attritionrate among STEM doctoral students is as high as 50% [2], and retention of students fromtraditionally marginalized groups continues to be of special concern [3]. These studies alsoindicate that strong engineering identities and clear future goals are critical to student success[4]–[6], but often fail to include graduate students as a population distinct from undergraduatestudents [7]–[9]. To begin remedying this gap, the GRADS project was proposed, a qualitativeand quantitative investigation of engineering doctoral students’ (EDS) experiences, identities,and motivation [10].As the first step in this process, three qualitative studies were conducted with an EDS sample[11]–[13]. This was done both to investigate whether EDS framed their

grant to study engineering students’ beliefs about their own intelligence.The purpose of this project is to both study students’ beliefs about intelligence as well as trainnew researchers in the field, including a professor and graduate student with no prior experienceor training in conducting engineering education research.Using a cross-sectional qualitative study, we are trying to answer the following research questionand subquestions:How do undergraduate engineering students characterize their beliefs about the nature ofintelligence?• How do students perceive the nature of their own intelligence? 1• How do student perceptions

Groen, Virginia Tech Dr. Cassandra Groen is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Engineering Education and the Myers-Lawson School of Construction at Virginia Tech. Her primary research interests include pro- fessional identity formation in undergraduate civil engineering students, grounded theory methods, and theory development. Her current work includes the exploration of professional identity formation in civil engineering students who experience disabilities and the ways in which this identity is influenced by stu- dents’ academic relationships, events, and experiences. Dr. Groen holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines
