Engineering self-efficacy 2 measuresa student’s ability to reach academic milestones facing all undergraduate engineering majors.This tells us that, for this sample, mastering coursework (earning an A or B) is the mostsignificant predictor for women’s persistence in engineering, and completing coursework (notnecessarily obtaining an A or B—merely completing the course) is the most significant predictorfor men’s persistence in engineering. For both men and women
