attitudes and skillsets as they relate to the makerspace. Ourresearch team surveyed 172 undergraduate students in 6 unique courses that incorporate amakerspace based project into their curriculum. These courses varied by student year,department, subject matter, and project complexity. Each student was surveyed at the beginningand end of the semester, before and after they had completed a course project in the makerspace.The survey measured students’ affect towards design, design self-efficacy, technology self-efficacy, innovation orientation, and sense of belonging within the makerspace. Survey itemswere validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Subsequently, paired t-testswere used to analyze if, and how, these metrics
