For more than a generation, studies have shownreligiously engaged individuals to be more civically engaged (Wuthnow, 1999; Lewis, Mcgregor &Putnum, 2013; Rockenbach, 2020). This characteristic may directly relate to women from religiouscommunities finding more meaning in careers such as engineering as they relate to contributions tobroader society.Women are less prominent in engineering fields than men (Pawley 2019).

IntroductionThe societal role of engineers has steadily evolved from a technical problem solver to that of a“technical mediator,” in which engineers engage with stakeholders to define the problem, ideate,and develop solutions [1,2]. Yet, engineering curricula still tends to focus on guiding studentsthrough problems that can be answered in a single, technical solution [3], ignoring thecomplexities needed to prepare students to solve real world problems [3, 4]. As stated bySchwartz et al. [2], “of particular interest to educators are

Therefore, engineering identity can be defined as the construct thatengineering students and professionals construct at the intersection of their perception ofthemselves and their career in engineering [8-9]. Research shows that engineering identity isdirectly correlated to personal values that can assist in the development of becoming an engineerand their understanding of engineering as a field. This development can lead to the enhancementof the altruistic and individualistic goals of engineering students [8]. Student’s engineeringidentity development is needed for a growing engineering program and

All results taken together demonstrate how understanding individuals’ experiencesthrough early childhood and high school can evolve or stagnate with age and development.1. 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]. Perception is a subjective evaluation of these experiences, and thus,positive and negative experiences differ from person to

Based on these observations and theliterature, the recommendation is made to engage undergraduates in research early in theiracademic career, during their first or second year. Benefits for undergraduates in research overtheir academic career can result in these students continuing with the graduate program at theirhome institution or at other institutions.The Kern Foundation recognized the importance of undergraduates in research and sponsored aRequest for Proposal (RFP) to address this topic.

, departments and universities often rely on aprofessional development driven approach to establish community. While useful, these effortsare misdirected because literature shows that women’s isolation and lack of sense of community,rather than lack of career preparedness, contribute to attrition from graduate programs. To besteradicate this isolation and lack of belonging among graduate women in engineering, we took auser-centered approach. Community-led, stakeholder-centric, participatory research is astakeholder-owned means by which to elicit community member needs. This process translatesinto strategies that are developed by community members themselves to address those needs.The authors of this paper developed a pilot survey distributed to all

motivational aspects might also be crucial determinants for determining theperformance and perseverance of engineering students [3].Many engineering students in Bangladesh are primarily motivated by their own aspirations.Increased self-efficacy is mainly congruent with the idea of greater ambition.

Nevertheless, this study argues that studentsconsider writing skills and collaborative work less important for their career development.Regarding those mentioned above, it has been widely documented that university studentsrequire a broad set of skills to be successful in their careers.
