Future work should seek to integrate more qualitative data to arrive at meaningfulconclusions.Additionally, future scholarship should explore relationships between curricular interventions,such as distinctive capstone projects, for example, and other elements of the curriculum andcourse structures to identify trends that will inform practice, especially given the finding fromthis study that ET capstone students believe: It is important is it for me to become an engineeringtechnology professional. Finally, since a goal of identity-related research in ET education is to beable to make comparisons with conventional engineering or other STEM capstone experiences,the author recommends that future studies of

This importance is why communication is part of theABET Criterion 3B (3) an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication inbroadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and useappropriate technical literature [4].

introduction of new programs. Yet, engineering technology programshave a lot to build upon the present achievements in curriculum adjustments. Forexample, the most recent National Academies report lists only one program each with thewords “control” and “robots” in the title (Pearson et al., 2017). The process of makingcontrol engineering an integral part of traditional STEM programs and introduction ofnew programs continues to this day. Moreover, the transformed nature of the newgeneration of potential students provides additional support for the need of curriculumadjustments (Rossiter et al., 2023).The knowledge of the basics of control engineering has a potential to shift STEAMstudents’ approaches in problem-solving towards more sustainable paths

Additionally, a third view – the constructivist perspectiveargues that career success is socially constructed. In this view, career success is not static butrather socially constructed by personal values, individual decisions, and expectations withbroader structural and contextual influences (Dries et al., 2008; Santos, 2016). The constructivistview to some extent combines and integrates the objective and subjective perspectives on careersuccess.Within the context of tenure and tenure-track faculty in engineering, it is important to identifyobjective and subjective measures of career success. For example, objective
