globally. To be ready to enter the workforce upon graduation, today’s engineering studentsare expected to develop the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to engineering careers in theirundergraduate years. The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) has determinedthat fundamental skills include social skills, such as how to communicate effectively or function inmultidisciplinary teams, as well as proven technical skills, such as an ability to apply knowledge of math,science, and engineering [6], [18]. These skills can be referred to collectively as 21st century skills as theyprepare an engineer for contemporary work [7].The acquisition of 21st century skills by undergraduate engineering students may be catalyzed byengaging

Baillie et al. [2] detail eight characteristics of threshold concepts: Liminality (the journey of crossing the threshold), Transformation (an epistemic shift), Integration (the sense of something “clicking together”), Reconstruction (an ontological shift), Irreversibility (the understanding of concepts cannot be undone), Boundedness (each concept explains a specific sub-domain of a discipline), Troublesomeness (concepts

argue thatproviding opportunities to foster contextual awareness and student engagement should result ingreater satisfaction for all students.BackgroundEducators, professionals and policy-makers alike recognize that contemporary engineering mustbe studied and practiced in context. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) envisions an“Engineer of 2020” who demonstrates “dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility” to designfor an uncertain and rapidly changing world.1 Contextual conditions like a fragile globaleconomy, increased mobility of jobs and workers, rapid development of information andcommunication technologies, growing calls for social responsibility,2 and rising complexity ofengineered products3 all warrant engineering students
students lack a clear vision of themselves as engineers in thefuture. Because engineering, science, technology and management are blending into a whole,she believes that the formerly well-defined boundaries around what constituted engineering arebecoming less distinct. As engineering expands and career trajectories become increasinglycomplex it can be expected that students will find “engineering” increasingly difficult tovisualize and navigate 44. As students are faced with ever more complex career possibilitieswithin engineering, educators need to help raise students’ awareness for these opportunities andactively help them connect course content to the actual work of practicing engineers. This couldhelp students develop a more specific vision of

students formulate as they come toidentify with various social, academic, personal, and professional groups. Simply speaking,identity is not as singular as how an individual perceives themselves in isolation from otheraspects of their personality. Often individuals project different parts of their identity asdependent on the environment and context. In doing so individuals are continuously doing andundoing their identities to suit their needs in the moment.In Science and Math Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines have turned to identitytheories as a way to identify talented individuals in efforts to fuel recruitment and retention. Tothis end, many have sought to define what it means to have a science 24; 27; 44 or

However, counter to this principle, one study foundlecturers in humanities conceptualized critical reading very differently from their students.41Therefore, this leads to an area for further study within both disciplines.A specific concept of identity that is important in engineering is that of engineering identity. Onestudy found that students defined engineering as improving or helping the world, using math,science, and/or technology, solving problems, and applying knowledge.32 The last three
