The answer was to betterutilize an existing resource – the GTAs who assessed student work.Evolution of GTAs and Writing in EngineeringIn the last fifty years, the literature on GTA training has evolved from non-existent to discipline-specific, with the need for such training undisputed but the content of the training of moreinterest lately [5-9]. In addition, GTA self-efficacy, which involves “beliefs in one’s capabilitiesto organize and execute the courses of action required to produce given attainments” [10], hasalso been the subject of research [11-12]. Additional research has been done in training GTAs toteach writing in composition courses [13-15] and

These scores tended to vary widelybetween individuals; at institution B the average individual confidence scores ranged from 13 to100 (Table 4). For incoming first year students to feel fully confident (score=100) in their abilityto identify, understand, and assess the social, economic, and environmental elements, risks,impacts, and interdependencies as related to engineering projects seems to represent naïveunderstanding of the true complexities of these challenges.

Another study [16], including 75 students in anintroductory solid mechanics course, measured students' self-reported trait mindfulness at thetime of completing the mindfulness instruments. This study did not conduct mindfulness trainingwith the students. However, the self-reported mindfulness measures revealed that traitmindfulness does not correlate with students' final grades or mechanics self-efficacy butpositively correlates with business skills self-efficacy.

Students whose identities align with their academic community experienceincreased persistence and better retention [25, 49-52].Engineering identity has also been linked to improved sense of belonging, or the feeling ofbeing included in the engineering community [53]. Students are more likely to stay in theirengineering programs if they feel they are part of that academic environment [54-55]. Sense ofbelonging has also been positively correlated to academic engagement and self-efficacy inSTEM disciplines [56]; factors that are also linked to retention [57].Engineering identity and sense of belonging become even more important when consideringhistorically underrepresented groups in engineering.

However, point values wereincreased for the second Cohort and the data remained collapsible.Finally, it is possible that the measures used in the present investigation are not actuallypredictive of persistence in an engineering program, and therefore the null result we founddepicts the true state of reality. There are myriad components to self-regulation beyond thesubset chosen for this study. For example, self-efficacy, or the personal belief that one can orcannot accomplish particular tasks in particular domains, has been linked to academic outcomes[16], as have implicit theories regarding the source of one’s intelligence in subsequentimplications for outcomes [17, 18].

These questions were crafted as the authors had previously observed thatmiddle school students abandoned the idea of becoming an engineer either because of lack ofself-confidence in succeeding as an engineer or lack of understanding of what engineers do (e.g.,more than build bridges, make cars, and work at chemical plants). The survey began with a set ofLikert-type statements to determine students’ interest and self-efficacy in engineering with thechoices: yes, a lot; yes, a little bit; not sure; probably not; and no way (see Appendix B).

More specifically, Dou et al. found thatinformal STEM experiences including “science consumption” through STEM activities at homeand conversations with family and friends about science “were predictive of STEM identity incollege” [7]. Further, research shows that social capital is key to broadening participation inSTEM; Saw suggests that a student’s social capital is “derived from families, peers, teachers, andprofessional networks” and supports their academic performance in STEM subjects as well astheir career trajectory in STEM pathways [8
