Demographic markers (e.g., gender identity) moderate the effect of salient identities on perceived task difficulty.Theoretical Framework: Identity-Based MotivationIdentity-based motivation (IBM) is a theory “that explains when and in which situations people’sidentities motivate them to take action towards their own goals” [10]. Particularly, IBM explainshow the identities that come to individuals’ minds influence how individuals perceive taskdifficulty in different contexts to pursue goals [10]–[12]. For example, Oyserman and colleaguesused IBM theory to examine how students’ demographic identities (e.g., race/ethnicity,socioeconomic status, gender) matter

education is critical to thisprocess of improvement. Engineering, like other disciplines, has unique ways of thinking andknowing (habits of mind) and particular practices of teaching and learning3. These uniquepractices, called ‘signature pedagogies’, organize how future engineers are educated in theprofession.4 Lucas, Hanson and Claxton5 propose that the predominant pedagogy of engineeringdoes not align with true engineering habits of mind (EHoM). This work in progress aims todefine the surface characteristics of engineering education pedagogy by analyzing topicspresented at recent ASEE international conferences. The results of this study will inform a largerstudy which looks at potential disconnects between the way we teach engineering

with measuring how cultural programs andexperiences contribute to positive changes in students’ abilities to work and thrive in diverseenvironments. Global competency can be defined broadly as “having an open mind whileactively seeking to understand cultural norms and expectations of others, leveraging this gainedknowledge to interact, communicate and work effectively outside one’s environment”1.Measuring global competency levels before and after participation in cultural programs maytherefore be a potentially effective method for measuring changes in students’ ability to work ina global environment. Currently, studies on engineering students’ baseline global competencylevels are few at the undergraduate level. This research fills this gap

These identities mustbalance individual affiliation with three aspects of a field: doing (hands on practices), being(habits of mind), and becoming (professional aspirations) [19]. Individuals construct theseidentities over time via interaction with material and social contexts [20, 21]. As individuals gainexperience over time, particularly in real-world vs. classroom settings, these aspects maydevelop at different rates. Thus, to understand the professional formation of

Persistence in E/CS can be defined as a students’ choice to stay in anengineering major or complete an engineering degree [15]. Enough motivation and self-efficacyare needed to overcome several adversities faced during their engineering programs [16]. To thiseffect, researchers have spent a considerable about of resources to know the completion rates ofengineering majors and the cause of attrition from engineering /computer science degrees [17, 18].There are several factors that affects a student’s persistence in their respective degrees includingstudent identity [19], interest, recognition, and

Either approach should lead to engineering graduates who arestronger adaptive experts.ConclusionThe importance of critical and reflective thinking in the field of engineering cannot be argued.The goal of developing adaptive experts who excel at thinking critically and reflectively is anadmirable and important goal in engineering education. Engineers with training in critical andreflective thinking should be more capable in the increasingly complex, global landscape andwill be more mindful of their impacts on society. While it appears that some individuals are moreprone to be critical and reflective thinkers than others
