from consideringengineering as a major or choosing engineering as a career. Barriers/Retention ChallengesAccording to Bandura’s self-efficacy theory [33], a person’s belief about his/her ability tosuccessfully perform a task may be an important factor in the choice of certain behaviors oractivities. Wigfield and Eccles [34] built upon Bandura’s theory by arguing that in addition to self-efficacy, an individual’s choice of activities and behaviors will depend not only on how well theindividual believes that he/she will do on a given task, but will depend also on the value that theindividual places on the activity or behavior. According to this theory, expectancy and valuedirectly influence achievement choices. If

. A graduate of Purdue University (PhD 2016), his research focuses primarily on reducing barriers to the learning process in college students. Topics of interest include computer science pedagogy, collabo- rative learning in college students, and human-centered design. Of particular interest are the development and application of instructional practices that provide benefits secondary to learning (i.e., in addition to learning), such as those that facilitate in learners increased self-efficacy, increased retention/graduation rate, increased matriculation into the workforce, and/or development of professional identity.Dr. David M Whittinghill, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Dr

The inclusive team-based learning items used the same response scale as the General Self-efficacy Scale, given theevidence of high reliability and cross-cultural validity [25]. Additionally, the survey askedstudents to rate how easy or difficult the 16 inclusive team-based learning activities felt, giventhat team-based activities can involve intercultural exchange. This strategy was informed by theconcept of intercultural effort [19], which explains that measuring students’ intergroupengagement without also measuring the effort required to engage across such

of knowledge development, identification with thediscipline, and navigation through benchmarks. Each of these three dimensions becomes morecomplex over the course of an undergraduate career, as the knowledge to which engineeringstudents are held accountable becomes more aligned with ill-structured workplace problems [10]and identity formation becomes a “double-sided” process requiring both self-efficacy and beingrecognized by others as belonging to the engineering community [9]. Grounded in this multi-dimensional perspective on the undergraduate engineering trajectory, we examined the influenceof the capstone project not only on traditional engineering expertise but also on the waysstudents were identifying with the discipline and navigating

Thisshows students that math is applicable in different careers, including the music industry. Byallowing students to approach math in this way, self-efficacy for students who feel less confidentin their mathematical capabilities can increase [2].

Students whostepped into engineering leadership roles often reported self-efficacy in their ability to navigatethe technical challenges due to either previous experience or extensive previous classwork.Moreover, the relative expertise of these students seemed to be recognized by their peers. Whatwas striking however, was the frequency with which participants reported feeling inadequate tostep into roles of increased responsibility, when technical skills were essential.

The question then arises, what advantage does theworkshop provide over the engineering graphics course?
