Figure 1: A strict inclusion domain analysis of the power yielded by the members of Team YWe defined these four kinds of power as follows. Knowledge refers to the power that comes fromthe generation of new ideas or the use of other's knowledge or ideas (e.g. faculty memberssuggesting the use of a particular method to the undergraduate researchers based on theirknowledge of and prior use of the method). Resources are tangible sources of power (e.g.introducing the students to a researcher they know who could be interviewed for their

have been developed in computing education to measure and assess self-efficacy [9, 10, 11]. Recently, Steinhorst et al. proposed a more generalized instrument for assessingself-efficacy that is paradigms and language agnostic [12]. Multiple studies have investigated therole of self-efficacy in the context of introductory programming courses [13, 14, 15, 16]. Whilethere have been a number of studies, it should be noted that the landscape of CS1 has been evolv-ing with growing enrollments and a wide variety of programming languages used in the courses.Also, more students can now take CS0/1 in high school compared to some time back [17].

In the case of oneinfrastructure engineering course, the enduring themes have been energy, water, andtransportation. For many students, water’s basic properties are well-understood; directobservation and physical interaction with water concepts like pressure and flow rate result in aninnate understanding upon which deeper knowledge can be built. Conversely, the properties ofenergy, especially electric power, tend to pose special challenges. Although students’ lives areinextricably dependent upon electricity, daily experiences generally do not provide for direct,physical, or visual observation of the fundamental

In addition to learning about each problem, emphasis is placed on how each problemcan be addressed through three different paths: through policy changes, through individualchanges, and through social entrepreneurship.
