In addition to new fields of endeavor, the introduction oftechnology, especially the personal computer, has greatly expanded the opportunities forexploration, testing, and publishing in all fields of science, technology, engineering and math(STEM). These achievements are a great boon for humankind, but a tremendous challenge foreducators as they prepare students to join, midstream, the rapid growth in STEM knowledge. This growth in

There is also a need to better understand the role ofenvironmental supports and barriers relative to choice and persistence in science andengineering majors10,13. Such research may shed light on the reasons why particulargroups of students are underrepresented within science and technology-oriented fields –and may suggest theory-derived methods to help attract and retain these students.In the present study, we administered measures of SCCT variables to engineering studentsat three universities (one predominantly White and two historically Black).
