opportunities can foster or hinder belongingness and identity development [7].Consistently, education researchers are investigating questions associated with students’ self-identification as professionals in their field of study. Factors such as gender, career goals, careerexposure, and academic success are predictors of this self-identification [9]. Vocational interests,occupational self-efficacy, occupational prestige are closely associated with each other, and withschool, leisure, and actual engagement in corresponding activities [10]. Career identity has beenlinked with career development [6]. The lack of adequate training, time, and incentives couldcreate tension with truly recognizing and forming professional identity. It is important that

pursuingengineering degrees [5-6]. This is particularly true for women in STEM [7-8]. Of the womenwho do graduate with an engineering degree, many seek jobs outside of the engineering industrymore often than their male counterparts. Many reports indicate that women leave engineeringjobs in part because of low self-confidence in their technical abilities. A study published by theAmerican Sociological Review shows that women express and feel less professional roleconfidence than men when in engineering [9]. This study, along with others, affirm that womenin engineering careers often have lowered self confidence in their technical competencies even ifthey persisted through getting an engineering degree [9-10].

The intended outcomes were to increase participants’retention, graduation, readiness, and transition to the workforce in their field, or to transitionto graduate school in STEM. The purpose of requiring educational enhancement activities was to help build self-efficacy, community connectivity, and professional identity.

engineering educationA multitude of factors can influence student engagement and retention in engineering programs,such as students’ background and preparation, attitudes, behaviors, self-efficacy, motivation, andlearning strategies [2, 9]. As such, universities across the world are implementing initiatives thatseek to transform engineering education in order to increase student engagement and reducedropout rates from courses and programs [10-12]. These initiatives demonstrate that studentengagement is a multidimensional construct that needs to be approached through a holisticperspective that transcends the presentation of content in the classroom [13].

In this article, we use the term to represent an individual’s judgementof whether they feel welcomed and wanted in engineering. Stronger feelings of belongingnessresult in higher self-efficacy [1], engagement [2], and ability [3]. Conversely, a lack ofbelongingness has been identified as one of the top reasons that students leave a university [4, 5].Belongingness is imbued throughout a student’s educational experience, at both the classroomand university levels [1

, insufficient preparation and barriers in recruiting into engineering programs at the K-12 level, low self-efficacy, lack of peer support, inadequate academic advising or faculty support, harmful stereotypes of particular groups that influence interactions in classrooms or in peer groups, and a chilly or unappealing climate [1- 9]. These factors may exist at the level of the institution, the engineering college, and/or the engineering-specific department. Given the current accreditation structure for engineering programs, students’ experiences may be more influenced by institution and college-level factors in their first two years, when they are taking basic science and breadth courses, and shift to department-level factors in their upperclassmen years
