graduate level in a program at alarge research university. Their findings indicated that this relationship is supported. Theprogram focused on faculty-student collaboration in research where students participated in afaculty research project for 10-12 hours per week.Gates, Teller, Bernat, Delgado and Kubo Della-Piana [8] have investigated the use of theSystems and Software Engineering Affinity Research Group model at the University of Texas atEl Paso to provide a socialization mechanism and infrastructure to help engage a larger pool ofundergraduate students at various years in their undergraduate education that have a varyingdegree of skill levels into research projects. This model, based on a cooperative paradigm,integrated students into small

ground their work in well-defined frameworks that include a collection of traitsdeveloped within the context. Although this perspective provides easily definable lenses foranalyzing identity, more research is needed into the factors that influence students’ identitydevelopment – particularly those that are within the control of engineering educators. This paperwill provide a review of an engineering identity study, explore the challenges and affordancesinherent in this work, and discuss the practical implications for engineering educators andscholars.IntroductionIn the early 17th century, the philosopher John Locke developed a theory of mind that advancedthe idea that individuals are born as tabula rasa, or blank slate: the mind arrives in the

, novelty, and heavy collaboration [2]. Hackathons have beenused to:  Spur interest in computer science fields [3] [4]  Create innovations within companies [2] [5], for governments [6], and for research projects [7]  Provide applications of learning for undergraduate students both within the STEM fields [3] [8] [9] and in non-technical fields, such as marketing [10]Within an educational context, hackathons are very useful for stirring engagement and forcorrecting student perceptions of their program [3] [4] [10]. There is, however, limited literatureon hackathons being used in-class, with the “Markathon” [10] being one notable exception.Hackathons are usually, but not always, competitions [8]. Most
