While this was not the main research question,engaging in self-reflection can affect self-efficacy and therefore contributed to our understandingof the results of this study.3.4 Analysis MethodsThe primary method used to determine the relationship between PSSE, abstraction level, andperformance is Pearson correlation coefficient. This coefficient is a dimensionless measure of thecovariance between two variables, normalized between -1 and 1 [19]. These extremes representexact linear relationships between the variables. As a result, interpretation of this coefficient canlead to some inferences about the relationship between

that visits to engineering schools had an impact on thestudents’ decision to enter engineering [3]. Phelps et al. [4] showed that many factors across lifestages are associated with engineering major choices, and highlighted the importance of pre-collegeexperiences in guiding students in that choice. This demonstrates that interactions with undergraduateprograms have a measurable influence on major selection, which provides a great argument for STEMoutreach from engineering schools to middle and high-school students. STEM interest in middle and high-school students is sometimes difficult to predict. It relies onmany socio-economic variables, as well as academic settings in schools.
