During this period, we can betterunderstand how engineering students’ personal and social identities, which are their conceptionsof themselves as individuals and group members, engineering identities, which is theirconceptions of themselves as engineers, and ethical identities, which is their conception ofthemselves as people who identify with their professional ethics, develop. Reviewing these threeidentity types is valuable in identifying both their pre-established impacts on career choice andaspirations as well as the remaining gaps in literature that need to be filled such as the connectionbetween moral behavior and vocational choice [3] [4] [5
