skills and motivation might limit students' outcomes in capstone design projects. The lack of the supervisors' practical communication skills ultimately affected the students' motivation to develop the projects and apply the required project management techniques. In other words, if students sense that their opinions are respected, they will feel more empowered and motivated. Similar results are observed by the National Institute of Construction Management and Research and Walden University [13,14]. Along with motivation, social-cognitive theory suggests that effective communication affects students' deep thinking and motivation [15]. Hence, learners with strong self-efficacy are more likely to engage in activities that
students assigned no mentor. A survey was sent out at threepoints throughout the year to monitor the students’ experiences and a fourth survey was sent oneyear after the program ended. The survey measured self-efficacy, feelings of threat andchallenge, and career goals. College transcripts also were collected to monitor students gradesand retention information. The study concluded same-gender peer mentoring increasesconfidence, motivation, and retention for women in engineering. Pairing a female student with afemale mentor had a greater impact with 100% retention than pairing a female student with amale mentor with 82% retention. However, there was no indication that the mentoring programincreased average GPA’s. Although there is limited

. Presently, e-learning is already deeply integrated into schoolcurricula to motivate students and facilitate learning. Numerous studies have revealed thebenefits of implementing self-paced e-learning strategies in traditional curricula for improvingcritical learning variables such as motivation, self-efficacy, goal-orientation, satisfaction, andpersistence.1 Especially, there has been a fair amount of acceptance and practice among thecommunity of science and engineering education community that traditional teaching can begreatly benefited by incorporating e-learning strategies.2-6 Leading academic organizations suchas the Sloan Consortium also advocate that incorporating online learning strategies into theengineering curricula can augment some of
students sit in the same place doing their assignments individually [9]. If the instructors detect a mistake or a student requests their help, they sit together with the group of students and give them a set of “hints” rather than simply solving the problem for them. We teach our students that in order to learn mathematics they should never ask for the solution to the problem, instead they should do it on their own so that they learn by solving the problem [3]. After all, in this part we want to engage more students in learning mathematics. We want the teachers to become facilitators of learning experiences and improve the self-efficacy of students by boosting their confidence and help-seeking abilities [11]. It is worth mentioning that
interest in STEM content and careers.”When students are engaged in meaningful tasks that incorporate facets of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics, they will develop a stronger self-concept and greater interest inSTEM fields. Engineering design activities increase students’ interest and self-efficacy inengineering and their problem-solving abilities (Householder & Hailey, 2012). Thomasian(2011) noted when students were not provided with opportunities to engage in hands-on STEMactivities, their ability to complete a postsecondary degree in a STEM field was diminished. Healso stated that without a “rich supply of STEM-skilled individuals” the United States wouldstruggle “to compete in the global economy, where discovery, innovation

In addition to gauging changes in students' systems thinking skills via aconcept inventory, the effects of the learning materials are assessed by studying changes instudents' self-efficacy and surveying students on the appeal of the new learning materials.Results are presented for a class of 37 students that features a mix of undergraduate and graduatestudents. The graduate students form a particularly interesting cohort in that they havepresumably previously taken a conventional capstone senior design course as undergraduatestudents.This paper is organized as follows.

For engineering identity items, we drew on social identity theory[11]–[13] to select items which assess the recognition, interest, and performance/competencefactors of identity. Based on literature review and participant responses, we added items to assessoutcome expectations and STEM fascination. To assess engineering identity, we drew from the16-item revised Engineering Identity Development Scale (EIDS) [14], the Engineering Interestand Attitudes Survey (EIA) [15], STEM Fascination and Competence/Self-efficacy Scales[16][17], the STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) [18], the Modified Attitudes TowardScience Inventory (M-ATSI) [19], and the Persistence Research in

Girls shouldreceive science and mathematics enrichment and personal motivation prior to ninth grade,and such intervention should start at the point when they are still not influenced by“expectations,” academic courses are mandated by school curricula and not minimumrequirements, and their sense of self-efficacy is positive.Since academic instruction in the fourth grade moves from concrete to abstract concepts, in1993, with seed funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Femme programwas expanded to encompass post-fourth and fifth grade girls. The second FEMME groupwas born! The Introduction to FEMME (IFEMME) was designed to offer 48 fourth and fifthgrade high-ability girls an opportunity to improve their

After each module was due, an in-class announcement requesting that students complete a feedback survey was made. Thefeedback survey included course and module information, attitudes toward the class, and modulefeedback. More specifically, students were asked to identify the module they just completed, thecourse of enrollment and whether they had previously completed any instructional modules intheir coursework. The remaining items were used to form four measurement scales.There were 19 items pertaining to student attitudes toward the class. Of these 19, eight wereaimed at measuring students’ self-efficacy, six regarded the value of the course

. ‘Non-persisting’ students are those leaving engineering because of the academic climate, grades, self-efficacy, high school preparation, career goals, and gender or race [20]. Moreover, students leave STEM because of a lack of belonging [3], [24], “chilly” climate [25], microaggressions [26], conflicting identities [26]–[28], and not identifying with the field [29]–[31]. This literature on student perceptions highlights how their decisions are influenced by how they see themselves as being capable. This suggests how students’ perceptions affect their decisions which can be influenced by several cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Therefore, students’ observations in school inform the actions they take, and what they see as

second-year STEM courses. Theworkshop is designed to promote active learning and strategies to reduce student resistance toactive learning [16]. We developed student and instructor surveys to assess the workshops’ impact. Thestudent survey focuses on instructors’ use of active learning, instructors’ use of the associatedstrategies to reduce student resistance, and students’ responses to active learning [17]. Theinstructor survey measures instructors’ intentions and motivation (value and self-efficacy) forusing active learning as well as strategies to reduce student resistance to active learning [18]. We assessed three pilot offerings of the workshop by measuring instructors’ attitudestoward active learning before and after
