It is suggested to promoteactivities that can nurture students' self-efficacy beliefs, so that they can better take fulladvantage of the course, with a focus on academic success.Keywords: Self-efficacy, school performance, higher education.Introduction The concept of self-efficacy was first defined by Bandura [1] and was conceived as thebeliefs that an individual has about his or her own ability to organize and perform a certainaction [2]. These beliefs influence how people feel, think, are motivated, and behave. Morespecifically, there is a proposal to use the term self-efficacy in higher education

He also has been involved in the hiring of graduates from the engineering programanalyzed in this study. Participant B has more than fifteen years of professional experience incybersecurity, telemetry, and wide-area network deployments, during which period which he hasinteracted with recent graduates from the engineering program that is the object of our study. Weselected these two interviews for this initial analysis because of the contrasting responses thatthey gave.Preliminary findingsThe findings are reported

In some cases it is possible to use randomized experiments to pilot thesesolutions. A randomized experiment, also known as Randomized Control Trial, or A/B test, is anevaluation strategy that assigns participants into treatment and control groups randomly. Therandomization design is necessary to isolate the intervention as the cause of changes betweentwo groups (e.g., treatment and control), and not to some other co-occurring variation.

In this configuration, exploringhumanities topics serves as a source of inspiration and rarely feels as intrusive as in Figure 1 (a).Faculty-led trips make exposure to the societal factors in engineering design easier than the on-campus

The task for the students is to develop and test an imageclassification CNN using transfer learning and MATLAB to distinguish and identify the variousbottle cap orientations. A training set can be developed by the student teams, or they can utilizean existing bottle image dataset developed by a previous class (30 images per category). The useof existing image datasets can reduce the time required to complete laboratories. Other objectscan be optionally chosen by the students in the general area

Are there any other details you would like to add on before we conclude?Summary of ResultsQuestion 1 aimed to uncover the reasons why participants chose to join and remain on theirrespective engineering teams. A common theme emerged, highlighting two key factors that madethese teams special to each student. Firstly, the camaraderie among team members was highlyvalued, with participants describing the teams as close-knit environments where they formedmeaningful friendships and collaborated with large groups of people. Secondly, these teamsprovided an outlet for students to engage in design work freely, fostering creativity. Participantsexpressed appreciation for the
