As engineering disciplines become increasingly diverse and complex,distinct training methods and disciplinary characteristics are playing a larger role inshaping the professional identity of these students. However, despite a large numberof studies focusing on doctoral training or professional identity, there is a relative lackof research on how engineering PhD students form professional identity in differentdisciplinary contexts.In
