-efficacy has been identified as an importantfactor in predicting student outcomes [12], [13].Engineering also represents an interesting domain in terms of academic self-efficacy becausesuccess in engineering often requires not only academic ability in the traditional sense (i.e., tolearn and perform well in a course), but also the ability to actually make products successfully.Several fields of engineering at Carnegie Mellon University have a heavy focus on the latterability, and that is the ability explored here. This paper investigates elements of self-efficacy in afreshman engineering course that is founded not just on students’ ability to learn concepts, butalso to plan and execute tasks with accuracy.

In both instances, students gained field-specific technical knowledge, as well asexposure to larger, more open-ended problems in the environmental engineering field whichprovided creative and sustainable-thinking opportunities for all students, research experiences forsome students, and career shifts for a couple of students.In terms of research students, it seems clear that the research opportunities had a large impact onstudents personally and professionally. To improve their experiences, I would like to try to ensurethat all students get to work with a partner.

Observation of a need or difficulty. 2. Analysis of the need. 3. A survey of all available information. 4. A formulation of all objective solutions. 5. A critical analysis of these solutions. 6. The birth of a new idea. 7. Experimentation to test and refine the most promising solution.As previously mentioned, the first step in the inventive process is ‘observation of a need ordifficulty’ followed by ‘analysis of the need’.

Because of the rigid and time-bound structure of the program,the mentors had to ensure the plan was achievable within eight-weeks and that the intern wouldhave data to present at the conclusion of their summer internship. Additionally, the interns’limited background knowledge and lack of research experience required that mentors createprojects that specifically fit their abilities.

The most basic idea of a Gantt chart from 1917 of what is required andin what order developments should occur is crucial, but these charts can be improved on byallowing users to adjust timelines on the fly [11]. Many so-called DevOp tools have beendeveloped over the last decade to facilitate tracking of software development, bug tracking, andentire life-cycles for software [12]. The idea is to adapt, iterate, and prioritize working quicklyand deftly rather than following a plan [13].
