Paper ID #37304What Engineering Leaders Lead: The Career Outcomes of an EngineeringLeadership Program’s Alumni CommunityDr. James N. Magarian, Massachusetts Institute of Technology James Magarian, PhD, is a Sr. Lecturer and Associate Academic Director with the Gordon-MIT En- gineering Leadership (GEL) Program. He joined MIT and GEL after nearly a decade in industry as a mechanical engineer and engineering manager in aerospace/defense. His research focuses on engineering workforce formation and the education-careers transition.Dr. Reza S. Rahaman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Dr. Rahaman returned to MIT in 2018 after
satisfaction regardless of the venue. The typical way to show results from a 5-point Likert scale is to show the values indistribution bars. Visualizing in this way is helpful for research when measuring impact but lesshelpful to inform decisions on actions to take based on the results. In this work, we convert theresponses into a percentage to support program benchmarking and facilitate goal setting and thenuse that to assign a letter grade. We then convert the results from each student to a percentage bysumming up all the scores given by the student and dividing by 35 (i.e., seven items x five-pointscale). For example, a student who responds to the PS items with 5's to six items and 4 to oneitem, provides a score of 34 out of 35 possible points

lens of funds of identity in this studyallows for the exploration of leadership identity and engineering identity as related to Blackengineers' cultural identity. Leadership and engineering serve as professional identities that areclosely related to practical and institutional funds of identity, where this group's Black identityinfluences social and cultural funds of identity. Additionally, this work utilizes Ross et al.'s [27] lens regarding resilient identities. Intheir work, Ross et al. [27] considered how Black women in the engineering industry developand experience their identities. The researchers describe resilient identity as "a consistent view ofoneself in spite of contexts that threaten the congruency of those multiple
