education research community in the U.S. has specified the nature of instructionalstrategies in retaining students in STEM-related courses, with a focus on an integrated STEMcurriculum designed to improve non-cognitive factors, such as interest, while developingpositive attitudes towards STEM [5][6][7]. Interests and attitudes in science develop early in astudent’s life, and it is important to develop these attitudes as they are motivators towardspursuing STEM fields and careers [8] [9]. More recently, the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) 2017 report on supporting student’s college success hashighlighted the importance of intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies and the evolvingneed for labor market recruits to

The experience seeks to cultivate a community among the scholars andto establish lifelong professional and personal relationships.

motivation and goal orientations (Multon et al., 1991; Usher et al.,2019; Zimmerman, 2000). Within the realm of STEM, if a student believes they can succeed intheir STEM classes, this refers to their sense of STEM self-efficacy. STEM self-efficacy hasbeen identified as a contributor of reluctance to pursue a STEM educational path or career(Borgen & Betz, 2008; van Aalderen-Smeets, van der Molen, Xenidou, 2018). According toBandura (1997), a strong sense of self-efficacy can enhance accomplishments and personal well-being in a multitude of different ways. This premise aligns with the research as self-efficacy hasemerged as an important predictor of academic outcomes such as motivation, major satisfaction,and goal orientations (Chen &

Sheu and colleagues’ meta-analysis of 104 STEM studies found that the foursources explained 42% of the variance in outcome expectations [5].Engineering Career Success and Social CognitionsPrior studies confirm the relationship between self-efficacy beliefs and decisions aroundpursuing or persisting in careers such as in engineering [14,15].
