Guild was held in the winter of 2022 at a large urban public university in theSoutheast. It gave students the chance to engage in experiential software projects,community-building activities, and mentorship from computing majors and industryprofessionals. In our research, we applied disciplinary identity theory, with a focus on computingidentity, to explore participants’ perceptions of the experiences and the impact of the Guild ontheir future computing aspirations. Towards this goal, we used a convergent parallelmixed-methods approach. We conducted pre- and post-workshop surveys of (n = 34) students’impressions and goals. In the analysis, we quantitatively assessed responses around students’computing identities and qualitatively evaluated open

The typical goal of projects like these is to have students apply fundamentalengineering theory (Mueller, 2002), and develop new skills that will benefit them in their futurecareers (Landis et al., 2024) (Forsberg et al., 2024). Students are often given the assignment tocreate a useful product, system, or analysis that showcases their engineering knowledge andskills and are then evaluated by their instructors or engineering professionals (Bechara, 2024).

In 2000, the NationalCouncil of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) transitioned the PE exam to amultiple-choice format and began allowing PE examinees to choose one of five civil engineering(CE) discipline specific exams instead of a broad problem-based exam. Beginning in 2022, allCE discipline specific PE exams transitioned to computer-based testing (CBT). In 2024, NCEESmodified the CE discipline specific PE
