From interview data, the student described how the attainment of hisengineering degree was one of many of his ongoing responsibilities, and thus he did not seek outstrong connections within his department. His interview data also revealed a lack of careerreadiness, as he only had a vague idea of what an engineering career might entail. Recognizingthat some students who view degree attainment as a transaction (i.e., they prioritize efficiencyover engagement) may not value traditional means of support and professional preparationwithin their engineering programs, we ask the research question: "What are the unique valuesand

IntroductionIt is the unique experiences and perceptions of an individual which develop personal identity;often each of those experiences are heavily influenced by others surrounding us [1-2]. One’schoice in a college, or major, or even a particular career path is shaped by both positive andnegative perceptions of prior experiences, often emerging from passions or interests developedthroughout childhood [3].
