Additionally, the creation and validation of atool to measure faculty perceptions of providing encouragement can be used by institutions toidentify critical areas to strengthen how we teach in engineering.Guiding FrameworkAn extensive literature review showed the Academic Encouragement Scale (AES) and theFaculty Encouragement Scale (FES) as the best instruments to guide this research [20, 21]. Bothmeasure students’ perceptions of receiving encouragement in academic settings. Findings fromboth studies indicate that receiving encouragement increases students’ self-efficacy and outcomeexpectations.The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) guided the development of the survey

While ability has beenpositively associated with college persistence, commitment to the goal of completion is the mostinfluential factor in determining persistence [22]. A feeling of success and congruence in theacademic environment may lead to increased motivation to study, which may lead to betterperformance, increased academic self-efficacy, and institutional commitment [23]. Learningcommunities are a way to combine academic and social aspects of an institution to help increaseacademic performance and retention, particularly in the transition from high school to college[24].

Logistic regression could not identify for which subgroups of students the variableswere most significant. For these reasons, machine learning analytics software was used toexamine the predictors, and their interactions, that led to persistence in engineering degreeprograms.

/perceived confidenceand interest/values in STEM has progressed over the past two decades, studies of students’motivational orientations (intrinsic versus extrinsic) in STEM are quite limited.Perceived confidence and self-efficacy strongly influence academic motivations [44] and serveas mediators of learning engagement and persistence [8]. As such, STEM educators areconcerned with how learners cultivate a strong sense of efficacy and expectations of success.Indeed, measurement of self-efficacy and perceived competence represents an area of notableprogress in STEM education research. Gendered patterns in learners’ perceived competence andself-efficacy within gender-role stereotyped domains such as mathematics and engineering arewidely reported [45

Similarly, only 47.6% of first-generationstudents completed an internship (Atwood et.al, 2021). Lack of internship or co-op can lead tounderemployment and significantly less lifetime earnings. Lack of internship also could beattributed to the student’s lack of social capital. According to NACE, first-generation studentsreceive lower salary offers compared to their continuing-generation counterparts (Eismann,2016).

Some of these constructs were assessed throughvalidated instruments, while others were measured with internally developed items.
