However, as with the 4S and theCIS, the critical vision scale is also science oriented, and thus administering a modified versionof the scale would likely find much stronger results.LimitationsThese results confirm that the 4S does not function poorly for Engineering/Technology, but thedeflated effect sizes indicate that a more refined measure of engineering identity and engineeringcareer intentions are still needed. The age of the data (collected in 2010) and the focus on sciencestudents are also drawbacks of using the current data in this analysis

The general module is taught in the context of datamanagement/analysis using different software packages. Based on these skills, discipline-specific modules were created for each engineering major offered at the Vanderbilt School ofEngineering (VUSE).
