Internet.Many participants took advantage of this option. The program integrated experiential learningtheory [5], 21st Century skills such as creativity and technology proficiency [6]–[8] and ethnicallymatched mentorship [9], [10] to increase academic success, self-efficacy and a sense of belongingin STEM. Where possible, instruction and activities were aligned with the Next GenerationScience Standards for engineering and Common Core Mathematical practices. In addition, near-peer mentoring was provided by undergraduate and graduate students in related disciplines.Summer ProgramThe components of the four week summer program are described below: 3D Modeling: Participants were introduced to visualization in three dimensions, geometry, isometric drawing

included.Interestingly, student feedback revealed that a number of “problems” with the lab sequence stemfrom the perception that either computational thinking is not a relevant skill for a materialsengineer, or that students were not in fact learning more than how to use a specific softwarepackage. To combat these factors and increase students’ self-efficacy, a “marketing campaign”was implemented for these courses. The results of these five years of aggressively includingcomputational modeling into the undergraduate materials science curriculum, including studentperceptions and achievement before and after these changes, can provide valuable insight for anydepartment interested in making similar changes.KeywordsMaterials Science, Modeling, Computation

]. Stout etal. found that by exposing girls to female experts in STEM, they were able to foster strongeridentification with STEM, more self-efficacy, and increased effort on STEM tests. They foundthat even if negative stereotypes remained in girls’ minds with respect to gender and STEM, thattheir own self perception benefited from contact with female experts in STEM [6]. Interventionsto increase interest, expectations, performance and self-esteem in STEM in young girls havebeen shown to be effective.How can Girl Scouts help close the gender gap?

A module featuring a series of lectures on entrepreneurship and business plandevelopment was introduced as part of the curriculum. The module was further enhanced withthe introduction of multiple company founders and industrial leaders who were invited to deliverpresentations and interact with students

These rangefrom incorporating different teaching methods to various ways to organize the course1.Chickering and Gamson argue that time on task and active learning leads to betterunderstanding2.

The collaboration also benefited the non-engineering studentsby demystifying the field of engineering, potentially alleviating “imposter syndrome” bynormalizing team performance expectations, and providing some literacy of the engineeringdesign process. In the case of early childhood education students, these altered perceptions of theengineering discipline may have impact on their self-efficacy for teaching science andengineering (Maier et al., 2013; Kallery 2004; Watters et al., 2000); as such their teaching inthese two content areas may positively influence the perceptions of engineering by their futurestudents, particularly females and minorities.

difficulties can consist of negative beliefs or thoughts that may“decrease the individual’s self-esteem and perceived self-efficacy, [and thus] …decrease theindividual’s confidence in his or her ability to make decisions” (Kleiman, 2004). Gati (1996)developed a taxonomy of career decision-making difficulties to explain possible sources ofvocational indecision. Examples of difficulties include lack of information about occupations,lack of information about oneself, internal conflicts, external conflicts, and dysfunctional beliefs,such as irrational expectations about the career-decision making process itself.Dysfunctional career thinking appears to have a large impact on STEM career choice in females.In a meta-analysis of literature exploring the

As part of the challengeof working across disciplines, the team addressed the fact that there is no single accepteddefinition of innovation. Some define innovation from an organizational perspective24 – as anecessary trait for an organization (corporation) to be sustainably productive and for thatorganization to produce disruptive technology.25 Others define innovation from an individualabilities standpoint – as the capacity for students to execute the known processes of innovators,at which point the focus is on self-efficacy.26 There are multiple ways of connecting

Beyond the age characteristic, other nontraditionalfactors do not have as much empirical support. Despite this lack of research, there are somestudies that illustrate the benefits of being a nontraditional undergraduate student 21.

Miyake et al. 4 looked at how value affirmation had a strong effect on decreasing theachievement gap in college STEM classes. Additionally, a study from Harvard Kennedy Schoolof Women and Public Policy Program found that female students exposed to female faculty hadincreased self-identification with the STEM field and a greater sense of self-efficacy in pursuing acareer in STEM with no negative effects to their male counterparts

Although the dataset issmall, teachers made a significant gain of 6% in their outcome expectancy (p<0.05).
