Missing data were handled with multiple imputation.Factor AnalysesExploratory factor analyses (EFA). First, a series of exploratory factor analyses were done toexplore how the engagement survey items grouped together. A confirmatory factor analysisfollowed to evaluate how well the model fit the data.For the exploratory analyses, a few key standards were used for retaining factors, includingeigenvalues above one,29 scree plots,30 and the percent of variance

resulted in a relatively lowperformance expectation—an expectation that their design merely result in a functioning powergenerator and accompanying monitoring system for measuring the generator’s power output.Constructing and constraining the project in this manner is critical to the perception of theproject as a “mastery experience” by most of the participants. Mastery experiences have beennoted2 as key to shaping many students’ self-efficacy beliefs; it has also been noted that astudent’s self-perception of content mastery is highly linked to their self-reported enjoyment,interest, and satisfaction. These factors are also commonly linked to one’s motivation forlearning. The next section presents how the scope of the project was appropriately

given equalopportunity for immersive BME opportunities.Outside of interest, it has also been shown that in the context of STEM education and career choices,student self-efficacy regarding research skills predicts undergraduate student aspirations for researchcareers [7]. Self-efficacy has also been identified to influence ‘motivation, persistence, anddetermination’ in overcoming challenges in a career pathway [8]. Programs that produced significantdifferences in student self-efficacy tend to be semester-long and academically challenging, as opposed toactivities such as field trips or singular class visits [9].

-URMstudents in STEM majors.Past studies conducted on SI for engineering students have consistently found that SI is linked togreater self-efficacy, persistence, and subsequent success in students’ academic programs[9,10,6]. important feature of SI is the supportive and collaborative learning environment sharedbetween the individual leading the session or SI leader and the student seeking support. Not onlydoes this deepen students’ understanding of difficult course concepts, but the learningenvironment inherent in SI ultimately increases student persistence and retention rates thusreflecting students’ success in their programs [1].III.

Time constraints on completing activities, promotion concerns, andvariations in expectations contribute to these higher stress levels; this is particularly true for women ofcolor at four-year colleges [3]. Additionally, the findings from other studies report that BWEF tend toencounter unique challenges along the tenure track [3], and have high extended family responsibility[1]. These factors can contribute to a lower self-efficacy, which correlates to feelings of institutionalfit [3]. On the other hand, perceptions of institutional fit can also be positively influenced bymentoring. Before moving on to mentoring

, Hispanics, and Girls in STEM by Expanding Summer Engineering ExperiencesAbstractPromoting the participation of under-represented minorities in engineering is a nationalimperative. Focusing on elementary school students is critical for broadening participation inengineering, as many children form lasting beliefs about their STEM identities and STEM self-efficacy in elementary school. While there has been a recent surge in efforts to integrateengineering in curriculum in traditional school settings, out-of-school settings continue to playan important role in promoting equity in pre-college engineering experiences. Out-of-schoolsettings in particular can be ideal for providing children with culturally-relevant engineeringexperiences

How do the same measures differ for Hispanic students attending an HSI from those of non-Hispanic white students at that HSI?These particular research questions are of interest as they allow us to distinguish between theimpacts of institutional type (RQ 1) and ethnicity (RQ 2 and 3) on student development. We arealso interested in understanding the differences in extracurricular experiences of Hispanicstudents due to the role that these experiences play in student self-efficacy and academicengagement [27]. Familial influence is also of interest due to prior studies that have linkedfamily support to self-efficacy and persistence [28].Methodology

learning is widely accepted as an integral part of engineeringeducation, as these experiences have been shown to improve students’ vocational self-conceptand work self-efficacy, as well as provide higher starting salaries post-graduation [10-11]. In thecontext of this study, enrolment in the program may signal students’ intent to be part of theengineering profession, or at least to obtain some professional experience in the field of theirdegree. However, given that the students are in their first year, we assume that they remain at anearly stage of professional socialization. Therefore, their expectations for the profession and theirown career trajectories may reflect their implicit assumptions about engineering and serve as abaseline for future

inengineering education as engineering curriculum focuses primarily on the technical skills neededto be an engineer. One route to teaching these reflective skills is with self-assessment (SA). SAhas value in the classroom due to the learning benefits and skills it promotes, includingmetacognition and self-efficacy, while providing the student with a chance to reflect on their ownwork. SA has been used in a variety of settings with different methods of implementation but thereare only a few documented uses in engineering. This study investigates the accuracy of studentself-assessment scores as compared to an instructor score to discuss the value of this exercise forengineering students when the grading scheme is broken down by objectives in three

Compared to HS students, MS students exhibited greaterfeelings of self-efficacy about their ability to contribute toward solving issues related to energyand the environment, although the HS response went up between years 1 and 2 (data not shown).These findings are consistent with our earlier studies looking at energy-related attitudes andbehaviors, where MS students had more positive energy-related behaviors and greater feelings ofenergy-related self-efficacy than HS students [28].

Furthermore, our observations also highlighted the challenge that highschool STEM teachers’ face in integrating nanotechnology into their classroom. While each of theclassroom lessons that we observed included a nano-component, the teacher’s primary focuscorresponded with something students were expected to know per state mandates and with respectto state tests. More time spent on nanotechnology, especially a full nano-lab would, we think,detract from what the teachers were expected to cover.Third, we did not find any changes in students’ STEM self-efficacy as measured by the S-STEMconstructs

As stated earlier, this familiarity can improve student interest and lessen student fearand anxiety, which improves student self-efficacy. This is especially important for femalestudents as research has shown that self-efficacy relates to female students’ persistence rates.15In fact, simply improving student interest in the subject matter is

Participants are asked to provide both qualitative andquantitative feedback regarding the camp experience in an exit survey on the final day of camp.All assessment is completed anonymously; however, archival data are not available for eachyear. This paper highlights qualitative and quantitative findings from the past decade.Introduction and
