University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching

’ Perceptions of Belonging through the Lens of Social IdentityAbstractResearch shows that students who feel that they belong in an engineering department are morelikely to develop a strong engineering identity and become situated in the engineeringcommunity. Perceptions of an unwelcoming academic culture are particularly detrimental forstudents from populations that are currently underrepresented. Additional research investigatingstudents’ perceptions of engineering culture, engineering identity, and their own sense ofbelonging is needed. This study explored undergraduate engineering students’ perceptions oftheir sense of belonging in their engineering program, particularly as these related to their socialidentities. It

Strayhorn [7] defines sense ofbelonging as “students’ perceived social support on campus, a feeling or sensation ofconnectedness, and the experience of mattering or feeling cared about, accepted, respected,valued by, and important to the campus community” (p. 5). The research-informed interventionsintegrated into the Building Pathways program model are designed to cultivate students’ sense ofbelonging.Beyond a sense of belonging in engineering education, belongingness in the engineeringprofession is often referred to as engineering identity.
