is illustrated in this paper, students still have low tomedium self-concept and self-efficacy. Since high self-efficacy and self-concept predict higherachievement [7], encouraging these in students who are traditionally underrepresented isimportant and something that is not accomplished simply by having high science motivations,value of science, and learning motivations and habits in the areas of science and engineering.Thus, additional effort must be made to help students connect what they are learning to theirability to perform engineering and science skills (self-efficacy) and their identity in STEM (self-concept).

) was 3.67,use of script support (SS) was 3.21, use of storytelling (S) was 3.29 and ability to controlemotions (CE) was 3.57. Based on the student self-assessment responses (Figure 3), the areasthat received the lowest average ratings were the inability to include storytelling techniques(S), effectiveness to use script support (SS), as well as incompetence to engage audiences(EA). Students expressed that their strengths were content preparation, organization and timemanagement, yet these skills received a rating of approximately 3, indicating that theirstrengths are still considered as underdeveloped. Therefore, results indicated that there is anopportunity for improvement and mastering all the different presentation criteria
for the organizational dynamics of each institution. The resulting model can be used to identifyvariables that are most important for the educational mission, i.e., those that have the most significant influence on theoutput measures and also those that help minimize the influence of external disruptions.Figure 10: Causal Relationship FrameworkReferencesAllan, J.F., McKenna, J., and Dominey, S., (2014) Degrees of resilience: profiling psychological resilience and prospectiveacademic achievement in university inductees.

Researchers in this S-STEM project funded by the NSF shareobservations of a student-faculty partnership that resulted from the development of aformal learning community. A series of targeted seminars were conducted that appear tohave increased adult and military veteran engineering and technology students’ levels ofconnectedness and self-efficacy. Results of this pilot study are

Due to the high variability in STEMprograms, this literature review aims to assess the practical methods of educating and retainingminority students interested in engineering careers.

They also need to recognize that the technical jargon that poses an extralayer of difficulty for linguistically and culturally diverse student populations can be systematicallytaught. Also, and certainly not least of all, teachers need to recognize that informal and out-of-school STEM learning spaces can circumvent the challenges of restrictive school policies and thedemand for more time with students and opportunities to pool from existing funds of knowledgewhile involving parents and assimilating into the society. 10 References[1] L.
