Community and Self-Efficacy Building of Civil Engineering StudentsIntroductionThe Citadel, a regional, residential military college, is currently engaged in a multi-year NSF S-STEMproject to encourage persistence of academically-talented, low-income civil engineering students. OurExcellence in Civil Engineering Leadership (ExCEL) scholarship program builds on a prior program (ofthe same name) that included 34 scholarship recipients, of which 85% graduated with a STEM degree and65% met the academic requirements to graduate as an ExCEL scholar [1]. The current ExCEL programseeks to retain several community-building and support services that were highly valued by our formerstudents, including: (1) funding to attend the

, their education, and their profession, and how experiences uniquely affectunderrepresented or marginalized students. Researchers have suggested that culture is especiallyimportant for women to persist in a field [23], [30]. A culture of “Engineering with Engineers”could result in graduates who not only are prepared technically and professionally with apractical, realistic understanding of what it is to be an engineer, but who also identify with andare committed to the engineering profession. Hence, results of the study are hoped to lead to aclearer understanding of the changes that promote engineering identities, particularly in women,and how such identities affect students’ sense of belonging in a program and their persistence inthe major.It

More importantly, however, it requires the ability to integrate thesesubjects in a meaningful way [15]. Within both the biotechnology sector and in academia, thedemand for graduates who possess expertise in the generation of high-throughput data—as wellas the modeling skills needed to analyze/predict pathological states and identify viabletherapies—has increased dramatically [2,4,16].In terms of STEM pipeline

We also piloted interviewswith existing Moroccan students from older cohorts. We examined existing survey instrumentssuch as [20], [21] to develop our interview protocol. For example, using the survey in theBlumenfeld study as a guide, we are asking expectancy-value specific questions such as: “Doyou feel that you are giving up anything by choosing the engineering path?” For an affirmativeanswer, the follow-up question is: “What things could you be doing instead?” For a negativeresponse, the follow-up question is “Perhaps giving up time spent on your hobbies? Or timespent with family?”[20].ConclusionThis research

It is a portable,inexpensive, but highly useful hardware platform, which recreated a classroom or laboratoryenvironment e.g. at home. When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].
