. This paper drawsupon a subject-related role identity framework that focuses on students self-beliefs of theirinterest, performance/competence, and recognition within engineering. First, a pilot survey of371 first-year engineering students was conducted at three institutions in the U.S. during thespring semester of 2015. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to examine theunderlying structure of the piloted questions about students’ engineering identity. The developeditems were used in a subsequent study deployed in the fall semester of 2015 that measured morethan 2500 first-year engineering students’ attitudes and beliefs at four institutions in the U.S. Thedata on engineering identity measures from this second survey were

sociocultural dimensions of engineering education.Andrew Elby, University of Maryland, College Park Andrew Elby’s work focuses on student and teacher epistemologies and how they couple to other cognitive machinery and help to drive behavior in learning environments. His academic training was in Physics and Philosophy before he turned to science (particularly physics) education research. More recently, he has started exploring engineering students’ entangled identities and epistemologies.Dr. Ayush Gupta, University of Maryland, College Park Ayush Gupta is Assistant Research Professor in Physics and Keystone Instructor in the A. J. Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. Broadly speaking he is interested in
