77 college students chose to continue to the next more demanding firstcourse intended for CS majors, CS61A.Research MethodsFormative, mixed-method research was conducted to test out the effectiveness of Beauty and Joyof Computing (BJC) curriculum as implemented in UC Berkeley’s CS10, in attracting historicallyunderrepresented students. To gain a comprehensive analysis into the socio-curriculareffectiveness of the BJC curriculum as the first class in a student’s CS trajectory, it wasbenchmarked against CS61A—the first class for majors, and increasingly, for non-majors aswell.Survey instruments were developed to measure participants’ self-reported efficacy along severaldimensions. To determine the role of identity and self efficacy; as well as

of leadership identity, and, second, theywould be more likely to view themselves as a leader (Komives et al., 2005). The assumption thenis that the recognition required to view oneself as exercising leadership, regardless of position,requires both self-efficacy and sense of confidence built from developing competence inengineering knowledge and skills, as well as a strong sense of belonging in the community ofpractice. This sense of self-efficacy around engineering leadership then propels students into thefinal two stages of leadership identity development—generativity and synthesis—where theyhave assumed leadership roles and are now concerned with mentoring and preparing newstudents for entry into the engineering community of practice.

As a community engagement, empowerment, and self-efficacy strategy, STEM-UpTMintends to indirectly impact a long-term return on investment on traditional academicperformance measures. Such a large-scale undertaking is a unique approach to STEM educationawareness. To accomplish this undertaking, STEM-UpTM seeks to drives transformative changeby leveraging the existing cultural richness of the community toward STEM.In its design, STEM-UpTM relies on the parents and teachers as STEM Ambassadors, who areinformed with the tools and resources to change the apprehensions and negativities associatedwith math and science

Additionally, the use of co-created rubricsis an inclusive teaching practice that can improve confidence and self-efficacy. It speeds up futuredetailed feedback, as the students and instructors have a similar understanding about the elementsof the rubric and may enhance self-regulated learning [2].

Methods ofteaching can be broken down into four categories; instructor centered, interactive,individualized, and experiential [4]. Instructor centered learning primarily involves one-waycommunication from the instructor to the students.

Moreover,being a critical part of a larger project promotes interdependence among the players onmultidisciplinary teams, which tends to develop the self efficacy of the individual in terms oftheir own ability to contribute, recognizing the contribution of others, and the ability to “speakthe language” of the other members and even make contributions in their domain.1The emphasis of the project was on the engineering design process within a multidisciplinaryteam, while the technical scope was designed to be a vehicle for this process while introducingtechnical concepts that the students would study in depth later in their programs. The technicalscope was therefore
