Engineering programming experience: Understanding the motivation and self-efficacy of students in a follow-on programming courseIntroductionComputing continues to be of paramount interest to engineering researchers and educators whoare looking to produce computational-thinking-enabled professionals for the workforce [[1], [2].And much of this development begins as early as first-year engineering for many students, whereprogramming is a common component to introductory engineering courses [3], [4]. However, thedevelopment of computational thinking and programming needs to continue beyond the first yearand spiraled throughout the curriculum [5], [6].First-year engineering computation can come in many different forms.

Wai et al. discussed the consistency ofheightened spatial skills in those who excelled in STEM domains but recognized that spatialability is often overshadowed by mathematical or verbal skills when predicting success in STEMfields [3]. A 2019 study by Veurink & Sorby found that students identified as “low visualizers”who took a course specifically designed to improve spatial skills ultimately performed at thesame or higher levels on a spatial ability assessment when compared to students who hadinitially higher spatial skills but did not take the course. Also, students who took the spatialability course were more successful in their first attempt at introductory engineering courses thanthose who did not take
