were two questionnaires administered in fall 2012, spring2013, fall 2013, and spring 2014: one for the Current pathway scholars and one for the potentialtransfer students who attended Shadow Day (the Anticipating students). Both questionnairesassessed demographic information and information regarding their choice and feelings forchoosing engineering as a career. The questionnaires also assessed any hurdles they expect toface by transferring to LSU or continuing in the program. The responses to these questions werecompared between the two groups to determine potential effects of actually transferring to LSU.The results from the self-efficacy questions suggests that anticipating students rated this more Table 4.

Shecan watch the screencast at any location and time on a world-wide-web browser that can be on apersonal computer, a tablet, or a smart phone. The initial learning is fast since students do not Page 26.737.3spend time in interpreting the steps and avoid the laborious trial-and-error process. Since astudent learns by observing the desired behavior of an expert on the screencast, it aids learnerswith low self-efficacy in exploring the demonstrated behaviors1.

The growth of entrepreneurship programs in engineering undergraduate education has beenstudied by Shartrand & others 3 finding that “the vast majority of programs were labeled asminors, concentrations or certificates” rather than integrated into the core curriculum. Thisresearch has also provided detailed categorization of the models being implemented to provide a“landscape” by clustering types of opportunities and the perspective by which they are taught4.Much of the delivery of entrepreneurship education is via courses, however it is argued

, can lead to better communication and trust. What emerges is a more healthy relationship.Students gain what they wanted all along - to learn what will help them later on. And faculty gainwhat they want - deeper respect from their students.The focus so far has been largely on skills and knowledge. But as we are exiting the knowledge-based world in which we were educated, attitudes and mindsets are being recognized as moreimportant factors of later success 33,34,35,36,37 . In the literature these attitudes include grit, curiosity,self-efficacy, the growth mindset and others. Whatever the makeup or nature of a mindset, mostpedagogical methods short circuit the development of these mindsets. To take one specific mindset,we know that students are

contribute, but rather due to “a reduced senseof self-efficacy” and confidence2. Pentland posits less global, more interpersonal reasons why ateam member may appear unengaged: Are they trying to communicate and being ignored or cut off? Do they cut others off and not listen, thereby discouraging colleagues from seeking their opinions? Do they communicate with only one other team member? Do they face other people in meetings or tend to hide from the group physically? Do they speak loudly enough?8Research has shown that emotion and stress impact individual and team communication duringthe decision-making process; however, results regarding the nature of the impact oncommunication are mixed.

In many cases, females tend to feel they are neither competent enough nor have the ability to study disciplines that are traditionally male dominated. As a result, females end up having a negative attitude towards the STEM fields of study. This attitude towards the STEM study areas are further exaggerated when considering the fact that there are a limited number of female mentors, roll models, or peers to improve self- efficacy in this area. The Women in Technology Discussion Panel and Symposium is instrumental in stimulating interest

All of these traits are commonly cited desired attributes of a global engineer working in a multi-disciplinary world, and are reflected in engineering accreditation requirements today6-8. Project-based learning in particular can simulate an industry-like environment for students, to facilitate the development of the skills required for practicing professional engineers. In project-based learning, students are formally instructed to ensure they have the foundation of knowledge needed to work on and complete the project assigned9,10. Emphasis is
environments are created when a group ofindividuals work collectively and collaboratively to achieve a shared goal or objective. They canbe comprised of the atmosphere, individual members (experience, skillsets, and motivations),communication, shared resources, and the space (cognitive, affective and physical) in which theywork. Team-effectiveness within these environments can often be difficult and time consumingto measure, requiring training of the observers as well as a significant time investment in codingand analysis post-observation. As a result, observations of teams in engineering and computerscience education have typically looked at which tasks are performed and/or which behaviors areexhibited over a specific observation period.7-9 While

The professors teaching style was so engaging that it made me want to learn more about the topics covered in class. Even though I am not specializing in the specific area of that class (fluid mechanics and water resources), this class introduced me to the notion of wanting to learn more than what is covered in textbooks.”Eight participants indicated the course’s impact on their own self-efficacy.

Lent and Brown28 initially proposed a model forwork satisfaction that extends their scholarship on Social Cognitive Career Theory26. In thisprocess model, the authors posit that work satisfaction is influenced by 1) one’s affective traits,2) participation in goal-directed activities, 3) environmental supports and resources, 4) workself-efficacy and 5) both expected and
