disciplinesthat are not perceived by novice learners as computational in nature. Previous research indicates thatstudents majoring in subjects that are not programming-heavy might think they will not need these skillsin their careers, or they are less capable [1]. However, both students and professionals across differentengineering disciplines commonly accept that diversifying one's skill set makes one more marketableand favorably positioned for career advancement [2][3]. Additionally, studies suggest that materialsscience and engineering (MSE) faculty favor incorporating computational tools into their teaching andthink that computation is an essential component of the curriculum [4]. However, more research isnecessary to understand how students

This degree willproduce more technologically literate students who understand the principles of engineering andwho will apply them to the profession they choose to pursue as citizens of a deeply technologicalsociety, but will not produce more practicing engineers immediately or directly. Thesignificance of engineering lies mainly in its relation to other societal sectors. Clearly engineersmust be more aware of this interrelationship, and the leaders of other sectors must become

In the near future, both retirement and low retention couldcontribute to the predicted teacher shortages across the United States.Potentially, teacher shortages could affect schools across the entire United States.

indicates that 20.1% ofbachelor’s degrees in engineering are earned by women, who go on to hold only 14.5% ofindustry engineering positions (National Science Board, 2018). This increase in the alreadydisproportionate representation throughout engineering pathways offers a strong motivation tostudy women’s experiences and factors that influence their career decisions. Several studieshave examined the reasons that students leave engineering and have identified a strong sense ofself-efficacy as a key indicator of both retention and persistence. While self-efficacy can bedeveloped in variety of ways, research has shown that mastery experiences can be veryinfluential developers of self-efficacy in both men and women (Mamaril & Royal, 2008
