Investigating the Effect of 3D Simulation Based Learning on the Motivation and Performance of Engineering Students (2010, background): “Many authors have highlighted the under-representation of females in engineering as well as their lower interest and performance in this field as compared to their male peers (Anderson and Gilbride, 2007; Lemons and Parzinger, 2007; Trenor et al., 2008).”
Women of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (2011, methodology): “…a career in science (e.g., giving back to their community, being a role model for girls of color, helping their family, wanting to make a difference in society) as tools for persisting in STEM (Espinosa, 2011; Trenor and others, 2008) and creating their science identity (Carlone and Johnson, 2007).”
Research literature on women of color in undergraduate engineering education: A systematic thematic synthesis (2020, background): “As a retention strategy, departments should offer opportunities for WOCE students to give back by mentoring younger college peers or by introducing engineering skills to students of color at a local high school (Alonso, 2015; DeCuir-Gunby et al., 2013; Mitchell, 2014; Trenor et al., 2008).”
Why Do Students Choose Engineering? A Qualitative, Longitudinal Investigation of Students' Motivational Values (2010, background): “SCCT has found application in understanding the career choices of engineering students (Lent et al., 2003, 2008a, 2008b; Trenor et al., 2008) and has some overlapping constructs with expectancy-value theory such as ability beliefs, outcome expectations, and interests (Lent, Brown, and Hackett,…”
