Identity-- or how one sees oneself, and is seen by others, in society— providesinsight into the dynamic, multi-faceted and individual nature of leadership development. Thisresearch builds on emerging research that has identified potential features of an identity-basedinstructional approach, but it is not yet clear how one might operationalize

The existing mentorship process in engineeringaccounts for surface-level similarities and rarely deep-level similarities in shared values, beliefs,and interests [17, 43]; however, the underlying mechanism by which the practice of mentorshipaffects female persistence in engineering remains an unmet challenge.
