, engineering graduate degrees are increasingly valued by various industriesfor skills like conducting research and integrating the newest engineering technologies (Brown &Linden, 2008). However, researchers have reported that the completion rate for U.S. engineeringgraduate degrees has held steady at just 50% for the past several decades despite consistentefforts to increase enrollment and retention of engineering graduate students (Bowen &Rudenstine, 1992; Nerad & Cerny, 1993). Identity has emerged as a relatively new lens forstudying graduate student retention.Researchers have reported that the strength of graduate students’ identities increased with theircompetency levels as well as their professional and academic motivation (Alexander
