conceptualization of leadership within the engineering community and student designcourses specifically may be in need of updating to a shared leadership paradigm. In this modernage of increased technology and rapid industrial pace, the shared leadership paradigm’sdevelopment takes into account that it is nearly impossible for one person to have the knowledge,skills, and abilities for all aspects of highly intellectual work6 or necessary to make well-informedleadership decisions independently. This concept of knowledge distribution across multiplepeople is an accurate description of a situated learning environment. Similarly, Wageman andGardner 31 call for a re-examination of team leadership in light of the new landscape of moderncollaboration. In their

unexplored3,4,5. This paper addresses this literature gap and aims to broaden theconceptualization of engineering identity by studying the development of engineering identity ofLatina/o undergraduates from their perspective and experiences. The forecasted growth of Latinas/os in the United States has encouraged a range ofinstitutions to assess how this shift in population will affect various programs of study especiallythose in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) where Latinas/os arecurrently underrepresented. In engineering, the number of Latina/o students enrolling hasincreased since the 1990s and it is projected to continue to increase, though not at the same rateas the Latina/o population growth.

Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.

which learning, status, and grades are negotiated.Inspired by a novel theory from Science and Technology Studies (STS), we take an actor-network view of sophomore engineering, tracing connections between human actors and non-human elements including mathematical concepts, places, objects, and resources to demonstratehow students are translated to varying degrees through sophomore mathematics courses intoactor-networks of engineering. Actor-Network Theory encourages a fresh perspective ofsophomore engineering that affords researchers a systems-level view of these critical gatewaycourses and suggests fundamental questions regarding the nature of our courses and how they gotthis way in the first place. This paper introduces Actor-Network Theory
