engineer, and the thought of pursuing anengineering career was very intimidating. As I continued into graduate school and intoengineering education research, I found myself fascinated by student career pathways andprofessional formation. I conduct this work to gain a better understanding of this process andhow to help facilitate it in others so they can enter the engineering workforce as confidentengineers.Theoretical FrameworkThis study is grounded in social identity theory (SIT), which implies that membership in a group– in this context, in engineering – is constructed through comparisons of values and behaviorsthat members make between themselves and members of other groups [6], [7], [8]. Groupmembers use these comparisons to partially define

abouthow to be successful in an engineering degree as their continuing-generation peers. Moreover,both students have financial needs to meet through working, and juggling these work obligationswith their education remains challenging.Feelings of Belonging Grow Over TimeEstablishing a sense of belonging in engineering is an integral component of success inengineering education [23]. This feeling of belonging, often associated with inclusion,community, and well-being, was represented to varying degrees in the narratives. Since Parkerhas been integrated in the engineering education experience for a longer time, it is likely that hehas more deeply rooted connections on campus than Wyatt; however, since retention of first-yearengineering students may

She also studies how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belonging and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a 2016 National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning to understand engineering students’ identity development. She has won several awards for her research including the 2021 Journal of Civil Engineering Education Best Technical Paper, the 2021 Chemical
