More recently, Wheadon and Duval-Couetil (2018) created a “capital framework” thatoutlines categories of barriers that control access, participation, and persistence in technologyentrepreneurship. This framework moves beyond social and financial capital, to explore howhuman capital (e.g. education) and cognitive capital (e.g., self-efficacy) are also factors inviewing oneself as a technology entrepreneur.Women currently face negative stereotypes about their competence in STEM fields as well assimilar stereotypes about their entrepreneurial abilities (Gupta et al., 2009), leading scholars todescribe technology entrepreneurship as "doubly

Along with varying by year of study, another study showed that the motivation of studentsis not stagnant but evolves throughout their time studying, with some motivation factorsbecoming more important than others [3]. There are multiple questionnaires that investigate themotivation of students, for this study the MSLQ is utilized.The MSLQ is a self-assessment questionnaire utilizing a Likert scale, rating a list of questions ona scale of “not true to me” to “very true to me.” This study specifically views five motivationfactors, which are gathered using this questionnaire: cognitive value, self-regulation, anxiety,intrinsic value, and self-efficacy.

We will continue to enrich theexperiences of the attendees by exposing them to STEM undergraduate and graduate studentsthat connect to their ethnic and cultural background. The goal is for undergraduate and graduatestudents to facilitate the informal learning experiences for the summer camp participants. Theintentional hiring of camp counselors will also be matched by intentional professionaldevelopment that will give a baseline understanding of the facilitation of the camp content toalso address increase self-efficacy, value, and STEM and Engineering identity

While theextrinsic motivation factors such as grades, graduation credit requirement, and salaries, remain adriving force, more students may have started to develop rationale behind their learning activitiesand discover the inherent value of being an engineer. These intrinsically motivated students areoften empowered by their self-efficacy and self-expectancy [21-23]. Again, perception matters. Ifone believes the ability to reach the goal and expects to create great value, then this individual ismotivated to act. Also, classroom environments can facilitate or harm intrinsic motivation,curiosity, and the desire for challenge according to how

students to have for creative concept generation in engineering design [11].Mohammed and colleagues found that a higher tolerance for ambiguity increased the self-efficacy, satisfaction, and conflict resolution of students working on an engineering designproject [12]. Based on the existing literature, it can be argued that students with a highertolerance of ambiguity will be better suited to engage and solve contemporary problems faced by21st-century engineers due to the skills they may gain from this ability. In contrast, students witha lower tolerance of ambiguity may be unmotivated in an engineering work environment andstruggle to perform well. Given this reality, pedagogical innovations, shown to increase studenttolerance of ambiguity, have

However, metacognitive skills, actionbehaviors related to academic success, and high school GPA were the three factors that emergedas predictors of college GPA. This research supported Borkowski’s 10, 11 model of academicachievement based on the dimensions of metacognition and affective factors. Metacognitioninvolves a knowledge of learning strategies and using these strategies in an effective andefficient manner. The affective component involves factors such as self-efficacy, motivation,and locus of control. Research supports the role of

from consideringengineering as a major or choosing engineering as a career. Barriers/Retention ChallengesAccording to Bandura’s self-efficacy theory [33], a person’s belief about his/her ability tosuccessfully perform a task may be an important factor in the choice of certain behaviors oractivities. Wigfield and Eccles [34] built upon Bandura’s theory by arguing that in addition to self-efficacy, an individual’s choice of activities and behaviors will depend not only on how well theindividual believes that he/she will do on a given task, but will depend also on the value that theindividual places on the activity or behavior. According to this theory, expectancy and valuedirectly influence achievement choices. If

This belief in self, or self-efficacy, influences a student’s career decisions.16 Self-efficacy is important in persistence in engineering and can be positively influenced if experiences allow students to reflect on what they have accomplished and see how that can influences their future success

Motivational and affective beliefs that students bringto learning contexts directly affect their persistence and effort15. Two aspects of motivation havebeen shown to impact learning the most. These are the degree to which students think that theyare capable of completing a learning task (self-efficacy)16 and the degree to which they think thatthe activity is valuable to their long term future17, 18.

of knowledge development, identification with thediscipline, and navigation through benchmarks. Each of these three dimensions becomes morecomplex over the course of an undergraduate career, as the knowledge to which engineeringstudents are held accountable becomes more aligned with ill-structured workplace problems [10]and identity formation becomes a “double-sided” process requiring both self-efficacy and beingrecognized by others as belonging to the engineering community [9]. Grounded in this multi-dimensional perspective on the undergraduate engineering trajectory, we examined the influenceof the capstone project not only on traditional engineering expertise but also on the waysstudents were identifying with the discipline and navigating
