Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop a set of self-efficacy surveys for use in the graduate attribute and continual improvement (GA/CI) process to address the Futures of Engineering Accreditation Pathways (FEA) steering committee’s “Futures of Engineering Accreditation Path Forward Report” recommendations. Methods: We build on a 2010 project to develop a self-efficacy survey for accreditation purposes. The study involved an annual survey of final-year engineering students from 2010 to 2024 to assess the reliability of the survey questions. Results: The majority of the survey’s GA categories showed strong internal consistency; however, the results identified a need to improve the survey question in three categories. Changes to the survey structure were identified to improve participant engagement and alignment with the FEA’s Full Spectrum Competency Profile. Implications: This work has the potential to add students’ educational experience in the GA/CI process and support a move to full outcomes-based accreditation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
