Self-efficacy refers to the state of mind that allows a student to move aheadthrough the inevitable obstacles and failures that are part of the learning of a difficult body ofknowledge and skill 2,3,6. The required course in mechanics is often the student’s first encounterwith genuine engineering concepts and problems. Unlike physics, the problems are “real world,”complex situations where the first task is often clearing away irrelevant clutter to see anidealization of the structure to be analyzed.

Initially associated withmedicine and erroneously ascribed to the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere came intowidespread usage in the early 20th century18 and has served as a guide for professional practicein any area related to the public good.
