This engineering education research project seeks to create a theoretical basis that can be used to guide interventions to engage under-represented students in engineering and build their self-efficacy. The project, based on Social Cognitive Career Theory, will measure the self-efficacy of minority and majority students at predominately white institutions to determine the types of interventions that are best able to improve minority students' self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is a strong predictor of academic career choice and persistence. The knowledge gained from this investigation will be used to design a research-based intervention to improve minority students' self-efficacy. Dissemination of the results of this project can inform intervention and outreach strategies aimed at under-represented students at other institutions, and may have lasting impact on the number of engineers who come from currently under-represented groups.

该工程教育研究项目旨在创建一个理论基础，可用于指导干预措施，以吸引代表性不足的学生参与工程，并建立他们的自我效能。 该项目以社会认知职业理论为基础，将衡量以白色为主的学校中少数民族和多数民族学生的自我效能，以确定最能提高少数民族学生自我效能的干预措施类型。 自我效能感对学业生涯选择和坚持性有较强的预测作用。 本研究将利用调查所得的知识，设计一个以研究为基础的干预措施，以提高少数民族学生的自我效能感。 传播这个项目的结果可以告知干预和推广战略，针对代表性不足的学生在其他机构，并可能有持久的影响，对工程师谁来自目前代表性不足的群体的数量。
