andhow students formed their attitudes toward entrepreneurship. What circumstances and factorsinfluenced the extent of their entrepreneurial intent? And what circumstances and factors influencedtheir choice of an entrepreneurial engineering major?Expectancy theory [2], applied to entrepreneurial intent, suggests that choice of an entrepreneurialcareer is a function of perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, and propensity to act [3]. Asubsequent study [4] validated this model and each of its three constituent components. Perceiveddesirability is the personal attractiveness of starting a business. Perceived feasibility is the degree towhich a person feels personally capable of starting a business, in other words the person’s self-efficacy

Supporting conclusions can be found in the literature,particularly highlighting the pitfalls of teachers having only a superficial understanding of theEDP5. Working through an EDP with proper guidance gives teachers the tools and confidence topush their students outside of the comfort zone of concrete answers and encourages creativityand innovative thinking5, 6.For these reasons, every participant in this program is immediately immersed in the EDP so thatthey can become comfortable playing the role of an engineer. One of the foundational conceptsof real-world Engineering is that there is not one right solution to a problem

Engineering Teachers’ Literacy InstructionPeople enter and exit science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathwaysat different points in their educational trajectories (Cannady, Greenwald, & Harris, 2014;Maltese, Melki, & Wiebke, 2014), but middle school is an especially critical juncture forcapturing and maintaining youths’ interest in STEM fields. From fifth to eighth grade,adolescents’ interest in STEM often declines (Gonzales et al., 2008; Osborne, Simon, &Collins, 2003), and many develop a negative sense of self-efficacy regarding their potentialto succeed in future STEM courses (Chen & Usher, 2013). Though many people exit STEMpathways before they enter high school, this problem is especially pronounced

Currently, the national average for women enrolled inundergraduate engineering programs is roughly 18%5 and is 20% at Texas Tech University. The difficulty of recruiting and retaining women in engineering stems from a variety offactors which can be summarized by several themes: low self-efficacy in STEM4,12, differingexpectations for male and female students2, curricula which do not emphasize real-worldproblem solving7, and a lack of institutional commitment to diversity11.

Their study categorized students’ experiences and found a correlationbetween the students’ approaches to adapt mobile learning and their learning approaches.Another study [20] used different students’ experience constructs (e.g., perceptions, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention) as a measure to understand the students’ mobile learningadoption.
