Longitudinal Assessment of Engineering Self-Efficacy (LAESE), an accurate and validatedtool that measures engineering self-efficacy.In regard to student preferences and interests, Arcidiacono determined that the choices of aparticular major are not closely associated with the ability of a particular student, but align morewith the interests of the student. The majors studied were aggregated fields holding dozens ofmajors. The National Longitudinal Study (NLS72), analyzed by Arcidiacono, only includesnatural science as a major while today this might be further broken down into natural and appliedscience or even further into the constituent fields that make up this über-major.10 Although thedata analyzed were collected in 1972-1986, this study provides

Small class sizes and the integration of a multitude of labs in the engineering curriculumprovide for a robust experience for the student in preparation for a career as an engineer. The student-centered philosophy of the institution supports student involvement and programmatic efforts thatincrease student success and learning. The College of Engineering is the largest college at Cal PolyPomona serving approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

This raised a concernwhether the interdisciplinary class was viewed as “an easier option” or if the draw was therelevance of the project. A comparison of the term reports suggested that the courses arecomparable in rigor but very different in content. The interdisciplinary course required far morecoordination and planning and less detailed design. The assessment of content is continuing.Funding the field trips is a continuing issue. The transit field trips were funded by adiscretionary fund available to the course professor. The gas field trip was funded by theUniversity of Wyoming, School of Energy Resources

The general introductory course is usuallyreferred to as “CS1” in the literature; the second course usually covers data structures and isreferred to as “CS2” in the literature.A large CS2 course at the University of Michigan has four options for a student to meet the CS1prerequisite: credit for a college-level CS1 course at the home institution, transfer credit for acollege-level CS1 course at different institution, a diagnostic test for competency, and AP credit(score of 5) for placing out of the CS1 course prerequisite requirement.

programming for these assignments, as describedpreviously. Instead, our emphasis is on using the simulation, interpreting the results, andcommunicating the conclusions. This is likely to be more appealing to students in non-engineering majors, so this also supports the “engineering for everyone” goal of the class.We have not yet undertaken a formal assessment of how the class is achieving its objectives.However, we have some indirect measures that demonstrate that the class is appealing to bothengineering and non-engineering students. For example, interest in the class is high and there is await list to get into the class each semester. We initially offered only 1 section per year of theclass and we have increased that to three sections, which
