Uncertaintyfor this participant was a threatening factor towards her goal, as she stated, “you don't know whatthe future holds for you or the job, you don't know if you’re going to like . . . you

The instrument is being applied infive partner institutions to identify possible differences in perceptions in different types ofuniversities. We are aiming to identify relationships between the dimensions of culture and a)student choice of major, and b) student success within a major. In addition, we are conducting alongitudinal study to understand whether students’ perceptions about their academic programschange over time and under which circumstances, leading, to an actionable theory of engineering Page 26.369.12culture that can support pedagogies of inclusive

Student demographics by major are shown in Table1, and it is clear that a few majors are over-represented in our dataset as compared to engineeringundergraduate population as a whole. We list the majors as Major A, B, C,… to protect theidentity of the faculty and staff within those majors. In particular, Major A students appear in ourdataset about 30% more than their prevalence in the overall population, and Major E students ata rate nearly double their representation in the overall population. It is not clear why Major Astudents would be over-represented in our dataset. However, Major E tends to attract

SCCT, an offshoot ofAlbert Bandura’s social cognitive theory, attempts to address issues of culture, gender, geneticendowment, social context, and unexpected life events that may interact with and supersede theeffects of career-related choices. SCCT focuses on the connection of self-efficacy, outcomeexpectations, and personal goals that influence an individual’s career choice. SCCT proposes thatcareer choice is influenced by the beliefs the individual develops and refines from four majorsources: (a) personal performance accomplishments, (b) vicarious learning, (c) social persuasion,and (d) physiological states and reactions.

This framework was used as a techniquefor item creation, not to ever be used in the final instrument. As an example of this type ofbehavioral description for Curious, we find the following displayed in Table 1: “Asks questionsto get to the root of the problem.” This describes a behavior related to problem definition, a keytask early on in the innovation process, specific to the discovery phase. The purpose of thesematrices was to provide the research team with a more structured approach for item creation; anexample of the full behavior matrix for Curious is shown in Appendix B.
