Behavioral outcomesinclude increased self-efficacy, i.e. a personal judgment of one’s capability to perform aparticular activity. This is a particularly important affective measure for tasks perceived to bedifficult, because it is highly correlated with the amount of effort individuals are willing toexpend and their determination to complete tasks1,2.

Control refers to a participant’s perception that they have the ability toparticipate and succeed in entrepreneurship if they so choose, or their self-efficacy with regard toentrepreneurship (Carr & Sequeira, 2007). We measured Perceived Behavioral Control usingthree questions from Ajzen (2002) as cited in Solesvik (2013) (“If I wanted to, I could easilybecome an entrepreneur”, “As an entrepreneur I would have sufficient control over mybusiness”, “It is entirely up to me whether or not I become an entrepreneur”). Question “PBC3”from Solesvik (2013) was left out per Solesvik (2013). We believe that Perceived BehavioralControl is an important topic for research in this field, connected to self-efficacy, but it appearedthat many students

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.

Many studies also note a lack of self-efficacy (self-confidence specific to thetasks of engineering) among students who leave.11,12 This low self-efficacy is often a poorrepresentation of real ability, as measured by objective evidence.13Much current effort is also dedicated to assessment of existing intervention programs. In order totranslate such work to new settings, it would first be necessary to identify how the students (andtheir reasons for persisting in or leaving engineering) are similar at different schools and indifferent types of programs (or engineering departments). This strategy requires having a way tomeasure both the characteristics that correlate with persistence as well as factors that areassociated with the context in which

Upon graduation they appreciate the advantagesthat their internship experience and learning has provided as they face their impending job demands. Theirself-confidence and demonstrable knowledge of the "real world" are significant benefits during jobinterviews, with those students who have interned usually gaining the preferred job offers.A particularly significant benefit from internship experience is the development of the student's sense of self-efficacy.

and low-income students are least likely to matriculate withengineering degrees [3], suggesting these populations may demonstrate decreased self-efficacy.Self-efficacy beliefs are significant predictors of academic success, where STEM-specific self-efficacy beliefs relate to entry and retention in STEM majors [4]. Moreover, it has been foundthat women and minority students are less likely to report interest in STEM fields [4]. Thesefindings are important, because students who express measured interest in STEM are more likelyto major in science and engineering, and are more likely to persist in those majors [1].
