IntroductionThe perceptions and belief system of first year engineering students affects their self-efficacy,confidence, sense of belonging, satisfaction and other such constructs which are essential forshaping successful student experiences and outcomes. For example, Hutchison-Green [1] foundthat first year engineering students’ perception of their course success depended on their speed ofsolving problems and the amount of time taken to learn new material in comparison to theirpeers.

FGS students may seetheir salient identity as separate from engineering, but they choose to associate (major in)engineering and thus take on engineering’s group affiliation. Social identity serves as theoverlying structure guiding our work. This theory serves to potentially bridge the gap betweenengineering identity and belongingness to engineering. Additionally, the role of social capitalfalls into this theory as it serves to moderate entrance into the engineering group and thedevelopment of feelings of belongingness in engineering.

Interviews conductedwith people working in the STEM fields reflect the importance of K-12 experiences and howfamilial and educational aspects influenced their career path [5-7].In addition to early childhood programming, high school math achievement appears to be acritical factor in intent for a student to major in a STEM discipline. For example, exposure todifferent math and science courses prior to enrolling into a post-secondary institution isdemonstrated as important for a students’ math self-efficacy [8].

More and more STEMeducation research, as noted, now interrogates the student experience of low self-efficacy or self-confidence as a contributing factor to minority under-representation, but unusually, LfSN asks usto interrogate the political instrumentality of that interrogation. It helps us ask: Where does suchanalytical emphasis on individual agency locate responsibility for educational attainment or itsabsence? On another level, acknowledging the differences between this qualitative research andcustomary quantitative studies of STEM education regarding causal factors lets us see the“reciprocally constituted relations” between morals and ethics on one hand and scientific conducton the other.

They hypothesized thateducational, vocational, and avocational choices would be most directly related to person’sexpectations for success and the value they attach to the available options. Simply put, theEccles’ theory suggests that choices to engage in activities are shaped by competence and valuebeliefs. Competence is about acquiring skills and applying them. Competence beliefs have beenstudied more widely than value beliefs among K-12 and engineering students. They are mostlybased on the self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1997).

learning activity. The authors surveyed the participants pre and post participation. The survey instrument assessed each student’s interest and self- efficacy in STEM. This paper highlights the process of development and implementation, and shares a few of the key insights aggregated through the survey.Background The impetus for this study resulted from the Naval STEM Forum in 2011. At this forum Dr.Truscott was inspired by the Sponsoring Scholars in Science Funding Initiative in which seven majorchallenges were issued. One of the topics “Designing affordable sensors for the SeaPerch RemotelyOperated Vehicle” was extremely applicable to his previous experience with the SeaPerch program
