There also were important differences in rates of participation bygender, underrepresented racial/ethnic minority status, and first generation college student status.Overall prediction of engineering task self-efficacy and innovation self-efficacy was relatively low, witha model fit of these learning experiences predicting engineering task self-efficacy at (adjusted r2 of) .200and .163 for innovation self-efficacy.

The Access Network is a collection of programs (sites) thatare situated in U.S. universities that work towards a more equitable, diverse, inclusive, andaccessible version of the STEM community (Quan 2019). Access prioritizes student leaders, bothat the network-level and in their local sites, by empowering them to take the lead on actions andby providing support for this work.

In this sense the scientific method is based uponconsidering all of the different factors and data to form a conclusion. Another important aspect ofscience is that the “Scientific method does not insure the satisfactory solution of the problem...anymore than it insures the construction of an adequate hypothesis for the research problem” (p. 238)[16]. This statement suggests that a scientist’s mindset is primarily focused on the problemdefinition stage of problem solving.The problem-solving mindset is also evidenced in an expansive range of disciplines through theiracademic writing.

an important aspect of engineering practice during the second industrial revolution, which started in the late 19th century. Today, the importance of teamwork skills for engineers is codified in the ABET accreditation requirements (ABET 2021). Too often, we, as instructors, put students in teams and assume they will learn teamwork skills organically. As a result, the majority of students report at least one type of interpersonal problem on projects and many report reduced learning as a result (Wolfe et al. 2016). In most cases, we don’t learn about the problems until reading student peer evaluations or we don’t learn about them at all. Either way, the opportunity to correct the situations has passed and the damage is done. In
