Understanding a person’spsychological concept of self is very important when considering a person’s motivation for andsuccess in education. Several studies which use interventions based on students’ psychologies,including their mindsets, have proven to be effective in affecting educational outcomes [5-9],especially in at-risk and underrepresented groups.The literature includes few studies wherein the growth mindset has been applied in engineeringsettings. However, numerous papers have looked at how engineering students’ motivation [10,11] and self-efficacy

the results of the study in context, the authors conducted a literature review of related workon the study of women and URM students in STEM programs. The primary focus was on thechallenges and the causes for success and failure. Allen-Ramdial & Campbell [1] state thatisolation is one of the biggest challenges faced by URM students in STEM fields. One way tosolve this challenge and promote diversity in education is to achieve a critical mass. Unfortunately,this may not be quickly remedied in most environments, thus other intermediary options must beembraced. Isolation may diminish self-efficacy and re-affirm the negative stereotype of the lackof suitability of URM students for STEM study. The presence of peers has been shown to have

effort which involved early (summer semester sophomore year)internships are outlined in Sriraman, et al. [3]. However, research indicates that retention inengineering is connected to the development of engineering identity [4]. Thus, while earlyinternships contribute to student retention, the underlying mechanism that is at work resulting inimproved retention is engineering or professional identity development that occurs during theinternship experience. More broadly speaking, Bandura [2] has argued that an individual’s levelof motivation and actions are more closely based to what they believe than on what is objectivelythe case [5]. Thus, cognitive factors such as self-efficacy share a connection with identitydevelopment.Definitions of

Each pack is guidedby a “pack leader” who is a successful engineering student that acts as a mentor to the newstudents throughout their freshmen year. Having a peer mentor can aid in new students adjustingto campus life [9], [17]. Additionally, studies have shown that positive role models and socialsupport can impact the level of confidence and self-efficacy that students have in their ability tocomplete an engineering degree [18].MethodsParticipantsBoot camp participants were recruited through the Provost’s office and at various College ofEngineering

United States National Science Foundation (NSF) because the problems of the future weredeemed to be complex and required interdisciplinary study. Others think STEM was coined byNASA as SEM with the “T” added because it sounds better.Because this complexity is pervasive at every stage, most STEM research is focused on oneaffective construct (such as motivation, attitude, interest, self-efficacy) in a single STEM area[12]-[15]. And consequently, few if any instruments exist to capture STEM as multi-constructsand none in multiple STEM areas [16]. Currently few existing instruments fully capture thebreadth and complexity of the STEM disciplines.

. Introduction Engineering education has been working for decades on methods to increase students’ motivation andengagement in engineering programs. Engagement is seen as an important part of learning in engineering [1-3]as students need to feel a sense of belonging within their academic program in order to effectively develop theiridentities as engineers. Sense of belonging has been directly linked to successful academic outcomes includingpersistence, self-efficacy, and perceptions of technical competence [4-6]. In order to feel like they belong,engineering students need to have different systems in place to support and complement their formal educationin engineering classrooms. According to Allendoerfer, Wilson [6] those systems come together

measures were used in several large-scale quantitative studies, andincluded three constructs: performance/competence belief (related to self-efficacy); interest inthe subject; and feelings of recognition (i.e., feeling that others see them as the type of personthat can do the work) [42]. Together, these three constructs are reliable in describing students’self-beliefs, which comprise a students’ identity, and “are predictively valuable forunderstanding career choices” [42]. The theoretical framework for the instrument stemmed fromsocial identity theory and symbolic interactionism, and Godwin focused on the internal dynamicsand roles that impact behavior. Godwin concluded that the results provide strong validityevidence for the developed instrument
