People’s thoughts and behaviors are shapedthrough relationships and reflected appraisals with others [4], [16], [21]. Identities are furtherderived through associations, affiliations, and identifications with groups [17], [22]. Tonso [23]observes that identity development is an enculturated process where identities are acquiredthrough "community-based interactions" and Beam et al. [20] concur that social contexts affectidentity. In engineering education, situated learning is central to identity development [23].Therefore, this social process of identity development can be realized through the culture of anengineering program.

students’ motivation to persist in and learn about an engineering subject.Many studies have shown engineering identity as a predictor of students' educational andprofessional persistence. Thus, this theoretical framework’s inclusion allows the SPVEL to relatestudent learning profiles, formal and informal learning to their development and formation intoengineers. For example, it was found that there are significant gender differences in how first-yearstudents identify with engineering and becoming an engineer, where fewer women were exposedto the engineering field through applied or building experiences (0% women to 26% men);interactions with relatives who were engineers (20% women to 26% men) and STEM activities(10% women to 26% men) [94].

Many transfer students have faced adversity that their 4-yearpeers have not experienced.
