自我效能感是一种相信自己能够达到一定水平的信念，对学生在工程和技术领域的保留很重要。开发提高自我效能的方法应该是工程项目的主要关注点。几个关键任务将进行调查，包括（a）设计项目的重要性，自我效能感在第一年的工程，和（B）使第一年的工程专业的学生感觉像工程师。一个基于团队的“基石”设计项目是由一年级工程专业的学生进行的设计和图形课程的一部分。两组一年级的工程专业学生进行了调查，（1）学生谁完成了课程和设计项目在第一个学期，（2）学生谁被录取在第二个学期提供相同的课程，完成设计项目之前。调查集中在班杜拉的四个确定的自我效能感的来源：（a）掌握经验，（B）替代经验，（c）社会说服，（d）生理状态，以及第五个经常添加的特征（e）驱动器和动机。此外，学生们被要求量化他们对“我觉得自己像一名工程师”这一陈述的同意或不同意。本文将介绍这两个群体之间的结果，将感兴趣的教师参与新生设计。
Self-efficacy, a belief that one can achieve a certain level of attainment, is important to student retention in engineering and technology fields. Developing ways to increase self-efficacy should be a primary concern for engineering programs. Several key tasks will be investigated including (a) the importance of design projects to self-efficacy in first-year engineering, and (b) making first-year engineering students feel like engineers. A team-based “Cornerstone” design project was undertaken by first-year engineering students as part of a Design and Graphics course. Two groups of firstyear engineering students were surveyed, (1) students who had completed the course and design project in first term, and (2) students who were enrolled in the second term offering of the same course, before completing the design project. The survey focused on Bandura’s four identified sources of self-efficacy: (a) Mastery experiences, (b) Vicarious experiences, (c) Social persuasions, and (d) Physiological states, as well as a fifth often added characteristic (e) Drive and motivation. Additionally, students were asked to quantify their agreement or disagreement to the statement “I feel like an Engineer.” This paper will present the results between these two groups and will be of interest to faculty involved in freshmen design.
