Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a set of scales intended to measure self-efficacy and mindset relating to advanced manufacturing. The scales were developed as part of a larger National Science Foundation funded project intended to create a set of online course and modules about advanced manufacturing. These courses and modules are intended to be completed by a variety of learners, including community-college students, 4-year university students, industry professionals, and informal learners who are looking to advance their skills. The scales will ultimately be used as measures to gauge the impact of the instructional activities being created as part of the NSF project.
