The factor analysis for the CD-RISC yielded three resilience factors based on theresilience literature (in measure of Self- efficacy, Faith and Tenacity). The results showed thatthe all three factors from the ARS-30 were significantly correlated (r = 0.24 ~0.69) to the factorsderived from the CD-RISC measure (see Table 2).Table 2….

In a year-long study with 121 middle-school students (ages 8-11)who participated in weekly maker activities incorporated into school days, Chu et al., foundsignificant impacts on students’ science self-efficacy and identity, as well as, making self-efficacy and interest. The researchers developed a series of survey instruments for the projectthat they deployed in a pretest-posttest mode to measure youth’s interest, self-efficacy and self-identity with respect to making and science [1].In addition to the type of assessment and the specific tools used, the mode of deployment canalso impact results.

The subscales of interest in the present study are asfollows:   ● Intrinsic goal orientation (a measure that focuses on learning and mastery) ● Control of learning beliefs (beliefs that outcomes are the result of effort rather than luck) ● Self-efficacy (beliefs about competence and ability)Ideally, as the semester progress students will increase intrinsic goal orientation – thebelief that outcomes are the result of effort rather than luck, and increase self-efficacy.The Academic Entitlement Scale17 is also used as an assessment tool.

The app providesstudents with asynchronous opportunities for training, varied tasks that target specific FBDissues, and several levels of immediate feedback. We hypothesize that the gamifiedenvironment and puzzle-based gameplay will improve student skill and self-efficacy in drawingFBDs, particularly for women, who may feel less confident in their spatial skills. Data collected todescribe student experiences may also provide additional insight into how to improve FBDinstruction generally.In this paper, we detail the process for designing and implementing the app and provide initialdata regarding student impressions

students (URES) suffer 60% attrition in their freshmencohort leading to only 40% earning a B.S. degree in engineering. Three key reasons are poorteaching and advising; the difficulty of the engineering curriculum; and a lack of “belonging” withinengineering. Each, in some way, erodes a student’s self-efficacy, or confidence in his or her ability toperform [1]. The American Society of Engineering Educators conducted two recent national studieson freshmen engineering cohort retention: Going the Distance and reported the following B.S.degree completion outcomes by ethnicity: Asian Americans-66.5%, Caucasian-59.7% /Hispanic/Latino-44.4% , Native American-38.6%, African American-38.3%, and All Females-61%.

The first dimension is self-acceptance, which predominantly targets increasing self-efficacy and creating a strongersense of self among teachers. Faculty development programs have been shown to increaseteachers’ self-efficacy [12], which in turn improves student learning, motivation andcontentment [13], and improve teaching practices [14] as an outcome. The second dimensionis the positive relationship with others, which articulates the need for social support amongteachers to exhibit Well-being [15].

The stigma that engineering is a maledominated career field can subconsciously affect female students by reducing their confidenceand self-efficacy, and a correlation clearly exists between self-efficacy and success in STEMfields (11, 12).2.3 The LSES Minority Students of low socioeconomic status (LSES) have to overcome many barriers to gettingan education that other students do not face.
