expectancy. We analyze the data of 600 engineering students enrolled in a CS1 courseand find that gender and PPE are statistically significant factors that influence students’ learningself-efficacy. We also find that learning self-efficacy and GPA are statistically significant predictorsof outcome expectancy. We believe these results will help advance our understanding of engineer-ing students’ motivational beliefs and help instructors identify specific groups of students that mayneed additional support and assistance.1 IntroductionAs the importance of acquiring computational skills increases, there is a growing emphasis onadding more programming and data analysis courses in the undergraduate curriculum, especiallyfor engineering majors [1

-Computer Science (non-CS) major students. This demand is more paramount as many studentsmay not have been introduced to fundamentals of programming in high schools. According to anational survey, only 53% of high schools offer computer science courses. The scarcity of theavailability of courses at high school level results in more difficulties, and no prior computerprogramming experience. For such students the deficit in base continues to grow in college withtwo important facets: 1) such students are reluctant to pursue engineering and computing majorsand 2) these students find typical college programming courses more challenging and harder thanmany others who took programming in their high school, leaving them behind in courses.Considering

IntroductionResearch shows that cognitive functions are crucial components of mental processes and play acrucial role in our ability to perform a variety of tasks (e.g., [1], [2], [3]). In computer-aided design,cognitive functions such as perception, retention, visuospatial skills, etc. are relevant to using 2Ddrawings and 3D models in virtual reality (VR) environments. For example, the student mustrecognize and interpret a three-dimensional model from its orthogonal two-dimensionalrepresentations on a blueprint. Additionally, they must be able to store and recall information,which is essential in remembering prominent features of designs [4], which, in return, developsthe ability to recognize objects and identify their features based on visual information

AI is proving to be an effective tool for educators teaching anywhere from K-12 [1] or in sec-ondary education [2] to enhance teaching and provide students with personalized learning experi-ences. State-of-the-art AI technologies have been able to analyze vast amounts of data to identifypatterns, adapt to student needs, and provide real-time feedback with little up-front implementa-tion costs. As such, it has been shown that this tailored instruction and support to each studentcan improve their learning outcomes [3], [4]. Moreover, AI has been used to automate routinetasks such as grading, assessment, and administrative duties, freeing up educators’ time to focuson higher-level tasks.
