Funded by revenue collected from the H-1B visaprogram, which permits U.S. businesses to use overseas workers to fill vacant positions U.S.occupations, ITEST aims to remedy the shortage of highly skilled workers while also addressingthe diversity issues and inequities present in STEM fields

Engineering self-efficacy (e.g., succeed in engineering curriculum; excel in engineering major) was assessedusing items from a published instrument on engineering self-efficacy, and the scaledemonstrated internal consistency. Overall, students who reported more frequentinteractions with faculty (more than once), and lower perceived negative attitudes fromfaculty indicated higher levels of engineering self-efficacy.
