studentsevaluation of teaching (SET) survey was conducted by CSU Chico Department of InstitutionalResearch which captured students’ attitude regarding self-efficacy using a Likert-type scale from1 to 5. This paper discusses the outcomes of this survey.Tags: Energy Conservation Measure, Engineering Thermodynamics, Energy Efficiency, EnergySavings, Central Utility Plant, Field Trip I. IntroductionPublic policy is a key driver of energy efficiency investment in the United States. State policiesthat support ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs, federal and state low-incomeweatherization efforts, energy efficiency programs administered by state energy offices, andbuilding codes and standards have been major contributors to the increase in energy

in year 1 but still less than the MS response (inJanuary) of 85% (data not shown). Compared to HS students, MS students exhibited greaterfeelings of self-efficacy about their ability to contribute toward solving issues related to energyand the environment, although the HS response went up between years 1 and 2 (data not shown).These findings are consistent with our earlier studies looking at energy-related attitudes andbehaviors, where MS students had more positive energy-related behaviors and greater feelings ofenergy-related self-efficacy than HS students [28]. The link between self-efficacy and behavioris consistent with the work of Bandura et al. [29] who provided empirical evidence that people’sbehavior is strongly influenced by the

- early and industry industry experts opportunities recruitment experts opportunitiesThe participants were surveyed about their experience with this project and encouraged to providefeedback. Overall, the diverse nature of the team involved in this project was instrumental to itssuccess. No one member held all of the knowledge needed to answer the research questions posed.Each member of the team was aware of his or her responsibility within the execution plan of theproject.Participating in projects such as these has been shown to build student self-efficacy as well as asense of belonging [14] [15]. These attributes contributed to the overall success of

postdoctoral mentor. The self-contained nature of summer research projects often contribute to the sense of isolation that doesnot accurately reflect contemporary research. We propose changing the program paradigm froma traditional faculty-centered approach to a student-centered learning community approach.Empirical studies tell us that learning communities can increase student engagement overtraditional didactic models. Students are expected to develop a greater sense of ownership andthus enhanced self-efficacy with regard to their personal research and collaborative abilities.
