To achieve this goal, the collaborators have built onresearch, best practices, and evidence-based findings from other projects including severalcollaborators’ NSF/DUE S-STEM and STEP projects.2-1. GoalsThere are six overarching goals of the Urban STEM Collaboratory project. All project activities,evaluation, and research efforts were designed with these goals in mind. The six goals include:Goal 1. Increase the recruitment, retention, student success, and graduation rates of academicallytalented undergraduate mathematical sciences and engineering majors with financial need.Goal 2.

Kennedy [5] studied the effects ofeach of these experiences and found them all to increase self-efficacy in engineering skills. Furthermore, researchershave identified spatial ability as important for engineering modeling and design [7]. This systematic literaturereview examines the relationship between spatial abilities and self-efficacy in engineering.INTRODUCTIONDeveloped by Lent [8], the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory[6], posits that self-efficacy is critical to later career success. The building blocks of SCCT are self-efficacy,outcome expectations, and goals

Telling personalstories allows students to explore their reasons, ideas, hopes, fears, and feelings related to theiridentities as engineers and scientists. Students can connect their past selves with their current andimagined future selves to be able to understand their roles and paths forward in their careers [3].Storytelling can be leveraged this way because stories tend to exhibit similar general themes thatinclude redemption, contamination, or agency which can impact the storyteller’s mental health.Redemption stories exhibit a negative to positive

In recognition of this, the National ScienceFoundation has instituted programs meant to make the choice of engineering and science as acollege major more attractive and financially affordable; e.g. the CSEMS Scholarship Program,available at many colleges and universities.2In our opinion, waiting until a student is enrolled in college to entice him or her into engineeringor science is too late.

important psychological dimensionof STEM student success.A sense of self-efficacy develops from a person’s evaluation of their past performance (i.e.,efficacy expectations) and their belief in their ability to shape future performance in a desireddirection (i.e., outcome expectations) [4]. Self-efficacy beliefs impact students’ motivation [5]and goal setting, including STEM career goals [6]. Self-efficacy has also been found topositively relate to academic performance such that higher self-efficacy leads to both the settingof higher goals and greater task-related effort, which together improve academic performance[7]. An accurate, rather than over- or under-confident sense of self-efficacy, is key forperformance within a domain (see: [8]). It is
