Student Identity: A Balancing Act between RolesAbstractGraduate students balance the roles of teacher, researcher, and lifelong learner at a point in theircareers when they are transitioning into professional identities. We examine the roles of studentsin engineering, education, and engineering education through a quantitative survey to betterunderstand their unique experiences.IntroductionGraduate students are often required to balance a variety of roles while completing theireducation and preparing for their careers. This transitional process is a critical part ofconstructing their professional identities. However, it is not clear how well students are able tobalance multiple roles or how well graduate programs support multiple role

However, engineering is different in manyways when compared to science, and those differences in the disciplinary practices should berecognized and emphasized [3]. A review of the literature identified sixteen practices ofengineers that were both unique to engineering and relevant to K-12 teaching [4]. Of particularinterest to our group has been persisting and improving from failure [5], assessing implication ofsolutions, and building and using models [6]. Recently, we have become particularly interestedin the ways groups of students and teachers approach balancing tradeoffs between criteria andconstraints in multi-objective problems [33].Few teachers have experience learning engineering [7], and even

My sense of identity refers to theway I see myself and the way others see me, in the engineering education context. Applying aninterdisciplinary understanding to position myself both within engineering and education, Iidentify myself as an educational engineer4,5,6: designing products, processes and systems tooptimize student learning.

Salient Identities as Predictors of Perceived Task Difficulty.​ This research paper examines the relationship between identity salience and task difficulty. Prior work found that students leverage researcher, scientist, and engineer identities when completing research tasks: this paper uses linear regression to test the salience (likelihood that identity will be leveraged in a given situation) of these identities as a predictor of task difficulty. Researcher identity salience was the strongest predictor of task difficulty, a relationship moderated by degree type (Master’s or Doctoral) [36].Graduate Student Experiences 1. Improving
