What we have not been able to ascertain prior tothis point is their perceptions of the paths they have taken.

Teams to Develop Undergraduate Laboratory ExperiencesAbstractThe technical information presented in many undergraduate engineering courses is emphasizedand solidified by using laboratory experiences. As new, interesting technology is introduced intoundergraduate courses or new courses introduced into the curriculum, some professors findthemselves wanting to provide new hands-on exercises for their students to support their courseobjectives. At the same time, they often find they are short on time, money, or resources neededto develop their ideas into meaningful, level-appropriate learning events meant to timely supporttheir students’ learning.In this effort, a senior-level mechanical engineering student group in a

The scales were found tobe both valid and reliable. Furthermore, using an information-based approach to StructuralEquation Modeling (SEM), an exploratory model of the motivators to student engagement inextracurricular engineering-related activities (e.g., study groups, organizational membership,summer enhancement programs), was developed. The exploratory model indicated that self-efficacy beliefs and engineering identity were the most proximal motivators of engaging inengineering related activities, and valuation of engineering skills and
