Second, identity provides a framework for dealingwith dynamic staged processes, such as are encountered during the transformative experiencesthat typically characterize the undergraduate journey. Third, identity provides insight intomotivation, making it a useful construct for understanding retention. The cumulative effect ofthese characteristics suggest that identity is an effective framework for understanding studenteducation. In fact, the case has been made that engineering education is— by definition—engineering identity formation [15

Our study aims to fill this gap by tracing the career long leadershiplearning journeys of 28 Canadian engineers with at least twenty-five years of work experience.Theoretical perspective: Situated leadership learningThe notion of situated learning is central to our investigation of senior engineers’ leadershiplearning experiences [52]. In contrast to the didactic learning opportunities students encounter inschool, which follow a pre-existing curriculum and are tightly mediated by an instructor, situatedlearning opportunities are shaped by everyday practices and left largely to novices forinterpretation. Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory [52] highlights the type of learningthat occurs in
