-efficacy was analyzed regarding URM and FGC status [7]. Self-efficacy refers to anindividual’s belief and confidence about his or her ability “to organize and execute courses ofaction required to attain designated types of performances” [44]. Consequently, innovationself-efficacy does not measure realized behaviors but only one’s belief in the ability toperform these. Since EMS 1.0 was exclusively distributed to undergraduate engineeringstudents, actual behaviors as employees could not be determined. This earlier study does notfind any significant differences in innovation self-efficacy between people of URM or FGCstatus and the ones who are not part of these groups.Beyond these personal factors, this paper investigates differences in individual

Given that the majority of engineeringgraduates have only extensively been in the educational system [15], it is vital to identifyapproaches that allow them to better thrive in the workplace. Katz found that engineering studentswho had directly engaged with the professional engineering environment through interviews, co-op assignments, and seminars had “expectations [of their workplace responsibilities]…that muchmore closely matched the expectations of the professionals than…the students who had not”engaged with the professional world [29]. Similarly, problem-based learning through a capstonedesign course was shown to increase software engineering students’ confidence in their technicalabilities and improve their self-efficacy

A number of possible causes for this have been examined;Laanan et al. found in a survey of transfer students that many felt less comfortable interactingwith faculty at their new institution, and some felt increased stress and received lower grades [3].Concannon and Barrow found that engineering transfer students have lower self-efficacy thanfirst-time freshman, which was theorized to be due to transfer shock [4].A systematic literature review [6] was unable to locate research on transfer students after theirfirst post-transfer year, although the same

learnabout heat and temperature, students outperformed those doing just a physical lab [34]. Other factors may influence the effectiveness of instructional methods, including labgroup composition and gender. Even with effective implementation methods, there can also bedifferences in learning based on the composition of lab groups. For example, Ding, Bosker, andHarskamp [5] found that females in single-gender dyads significantly outperformed females inmixed-gender dyads. For males, this pattern was not evident. One factor that could impactfemales’ performances in lab groups is self-efficacy.

Theconceptualization of teacher efficacy is rooted in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory8, whichidentifies four sources of efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious learning, verbal persuasion,and physiological arousal.The conceptualization and measurement of teacher efficacy, or “individual teachers’ beliefs intheir own abilities to plan, organize, and carry out activities required to attain given educationalgoals”9 has received significant attention over the last 30 years from educational researchers.One reason this has been a popular subject is that there is “compelling evidence”10

Retention Problem and Gauging Interest in Interdisciplinary Integration into Undergraduate CurriculumAbstractUnderrepresented minorities (URMs) leave the engineering field at a rate significantly higherthan average. Researchers conclude that low self-efficacy, lack of support, and hostile andbenevolent discrimination are contributing causes. We contend that URMs’ lack of retention inengineering is due to a push by these causes, as well as a pull towards fields that more closelyalign with their identity. To explore further, a Qualtrics survey instrument was developed tounderstand the experiences of people who have fully or partially left the engineering field. Wesurveyed 47 URM and 38 non-URM participants at
