emotional statesnecessary to be successful in engineering research. Attention to detail and perseverance are essential skills to succeed as an engineer. It is ok to ask questions constantly. It’s also ok to ask the same questions repeatedly until you understand. It’s always better to keep asking than to settle for misunderstanding.These physical and emotional states were important to note because many engineering programsdo not focus on intentional reflection about these experiences that foster research self-efficacy.Additionally, students increased self-efficacy beliefs that may impact their future behaviors,based on self-efficacy and social cognitive theory. The following are examples of thesebehaviors:Goal-setting. Students set
