As seen in Figure 1,Joseph’s perceptions of engineering decreased in the traits initially identified. Joseph explainedthat his decreased perception was a result of a change in his perceived level of difficulty. DueJoseph becoming more confident in his abilities to engage in the skills of an engineer, by the endof camp, Joseph states “I can [become an engineer], but I just don’t want to waste time.” Thisstatement is a direct reflection of the mismatch in Joseph’s personal interests with his pre- andpost- perceptions

, can reflect their self-efficacy and may correlate to performance/competence with respect to their engineering identity.Attribution theory describes student perception of the cause of an outcome [4]. Attributions inacademia may include effort, knowledge, or ability and are strongly connected to emotions [4].Emotions generally influence daily choices. The way an individual reacts to the outcome of thesechoices may influence future behaviors. However, it is the student’s perception of attributionswhich emotionally influence motivation. Two students may attribute an outcome to the samecause, but view the characteristics of the cause very differently. We are particularly interested inhow these attributions may vary with strength of engineering

betweenunderrepresented minority (URM) and non-URM students with respect to engineering identity.Understanding these differences is important in developing programs that target a particulargroup. For example, one key programming component for URM students may be providing themwith opportunities to join organizations that reflect their cultural and ethnic identities. Toillustrate, Revelo interviewed 20 LatinX engineering students who attended the Society forHispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) conference [11]. The interviews indicated that studentsfelt they developed professional and leadership skills through their membership in SHPE, withworkshops and the conference itself playing a significant role in that development.

This paper describes the design elements of the course andmodules and a data set that illustrates the design supports students’ use of multiple learningresources.IntroductionA course on electronic circuits is common in engineering programs. It is often a challenging onefor novices because it relies on the abstract ideas of electron motion, charge build-up reflected involtage, and time-dependent responses. While sensing, instrumentation, and measurement arecommon activities in engineering, introductory circuits courses often focus on concepts andanalytical approaches to circuit

In the first section, students were askedabout their major selection and influences on deciding on that major. For example, “In thinkingabout how you selected your major, who, if anyone, contributed to your choice? What courses, ifany, prepared you for your major?” Participants were also asked to reflect on factors orcharacteristics that are required for success in the

Specifically, some participantscould not identify mental health and academic counseling resources readily available in theirengineering programs, suggesting a lack of accessibility.

Students reflected that they would like to participate more STEM related activities inthe future.Introduction/BackgroundNowadays, more and more scientists, engineers and innovators are needed to succeed in theglobal competitive economy environment. As a result, this requires quality science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. However, few American students pursueeducation and training in the STEM fields. After noticing this challenge, the whole STEMsociety has made great efforts to increase STEM-related activities, which have the potential topromote collaborative learning and inquiry as well as to contribute to the development of the21st century skills
