The sustained nature of our CAEcreated the opportunity to observe this kind of change in a participant-researcher.1 Note that, while Alex and Leslie had been working on the project for over a year, Audrey and Emily had juststarted. Therefore, we did not observe—nor expect—similar self-starting reflection behavior from them.Zach asked both Alex and Leslie to write a reflection about this self-starting.

At A&M, a LC is a group of students, faculty and industry that have commoninterests and work as partners to improve the engineering educational experience. LCs valuediversity, are accessible to all interested individuals, and bring real world situations into theengineering classroom. The key components of A&M engineering LCs at are: (1) clustering ofstudents in common courses; (2) teaming; (3) active/coopera tive learning; (4) industryinvolvement; (5) technology-enhanced classrooms; (6) peer teachers; (7) curriculum integration;(8) faculty team teaching; and (9) assessment and evaluation.

Using SCCT as our theoretical foundation, this work focuseson the development and validation of the Advisor Support and Self-efficacy for Thesiscompletion (ASSET) instrument with graduate students pursuing master’s and doctoraldegrees in engineering disciplines.Our resultant construct of Thesis Self-efficacy measures the confidence that a student has in theirabilities to complete specific tasks that are key to the writing of their dissertation, thesis, orapplied project report, while our Advisor Support construct measures a student’s perception

The goal is to encourage students to step back, as it were, and reflect on things thatwent well and things that didn’t go so well; we also encourage them to consider ways to avoidsuch pitfalls in the future and build on what they’ve learned. For example, the portfolioassignment asks students (as part of the assignment) to provide thoughtful responses to whateach of them has learned about their strengths and weaknesses as a writer (such as their use oflanguage, organizing their writing effectively, and developing clarity in their writing), and whatareas each of them will continue to work on as they move forward. We also ask them to considerthe value of the two peer reviews we have conducted during two writing labs, where studentsboth give and

Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.
