conditions have on students’ education, we hope to better understandand highlight the circumstances that are preventing an increase in STEM diversity in NorthCarolina. We propose increasing the number of ethnic minority educators, improve culturaltraining for educators by implementing cultural relational teaching methods into standardcurriculum including more hands-on instruction, a redistribution of financial resources to statepublic educational institutions, including higher education, based on need instead of population.We believe these changes have the potential to increased interest and self-efficacy in math andscience for underrepresented minority students of North Carolina.I.

engineering educationA multitude of factors can influence student engagement and retention in engineering programs,such as students’ background and preparation, attitudes, behaviors, self-efficacy, motivation, andlearning strategies [2, 9]. As such, universities across the world are implementing initiatives thatseek to transform engineering education in order to increase student engagement and reducedropout rates from courses and programs [10-12]. These initiatives demonstrate that studentengagement is a multidimensional construct that needs to be approached through a holisticperspective that transcends the presentation of content in the classroom [13]. Instructors canappeal to students’ personal interests, offer opportunities for self-reflection, or

Eighty-five percent of the students strongly agreed or agreed that theworkshops helped them understand the work of engineers, and 78% reported the workshophelped them think like engineers. More than half the students reported that the workshop madethem think that they may want to become engineers. Additionally, 81% reported they learnedsome new engineering ideas they did not know before the workshop.Another

In this article, we use the term to represent an individual’s judgementof whether they feel welcomed and wanted in engineering. Stronger feelings of belongingnessresult in higher self-efficacy [1], engagement [2], and ability [3]. Conversely, a lack ofbelongingness has been identified as one of the top reasons that students leave a university [4, 5].Belongingness is imbued throughout a student’s educational experience, at both the classroomand university levels [1

The recorded and transcribedinterviews are the primary sources of data for this paper. During the semi-structured one-on-oneinterviews, students were asked approximately 20 questions regarding interest, identity, self-efficacy, and their relationship to their undergraduate ambassadors. These interviews typicallylasted 10 - 20 minutes. In this study, we focus on two questions asked, in which students ratedtheir enjoyment and perceived success in engineering: 1) Think about yourself doing engineeringin STOMP. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how much doyou like doing engineering? and 2) Think

Reasons for these feelings could be related toidealistic expectations of college or engineering in general, more difficult assignments thanexperienced in high school, or comparing to peers in a high-achieving peer group. In addition,students’ self-efficacy decreased over the first year of study, particularly for women students.However, both men and women experienced similar decreases in their value-related beliefs ofengineering [19].Importantly, researchers suggest that the potential impacts of the decrease in these expectanciesand value-related constructs on students

Priorstudies [1, 2, 5] have focused mainly on students’ analytical and design self-efficacy. Our studyadds to prior research by connecting the PBL experience to improved understanding of specificstatics concepts like two-force members, action-reaction pairs, and internal loads.There are several strengths and some limitations to our study. First, we used a robust, mixed-methods approach that allowed us to measure qualitative and quantitative changes in students’structural analysis skills. One limitation of the study is that we did not determine causality; inother words, we cannot definitively claim that the PBL
