In essence, OE plays a pivotal role in shapingindividuals' career trajectories and development by providing a cognitive framework throughwhich they evaluate potential outcomes and make well-informed choices [4].Bandura [4] delineated three types of OE, suggesting that positive outcomes can serve asincentives while negative outcomes may act as disincentives to persist in a

However, as some engineering PhD students wish to pursue a more teaching-focused careerat a PUI, or a primarily undergraduate institution, these future faculty members eventually findthey did not feel adequately prepared for their career [1].Further investigation on the self-efficacy regarding instruction for engineering PhD students isneeded. Specifically, there is a need to better understand which areas of instruction self-efficacyare related

Social belonging relates to positive social interactions with peers, faculty,and campus community, whereas academic belonging relates to academic performance,academic self-efficacy, curriculum motivation, and perceptions of belonging within aprofessional discipline [4, 5]. SB is, therefore, one of the main contributors to students’ academicsuccess, persistence, and overall well-being. The literature reports that the lack of SB isperceived differently by different student groups and is critical for underrepresented students(e.g., first-generation and low socioeconomic status) to persist in college after the first year ofstudy [6].

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].
