To this end, theliterature review in this paper explores gender-related factors relevant to females’ college majorchoices, including family influences, self-image and self-efficacy, perception of gender roles,students’ value systems, and outcome expectancies for attaining a college degree. Although several of these factors have been widely studied, and family of originconfiguration in relationship to college major has been studied in other countries (specificallyItaly), there is a gap in the literature for this relationship as concerns US students

Lord et al. argue that the ecosystem approachoffers insights into contextual factors such as multiple influential actors, gatekeepers, powerrelations, tacit knowledge, knowledge transmission, and disciplinary cultures. Much like thispaper, we plan to apply network analysis techniques to makerspaces to provide richer insights.A survey measuring student participation in makerspaces and students’ self-efficacy for designrelated tasks [23] was deployed at Georgia Tech.

-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

Additional types of attitudestowards biology will also be explored, including utility value (and the other values involved withexpectancy value theory) and self-efficacy towards biology. This will be an important area toexplore because even though emotions do not seem to be the reason while anecdotallyengineering students may not be enjoying biology, these other psychological aspects couldpotentially explain this observation.References[1] I.

challenges in childhood are not likely topossess the level of resilience they need to effectively deal with failures and setbacks [1].Resilience can be defined as the “process of, capacity for, or outcome of successful adaptationdespite challenging or threatening circumstances” [5]. Developmental researchers have arguedthat youth mainly develop resilience by successfully navigating and overcoming adversesituations [2]. Experiences resulting in successful adaptation can inspire confidence to overcomefuture challenges and equip students with resources on an individual level (e.g. psychologicalresources such as self-efficacy or adaptability [5]). These individual resources, consisting ofaptitudes, motivation and behaviors, are of key importance because

Moving forward, we aim to develop instruments or adapt published instruments thatmore objectively measure student self-efficacy toward design [19] for use in our program and,more generally, in the context of biomedical engineering education. Bandura proposes four mainsources of efficacy information: performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbalpersuasion, and physiological states [20]. We aim to contribute to an understanding of howstudent design confidence relates to such described mechanisms for changes in self-efficacy.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning for their supportvia the Curriculum Enhancement Grant (CEG) and for moderating focus groups.References[1] J.E.

Another important consideration is thatthe sample of responses under question represent 100% of teacher participants for the 2017 and2018 WE2NG programs but represent only a small convenience-sample of STEM teachers in general.Thus, results of inferential statistical methods should be treated with caution when considering theirapplicability to the entire population of STEM teachers.

A holistic integrated approach to the recruitment, selection, and support of transfer students into engineering is essential to ensure academic and career success. The theoretical framework of Bandura’s Self-Efficacy model, along with the implementation of Chickering’s Student Development Theory [2] have shown to be meaningful and impactful theoretical touchpoints throughout this process.

Although they oftenhave good intentions to help students succeed, faculty often attribute the academic barriers to thestudents’ lack of preparation, motivation, or effort to learn. Research studies [1] showed that thisdeficit mindset of instructors negatively impacts the students’ self-efficacy and hinders theiracademic growth.
