Engineering Self-Efficacy, Interactions with Faculty, and Other Forms of Capital for Transfer Engineering Students

• In Event: General Conference Roundtables
  In Roundtable: Table 53: Transfer Students' Identities and Experiences

Abstract

In this exploratory study, we examine the extent to which relationships with engineering faculty and other forms of engineering-related capital (e.g., aspirational, navigational) are related to engineering self-efficacy among transfer engineering students. Findings in this study offer an alternative to a deficit perspective on transfer students in engineering.
