, factors like campus social climate [9], academicmentoring [9], [10], and racial microaggressions [11] can damage their sense of belonging andaffect their future in engineering.We base our definition of Engineering Identity on Hazari et al.’s [12] definition of physicsidentity as the interaction of Recognition, Performance, Interest and Competence in the field ofEngineering. This concept was further investigated by Kendall et al. [13], who studied factorsinfluencing engineering identity of Latinx students by including personal and social identities tobetter understand the development of Latinx students as engineers. An example of the impact ofpersonal and social identities on engineering identity is the research conducted by Revelo aboutthe

For example, thereare many points in their academic careers that women may choose to enter or exit a chemicalengineering program. The problem of attrition in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) more broadly has been widely studied. The most famous study is theethnographic study conducted by Seymour and colleagues that investigated reasons why studentschoose to leave STEM. One of the most cited reasons for leaving STEM in the original study waspoor teaching in STEM courses; this remained true in the

the data" (p.56). However, engineers are often more familiar with quantitative methods and summarizingtheir findings using numbers [2], which substantially limits the use of qualitative methods.According to Jackson, Drummond, & Camara [3], the goal of qualitative research involves"understanding human beings' richly textured experiences and reflections about thoseexperiences" (p. 22). As engineers have become familiar with qualitative methodologies [1-2],researchers have begun to explore different types of approaches to illuminate the humanexperience. It is clear that different engineers, engineering students, and engineering facultyexperience their education and careers differently, which modern studies have only begun todescribe [4-6

regional campuses, nor are they reported to the central campus. The objective of the first-year engineering curriculum is to provide an opportunity for students to explore engineering disciplines so that students can make informed decisions about their careers. So, these two courses achieve the goal of training these students for their second year of the degree program.5. Role of Administration: It was noted earlier that the regional campuses get limited funding to run the campus businesses. However, there is a process of submitting a budget to the central campus. Engineering coordinators submit the budget each year to the fiscal office. The purchases made for the lab supplies and equipment have to go through the university

This work is part of anongoing effort of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded study to explore a closed-looppower engineering education and learning approach for meeting the nation’s urgent needs for ahighly qualified Smart Grid workforce. The research question guiding this study is: What skillsare required from the ECE graduate students to serve the SG industry better?MethodsTo create a list of learning objectives that will be the stepping stone for an ECE curriculum tobetter serve the smart grid industry, the research team conducted a qualitative research study atRowan University following the

However, it is crucial topoint out that contrary to certain misconceptions that view research on a linear path, this researchended up being an iterative use of both quantitative and qualitative instruments. The analyzed datafor this study include surveys, in-person and virtual classroom observations, teacher reflectionjournals, classroom artifacts, school policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with 37engineering faculty members, 2 provosts, 5 engineering college deans, and 2 students.IRBThis study is approved for study by the Purdue Institutional Review Board.
