problemsolving approaches and methods often linked to design thinking in a series of paneldiscussions, workshops and assignments. Previous research has demonstrated that betterlearning outcomes of sustainability related challenges are reached when multi-methodlearning experiences are produced [20]. Additionally, problem-based design challenges andteaching have been connected to increase awareness of societal issues, entrepreneurialintentions and innovation self-efficacy amongst engineering students [11,20,51], highlightingthe benefits of generatively applying knowledge within courses. Overall, the students abilityto implement the measured sub-themes of sustainability, ethics and collaboration in seven outof the nine sub themes improved statistically

has drawn even more attention to theunderrepresentation of women in computing. Women currently comprise only 15.7% of computingdegrees awarded, a proportion that has been declining in the past three decades. Some researchersbelieve that this is due to the fact that women experience lower perception of self-efficacy andhigher perception of computer anxiety (Ahuja & Thatcher, 2005; Venkatesh & Morris, 2000;Whitley, 1997). Many female students believe that traditional approaches of teaching computerscience are boring and uninviting (AAUW, 2000; Margolis & Fisher, 2002; Ashcraft et al., 2012).Therefore, gamification can be a potentially promising approach to enhance the engagement andenjoyment of computer science students.

This was uniformly important throughout the faculty narratives. All faculty mentioned methods to increase student interest in the project/field and support their self-efficacy as researchers. Further, the student survey, regardless of student gender, emphasized the importance of mentor “personal consideration.” (3) Mentors should provide career support, particularly for female mentees. While all undergraduate students should receive some level of career support, the female students surveyed indicated this as the most important role of the faculty research mentor

difficulties can consist of negative beliefs or thoughts that may“decrease the individual’s self-esteem and perceived self-efficacy, [and thus] …decrease theindividual’s confidence in his or her ability to make decisions” (Kleiman, 2004). Gati (1996)developed a taxonomy of career decision-making difficulties to explain possible sources ofvocational indecision. Examples of difficulties include lack of information about occupations,lack of information about oneself, internal conflicts, external conflicts, and dysfunctional beliefs,such as irrational expectations about the career-decision making process itself.Dysfunctional career thinking appears to have a large impact on STEM career choice in females.In a meta-analysis of literature exploring the
