perspective, we can also usediscourse identity to determine students’ internalization of the discipline’s ethical canons anddisciplinary identity based on how they discursively position themselves in relation to the valuesof the profession. For example, research conducted by Dannels [17] and Douglas and colleagues[43] explored the discursive practices utilized by students throughout a variety of academiccontexts. They found that students did not perceive themselves as engineers; they perceivedthemselves as students working for a grade that would lead them to graduate from an engineeringprogram. In these studies, these students utilized discourse to maintain their student identitiesand separated themselves from engineers. To strengthen the link

support one or more strategies throughout the academic program Figure 3. The strategy for teaching and learning creativity/innovation could be embedded in undergraduate and graduate curricula.As suggested by Figure 3, the strategy includes explaining the need forcreativity/innovation to first-year students, providing them with some neurosciencebasics, and introducing them to a subset of tools and basic, mostly hypotheticalapplications. This introduction to creativity/innovation could occur primarily within andas a small part of an exploring engineering, introduction to engineering, or similarpreferably first-semester course. Of course, the Need, Neuroscience, and Tools elementsof the strategy could be mentioned in other
