Stewart [11]found that for male students, self-control was a predictor of academic performance; high schoolGPA and SAT scores were predictive of the first-semester academic performance of both maleand female students; and grit was not related to the academic performance of male or femalefirst-semester students. For students with a first-semester GPA of 2.67 or less, self-control wasthe best and only predictor of academic performance. Honken and Ralston

This is consistentwith Bandura’s self-efficacy theory where the most influential source of perceived self-efficacyis performance accomplishment.A model of a person’s approach toward and commitment to an endeavor can be represented byAlbert Bandura’s self efficacy model. Self-efficacy theory is concerned with an individual’sbeliefs about his or her personal capabilities to organize and execute a course of action toaccomplish designated goals or performances. Self efficacy beliefs touch almost every aspect ofa person’s life based on whether the person thinks productively, pessimistically or optimistically;how well that person is capable of self-motivation and persevering

This is reflected in current ABETstandards and the core goals of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges.Increasingly, higher education institutions are responding to these demands. For example, thereis an increasing number of engineering leadership development programs, as well as increasingresearch in the topic [e.g., 1, 2]. However, there is concern that these leadership programs maynot be contributing to leader development effectively.

Of equal importance, mentees must be prepared for the coursework that theywill face upon entering college in a STEM field. Thus, by tracking improved knowledge inphysics concepts, DREAM is able to ensure that the mentees are both interested and prepared forstudy in STEM fields. The fact that DREAM is able to present basic physics concepts in aninteractive, hands-on way allows for both of these goals to be met.Inventory data from spring 2009 and fall 2009 is presented for both mentees and a control group.Retention issues are also discussed, as concept retention has been measured both in the short-term (several weeks) and long-term (approximately four
