Thisperceived connection to their longer-term career goals may also enable students to see the valueof their current academic tasks [18] - [21]. Thus, it enables students to develop their identityduring engineering experiences such as coursework, internships and extracurricular activities.The engineering identity framework has been applied to specific courses, first year experiencesand advancement through the degree program.
