabilities [14],[15];student success [16]; and, performance, persistence and retention in engineering [17],[18]. Onthe other hand, lack of such connection has been observed to contribute to loss of motivation andengagement [19], hence negatively impacting self-efficacy [20

entire class.Bergin and Reilly [12] examined 15 possible predictors, finding that student’s comfort level withprogramming and perception of their programming performance were the strongest individualpredictors. However, the perception of programming performance was surveyed in the secondsemester of the course, which would not permit early detection of high-risk students. Thecombination of students’ perception of programming performance, comfort level, high schoolmath score, and gender accounted for 79% of the variance in programming performance.Quille and Bergin [6] revisited that earlier work, confirming that high school math scores andstudent’s programming self-efficacy are significant predictors of success. They explored severalcombinations

. Details of the GradTrack structure arediscussed in the next section.GradTrack Program StructureFormatGradTrack is an academic-year-long program with monthly online meetings, four meetings eachin fall and spring semesters. Structuring the program to be fully online and incorporating virtualmentoring is a unique and strategic aspect of the GradTrack Program. While the practice ofonline mentoring – or e-mentoring – has existed for over 20 years [8], [9], [10], the COVID-19pandemic has led to the transition of on-campus student success and URM-focused programsinto a virtual setting [5]. Virtual mentoring has also been shown to increase STEM achievement,self-efficacy, and drive to persist in mentors and mentees in a recent study performed at

well as their beliefs about others’ behavior (i.e., do they believe that their friendsor family would seek help for themselves?). Finally, personal agency is a person’s evaluation ofwhether they will be able to seek help, given their beliefs about barriers and facilitators to seekinghelp and their self-efficacy beliefs (i.e., confidence in their ability to seek help). These sixcategories of beliefs are influenced by background variables such as demographic characteristics,culture, socioeconomic status, environment, and personality. A strength of the IBM is that it allowsfor identification of the beliefs that drive behavior.

Conclusion and Future WorkWe created an AR app to open up the “black box” of the SEM and allow students to investigatethe different components and functions of the machine. The app was piloted to a small group ofstudents in Spring of 2021. Students were given pre- and post- assessments to measure changesin their self-efficacy, willingness to re-engage with the content, and fear of making mistakes aswell as their conceptual understanding of the SEM. We found that students who used the AR appdid exhibit a statistically significant increase in willingness to re-engage with the SEM after thecourse. Learner feedback indicates

]. Outreach—specifically, STEM Outreach—is an informal, typically hands-onproject-based learning exercise performed by a STEM or STEM education expert to increaseknowledge of and interest in STEM disciplines [5], [6]. Research has illustrated the positiveeffects an outreach program can have on students, including a bolstered self-efficacy [6] andimproved knowledge of STEM disciplines [3].Although outreach programs have been used at all levels of pre-college education, researchsuggests outreach programs should target younger students, as high school and college agedstudents have already developed perceptions of engineering and their own identities [7]—manifesting itself as yet another barrier to underrepresented groups participating in STEM.Outreach

This study did not find gender or race to beassociated with students’ engineering leadership construct. Quantitative results overall have beeninconsistent on the effects of gender on engineering identity. While there has been evidence thatwomen engineering students are less likely to self-identify as an engineer [16], other findingshave suggested there is no difference between women and men in engineering identity orpersistence in engineering study [17], [18].Effects of social location on engineering (leadership

internships impact dimensions of the engineeridentity, including experimental competence (i.e., the ability to conduct appropriate experimentsand analyze and interpret the results). Experiential work experiences also enhance work self-efficacy, that is, “an individual’s perceived level of competence or the degree to which she or hefeels capable of completing a task” [12] (p. 602). Similarly, Ralph et al. [13] report one of thebenefits of practicum-education is “developing confidence” as an engineer (p.125). Several studiesalso suggest that co-curricular practice impacts students’ ethical skills and understandings.

In recent years,other successful outreach and educational activities implementing shake tables have shown greatimpact [4, 5]. A perfect example of this is the NSF-supported University Consortium onInstructional Shake Tables developed by Dyke et al. [6, 7]. By partnering with Quanser,bench-scale shake tables were deployed at universities across the country to provide studentsaccess to “hands-on” experiments [8].

limitedinteractions between mathematics and engineering departments, and these limited communalactivities can hinder students’ achievement. Students’ self-efficacy in mathematics has a strongrelationship with students’ mathematics achievement, and teacher interaction results in students’higher academic achievement [17].These three concepts prompted the inclusion of a mathematician in the project. The goal is toincrease students’ self-efficacy in mathematics and the transfer of learning from math toengineering. This goal will be achieved by including short mathematics pre-assignments with theSensors and Systems class, taught by an engineering faculty, that tie the mathematics utilized inthis engineering course to the content the students learned in their

inengineering education as engineering curriculum focuses primarily on the technical skills neededto be an engineer. One route to teaching these reflective skills is with self-assessment (SA). SAhas value in the classroom due to the learning benefits and skills it promotes, includingmetacognition and self-efficacy, while providing the student with a chance to reflect on their ownwork. SA has been used in a variety of settings with different methods of implementation but thereare only a few documented uses in engineering.

This body of work has indicated consistently that underrepresented children andyouth are less likely to develop STEM identities or pursue career pathways than non-minoritystudents, especially in the field of engineering [9], and the choices made by children, especiallyunderrepresented children, to pursue various STEM disciplines are strongly associated with theirperceptions of self-efficacy, competence, interest, social support, and the discipline’s costs andbenefits [10], [11], [12].

heart of the model is the idea that expectancy and value lead to student motivation whichis a key ingredient for learning and cognition. This theory suggests that both expectancies forsuccess and subjective task values directly influence the choice of activity, the persistence in it,and the final result (i.e., student performance). Expectancy describes one’s expectation ofsuccess, often framed in terms of self-efficacy. Value represents subjective task value andincludes intrinsic value (i.e., interest and enjoyment), attainment value (i.e., importance), utilityvalue (i.e., usefulness of the task), and relative cost.In order to catalyze changes in student’s attitudes toward data science and explore the hypothesisdriving this research (i.e
