Current and past implementations of the course indicate thatstudents gain the most from the course when they engage in both the MOOC and the hands-onbuild and launch section, but still gain a great deal of understanding and self-efficacy from theonline course alone. When taking part in the hands-on portion, students become more curiousand ask insightful questions they had not thought of during the earlier sections, indicatingqualitatively an increase in student interest in further pursuing rocketry. These results arecurrently being studied more quantitatively in implementation of the course at the universitylevel.The instructional design is structured as first learning the theoretical concepts via video lessons,and then applying the hands-on kits

Failing calculus freshman year canjeopardize four-year graduation, but ELLC students earned higher first semester math gradesthan non-participants (mean grade of 2.75, vs. 2.46 for the combined Other LLCs and No LLCgroups, p = 0.047). A third explanation is self-selection bias beyond what this study’s input andenvironmental variables can control for. ELLC participants may have greater interest, self-efficacy, and/or other non-cognitive factors that affect persistence in an engineering or STEMmajor.Interestingly, engineering student participation in non-honors Other LLCs appears to havelowered graduation rates.

To achieve this, we designed and implemented a Recognitionof Prior Knowledge (RPK) assessment for girl learners in rural Zimbabwe and Senegal.Our assessment recognizes students' prior knowledge relevant to the engineering curriculum andexplores their self-beliefs.

In his words: David: I always feel constrained to – not so much to be neutral, but to be studiously open to different points of view, ... teach tools, in this case like a mode of thinking ... – or maybe it’s not even a mode, just ... instilling in the students the confidence that they can think about these things on their own. David later explains that to him, being open means “not so much neutral as accepting, listening – so to speak – and curious.” David’s experience shows that politicization in the classroom

] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].

In many cases, females tend to feel they are neither competent enough nor have the ability to study disciplines that are traditionally male dominated. As a result, females end up having a negative attitude towards the STEM fields of study. This attitude towards the STEM study areas are further exaggerated when considering the fact that there are a limited number of female mentors, roll models, or peers to improve self- efficacy in this area. The Women in Technology Discussion Panel and Symposium is instrumental in stimulating interest

For engineering students, even if this value of mentorship is known,the process by which to find a mentor can be intimidating and awkward. For many, gender, race, andperceived self-efficacy define these limitations [9].A year-long intentional industry mentorship program was developed at the University of San Diego toaddress this lack of workforce preparedness and intimidation around mentorship.
