MethodsThe databases ERIC and Google Scholar were used to locate preliminary sources. Combinationsof the following search terms were used: “Latinas/os/xs,” “Hispanic,” “engineering,” and“STEM.” Several articles were identified as potential sources of information, but only journalarticles that met the following inclusion criteria were considered: (a) published after the year2005; (b) population of interest included Latinxs; (c) focused on engineering or includedengineering within the larger STEM literature; and (d) studied K-20 education.

For some students, the inability togain gesture recognition in the basic four math functions prevented some of them from being ableto succeed in the more complex math tasks (tasks 12 and 13). For the majority of both of thosetwo tasks, students a) could not get the system to recognize the operational gesture and/or or b)just did not know how to solve the problem (with or without the system).

SCCT has threeoverlapping models aimed at understanding how people: a) Develop basic academic and career interests b) Make and revise their educational and vocational plans, and c) Achieve performances of varying quality in their chosen academic and career pursuits.Within these models, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goals, and other factors such asgender, race, barriers, etc. help shape a students’ career path. An example of a barrierwould be negative contextual influences, or adverse learning conditions5. These theoriesare somewhat foundational when understanding the constructs of self-regulation and self-efficacy.Self
