Manyconstruction related programs encourage or mandate internships prior to graduation, and it isproposed to study whether this has any effect on the students’ behavior toward their studies asthey progress. Another issue is the continuation of the internships into the semester while thestudent is attempting to handle a full course load. Which becomes more important; work orschool?

This study seeks to further investigate the relationshipbetween gender, self-efficacy, and IP by examining the research self-efficacy beliefs andimposter feelings of students in an eleven-week undergraduate summer research program. Theresults are from a voluntary survey offered in the ninth week of the

independently predicted students’engineering identity. The relationships between gender and both engineering identity andpersistence were completely mediated by peer relations, but were not significantly mediated byfaculty support. Unlike gender, race had a significant independent effect on both engineeringidentity and persistence that was not mediated by other predictors. This suggests that otherfactors not captured by this set of predictors influenced their identification with the disciplineand their persistence.To better understand aspects of the program climate that influenced persistence and disciplinaryidentification, we conducted a qualitative analysis of responses to two open-ended items whichasked students to state identify the “best” part of

(2) how learningtrajectories were related with conflicts and innovation competency from academic staff’sperspectives? (3) how students and academic staff’s perspectives were similar and differentfrom the literatures? Besides providing a brief literature review, we collected empiricaldata by one-year observation and 14 interviews in one engineering master program,Environment Management, at +++ University, Denmark.

A survey was used to investigate the utility value and efficacy of approximately700 undergraduate students in their first year of engineering studies at both a large publicinstitution and a small private institution. Data is analyzed for variations in baseline motivationbased on the students’ intended major. This analysis also considers known confounding factorssuch as gender, race, and prior experience with programming. The results of this survey will helpdetermine whether efficacy and interest related to

In this work-in-progress paper, we examine some emergent patterns found in thejoint activity systems of a STEAM summer program; especially we describe two emergent,distinct patterns of collaborative interaction which we label as “type 1” and “type 2,” oneof which we find to be more conducive to the kind of collaboration that can foster“relational just” interactions. Within diverse engineering classrooms, research suggests that creating andmaintaining equitable and productive joint activity can be a continual challenge forteachers as part of a larger complex and difficult process (Shah & Lewis, 2019). Withinthis study, we choose to view learning activity through a joint activity lens due to the factthat research suggests this
