Due to the hybridnature of the classes, it requires more effort, hard work and innovation by the instructors to makesure that the students learn the material effectively as well as retain the knowledge. This gavebirth to an idea to develop a course learning structure for effective student learning and success.The course structure discussed can be applied to hybrid as well as online only course learningenvironments with full application to traditional face-to-face learning. The course structurediscussed can also be extended to all STEM

While the results here are in general agreement withprevious studies regarding academic self-confidence and how it is affected by gender and overthe course of the engineering program, there is a significant amount of work yet to be done tocontinue to explore how different measures of self-efficacy relate to tasks undertaken (masteryexperiences), and how they are affected by larger factors such as gender schemas. In particular,analysis of semi-structured interviews is beginning to provide a more nuanced view into howstudents view their teaming experiences and may provide insight into
