Engineering Education, 2024 Work in Progress: Community College Student Experiences with Interdisciplinary Computing Modules in Introductory Biology and Statistics CoursesAbstractInterdisciplinary professionals with both domain and computing skills are in high demand in ourincreasingly digital workplace. Universities have begun offering interdisciplinary computingdegrees to meet this demand, but many community college students are not provided learningexperiences that foster their self-efficacy in pursuing them. The Applied ProgrammingExperiences (APEX) program aims to address this issue by embedding computing modules intointroductory biology and statistics courses at community colleges. Here, we describe an

Therefore,before peer pressure and popular culture lures them away from self-efficacy in math and science,outreach to females outside of the traditional classroom is crucial. For this research project,thirteen middle school students were invited to attend a summer camp hosted in theenvironmental engineering laboratory at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical StateUniversity. Three environmental and public health “cases” or stories were developed to increasethe student interest in science and environmental engineering. The girls were grouped into teamsand each group was assigned one of the three cases in which a community member or petbecame sick due to an unknown

Similarly, design experiences in secondary school education havebeen shown to develop students’ practical and professional skills. The activities influenced theirself-efficacy beliefs and shaped their future career interests [6].One of the key outcomes of pre-college engineering education is the positive impact onpromoting equity. For example, a one-day workshop for high school girls improved attitudestoward STEM fields, boosted their confidence in engineering, and enhanced their knowledge ofcareer opportunities [11].

. Authoritarian parents prioritize adherence to"rigid rules" and high expectations over open dialog. Permissive parents indulge child autonomyover behavioral regulation, while uninvolved parents provide general neglect and disengagement.Several research studies have examined the relationship between parenting styles and career-decision making and career self-efficacy (Guay et al., 2003; Sovet & Metz, 2014). In another line of research, Kincaid et al. (2012) mentioned that “Bronfenbrenner (1961,1979) was among the first to suggest that parenting behaviors, including parental affection andtenable authority, may have differential effects on boys and girls'' (p. 5).

Students in the experimental group collaboratively solvedproblems in teams of three, providing self-explanations of the reasoning behind their answers toone another. Students in a control group solved the same problems individually. This studyshowed that students who generated collaborative self-explanation performed significantly betterat solving problems than students who did not. What these studies have in common is their use ofsummative performance assessments to show the positive impact that self-explanation has onlearning gains.

multidimensional theory that considered both a person’s beliefs abouttheir success and potential value of the outcome could be created [14]. At a high-level, EVTposits that a person’s motivation is a combination of two primary factors: their expectations ofsuccess (the expectancy) as well as the worth or importance attached to the outcome (the value)[15]. The expectancy half of a person’s motivation is a combination of a person’s self-efficacy,expectancies, self-concept, perceived control over a situation, and the attributions associated withan outcome, whereas the value portion considers their psychological needs, the intrinsic vs.extrinsic value of the outcome, the utility of the outcome, as well as its cost [14].

other arenas. Multiple studies documentincreased motivation and self-efficacy in sports training through the use of videos, for instance[15]. Motivation and self-efficacy are foundational concepts of Self Determination Theory [16][17][18], and video’s potential to enhance them in sports may be transferrable to other types ofself-development and growth. In higher education, role-model videos have been suggested tohave a positive effect on the retention of students historically under-represented in STEM,particularly when the role models discuss their personal transitions to college or the work force[19] or navigating STEM education as an historically under-represented minority [20].

workforce is at stake, it is criticallyimportant to comprehensively assess undergraduate engineering student experiences to betterunderstand what is happening on engineering campuses [5] for maintaining a sustainableengagement continuum [6].Over that past several decades, there have been numerous studies on persistence in engineeringattempting to better understand why students leave [7-10]. Usually, the factors that influencestudent persistence in engineering fall into several categories: race and gender, unwelcomingacademic climate, conceptual understanding in core courses, self-efficacy, interest and careergoals, and access to social capital. While the impact of both academic and non-academic factorshas been known to contribute to students

sense of belongingwith their selected major and college (Good, Rattan, & Dweck, 2012). Indeed, feelings ofbelonging are related to overall well-being (Ryan & Deci, 2000) as well as higher levels ofacademic self-efficacy and motivation (Freeman, Anderman, & Jensen, 2007). It is particularlyconcerning that students who belong to groups that are underrepresented in engineering feel lessconnected with their major, which is also generally related to problems with adjustment to thecollege environment (Dennis, Phinney, & Chuateco, 2005). To address the issues of retention inengineering majors, many colleges and universities have implemented programs to supportstudents in their first year (Purdie & Rosser, 2011). This paper will

study support this notion as only 10.0% of students’ comments noted that biology isuseful for their career.Future work on this project will involve analyzing the semantic differential scale data and alsorepeating the thematic analysis with other cohorts of students. 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.

regarding major enrollment.Helpful FactorsThe survey asked participants to rate on a 5-point Likert any help they acquired from theinternship, the graduation project, professional societies, career centers, and professionalcertificates (1= Not helpful at all, 5= Very helpful). The internship appears to be very helpful (μ=4.2). Previous studies have shown the internship as one of the most important factors that helpsstudents work independently and take decisions17. Internships are viewed as a positivedevelopmental experience for college students with several favourable outcomes such asimproving career decision-making and self-efficacy and allowing the student to acquire jobrelevant skills18. The graduation project also seems to be a supportive
