self-efficacy [24].Self-efficacy is defined as an individual’s belief about their ability to accomplish a specific task.In essence, self-efficacy is one’s confidence in their ability to be successful for a specific task.Higher self-efficacy has been shown to increase motivation to learn [25] and to improveperformance in computing students [26]. It has been frequently used in computing diversitystudies, whose findings show that women have lower self-efficacy than their male counterparts[11].Self-efficacy can be improved in four ways [24]. First, having mastery experiences increasesself-efficacy. This means that the more an individual is successful in performing a specific task,the more confident that they will be successful on another similar

It also provides meeting guides suited to the participants’ age group, tutorials, and facilitator support. According to the GWC website [14], the club has reached 580,000 students in United States, Canada, India, and United Kingdom. GWC-QU was established in 2017 and ran its first sessions in Spring 2018 [15]. It has been running every year since then except during COVID in 2019 and 2020 [16].

This paper analyzes the impact of sketch training by gender. Themotivation for this analysis was to address a gap in spatial visualization ability among femaleengineering students. The question being explored was if and in what areas additional sketchtraining helps female and male students, and if this training can help level the playing field. Toaddress these questions, a controlled trial was conducted within a freshman-level mechanicaldesign course where students learned

It is this power of story that we believe needs to be fundamentally embraced bydiversity efforts in engineering and computing to make a significant change in our demographicchallenges. And yet, the power of story is left, mostly, unexplored in engineering as it does not fitwith our STEM-focused fields that sit strongly in the camps of quantitative evidence, testing, anddesign.We will argue in this paper, that there is convincing evidence that leveraging the power of storymight be the “holy grail” for changing

In addition, the skill factors were allowed to covary. In the model, eachitem’s accuracy and response time variable were permitted to be influenced by any/all of the 3 latentfactors. (SEM was chosen because of its allowance for crossloading.)Upon computing this model, it was determined that there was not enough specification in the structure ofthe model, and that thus the model was not identified.
