This program was designed to prepareselected student participants for enrollment in a four-year institution within the University ofCalifornia system. This paper also describes the comprehensive evaluation methods that wereused to determine whether the summer program reached the intended aims and goals. Initialfindings indicate that the program was successful with preparing students to transfer to a four-year institution as academic goals were clarified and the self-efficacy of students was improved.The outcomes of the evaluation results discuss how to refine the program for future offerings andhow other institutions and programs can

EPBEL as an Effective Tool for Increasing Self-Efficacy and MotivationEPBEL provides a particularly engaging experience for students, but another important questionis how it develops self-efficacy. Bandura describes self-efficacy as the measure of “convictionthat one can successfully execute the behavior required to produce the outcomes” desired. 31 TheAcademic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES) found that high levels ofmotivation and confidence are important indicators for success in engineering and that studentswho participate in extracurricular activities are more likely to have high levels

As indicated by the participants’statements, students begin to question their capability to comprehend class material which impactstheir sense of self confidence to achieve academic success. “I feel terrible.” “Nervous and slightly concerned/stressed for my grade.” “Anxious because it will affect my GPA and I’m not sure that I’m learning well.” “Stressed out, hyper.” “I feel terrible and dumb.

For example, Green 12 developed a set oflinear regression models for three mechanical engineering courses to predict a student’s finalexam score from the student’s scores in mid-term quizzes. A modest correlation was foundbetween a student’s final exam score and mid-term exam scores. Yousuf 13 developed amultivariate linear regression model to predict student academic performance in ComputerScience and Engineering Technology programs.

Situational barriers include lack of pedagogical training, perceived time for effectiveimplementation, and institutional support and incentives [3]. For example, there can besituational barriers like disciplinary differences or institutional influences that promote ordiscourage the use of EBIPs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)courses [1, 4]. Further, engineering faculty have reported concern about the time required forboth preparation and implementing EBIPs in class. In contrast, individual barriers includeinstructional beliefs, values, goals, self-efficacy, motivations, and awareness [4, 5]. For one,many educational theories and research studies can be

With evidence demonstrating no gender differences formathematical skills or other engineering-related abilities, [7] women feel less able to pursue thesecareers and even think they have many barriers and obstacles to achieve them.[8]To understand social constructs that influence women, an increased interest in concepts as self-efficacy and the feel of competence have emerged in

These“co-op” experiences can have positive impacts on engineering students’ academic performanceand future compensation [2], [3], as well as strengthening self-efficacy, career development andpractical engineering skills [4]–[6]. Undergraduate research is another form of experientiallearning that allows students to engage in problem solving and investigative processes in alaboratory or with a research group. Undergraduate research is a “high impact” learningexperience [7], [8], although its value depends in part on how well students are integrated withand supported in the research setting [9]–[12].At a large research

TechnologyAbstractThe future of America’s global competitiveness depends upon a well-educated, technologically literateworkforce. However, if proactive measures are not taken in the near future, the United States will face aserious shortage of scientists, engineers, technologists, and mathematicians because high school students,especially those from underrepresented groups, are increasingly losing interest in these subjects. The keyin reversing this trend lies in our ability to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)subjects and professions in a more socially relevant, real-world context and to recognize the differences inlearning styles and self-efficacy between males, females and minorities.

students [27]. The principles ofthe competency-belief component of this theory are similar to Shavelson’s self-concept of ability[28] and Bandura’s self-efficacy construct [29]. While by definition, these three concepts aredifferent, they have proven difficult to isolate empirically [30-34] and are usually measured in thesame manner [27]. Competency beliefs are frequently grounded in self-efficacy theory [22], whichfacilitates the connection between positive feedback and better academic achievement [35]. Valuebeliefs, on the other hand, have been studied less often but are by no means less vital. Whilecompetency beliefs focus on a person’s ability to do a task or engage in an activity, value beliefsfocus on an individual’s desire to engage in an
