As a consequence, understanding the landscape ofthese standards is a crucial precursor to making sense of and improving CS education in theUS.While there have been studies of engineering education standards more broadly [1–3], researchfocused more specifically on computer science learning standards is much less common. A 2010report from the Association for Computing Machinery and CSTA explored whether and how CSwas included in state standards [4]. This work found that the US was not adequately preparingstudents for a society where technology was involved in nearly every facet of life, to the extentthat there had actually been a decline in the

Identity and sense of belonginghave been tied to persistence with STEM subjects and long-term career success [13], [14]. Aheightened sense of belonging may translate into more confidence taking roles adjacent totechnical fields, working closely with practicing engineers.The present study sought to test three research questions (RQs) about students’ self-efficacy andsense of belonging.Research QuestionsRQ1: Does a non-major student’s self-efficacy change after completing circuit labs and acircuit design project?Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in their capability

For STEM bachelor’s degree students in the United States, 48% leave STEMbefore completing their degree. They either switch to another major, or exit college beforeearning a degree [1]. This is of significant concern, as demand for skilled professionals in STEMis high, and attrition reduces the number of graduates available to fill these roles. STEM fieldsare critical for innovation and economic growth, and a lack of STEM talent impacts a country’sability to compete globally [1][2][3][4].
