Paper ID #14814The Development of a Measure of Engineering IdentityDr. Allison Godwin, Purdue University, West Lafayette Allison Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. She is the recipient of

theirfamily7 and FGS take fewer risks in college8, are more afraid of failure9, and are more likely tochoose majors with high earning potential8. When examining FGS in the context of engineering,work has shown FGS often choose against majoring in engineering because of not havingengineering prerequisites10. FGS that choose to major in engineering show more career interestthan the CGS11. FGS students in engineering also have statistically different social capitalcharacteristics and accessed resources compared to CGS showing that FGS students aresuccessful, but use different resources to gain entry and persist in engineering12. We seek tocontinue advancement in the understanding of the experiences of FG engineering students,through examination of

created only via the concerted effort of many actors in a culture which imbuesmeaning on the problem; any problems which are able to be discussed must have been noticed,measured, compared to a norm, reported, discussed, and accorded a shared meaning andimportance. Applying McDermott’s framework, we can see new dimensions to many commonapproaches in studying the problem of struggling students in STEM. In quintessential retentionresearch, the powers that be define the terms of success and failure (e.g., persisting in a certainmajor, institution, or career, achieving a certain GPA, stating a sense of disciplinary identity andefficacy), and find the aspects of students which contribute most to success or failure (e.g.,gender, race
