researched inengineering education. Numerous studies have revealed that engineering recognition is connectedto increased student retention and an engineering student’s developing sense of belonging (Cribbset al., 2016; Hatmaker, 2013; Rover, 2008; Wang & Hazari, 2018). Additionally, recognition isinvaluable because of its capability to demonstrate how students form relationships withinengineering, its ability to verify the other two components of engineering identity, competencyand performance, and its ability to shed light on the experiences of underrepresented andmarginalized students in STEM (Carlone & Johnson, 2007; Rodriquez et al., 2017; Rohde et al.,2019). This topic has been studied using various methodologies (Godwin, 2016

This initiative aligned withrepeated calls from the National Academy of Engineering to broaden participation in engineeringamong underrepresented, first-generation, and low-income students (National Academy ofEngineering, 2004). Given that underrepresented groups in engineering also are included in thefastest-growing subpopulations within the United States, it is important for the field to bettermirror the demographics it serves. Community colleges have emerged as potential starting pointsfor a more accessible and cost-effective pathway to obtaining a bachelor’s degree in engineering(e.g., Grote et al., 2019).Community colleges are recognized as pivotal
