engineering self-efficacy.IntroductionEngineering is a complex and challenging field of study with an overall attrition rate ofapproximately 30-50% [1]. As engineering education grows and changes, significant efforts areput towards predicting student retention and supporting those who are considered more likely toleave the field [2]. One such method for predicting retention is engineering self-efficacy: astudent’s belief in their ability to complete engineering-related tasks, including degreeattainment. Students with greater self-efficacy are generally more likely to persist in engineering[3]. Many factors impacting engineering self-efficacy have been identified, largely falling into

Balci [4] expands on these forboth verification and validation, but their scope is more suited to large-scale projects thanintroductory courses. Additionally, these pre-2000 works predate the advanced capabilities ofmodern simulation software. Although recent publications like [2], [5], [6], and [7] addressverification, they often lack practical examples.Below is a compiled list of suggested verification approaches based on these references: • Entity tracing: Follow one or a few entities through the model, verifying their journey aligns with

Without a strong physics education,engineering students are often destined to struggle in future technical classes. Perhaps even moreimportantly, the engineering physics sequence provides an engineering student with numerous“soft” skills. These courses set the tone for future learning; they teach students problem solvingskills, critical thinking, experimental inquiry, and the importance of

There are threeoptions we will evaluate. 1. Use a commercial board. 2. Assemble a custom-designed board with students as part of the course. 3. Design a custom board, but have it commercially assembled. The first option is the most common. Not only are commercial offerings reliable, but theyalso offer associated materials such as tutorials and pre-fabricated assignments

This studyhas its origins in concerns about inequities, but concerns were accompanied by a skepticismabout simplistic diagnoses of the problem. Inequitable student outcomes have strong associationswith race and family income, which can be proxies for access to quality secondary education andparental college achievement [1], but there are other factors at work. Students pursuing STEMmajors in college often suffer even worse outcomes than their non-STEM peers, with studentsfrom underserved groups experiencing much lower retention rates (i.e., retention in a STEMmajor and retention in college generally) and
