Ourinductive analysis generated three types of fit: personal fit, career values fit and intellectual fit,which we operationalize below.Cech et al.8 have operationalized a set of concepts that are similar to our concept of self-assessment of fit. Their analysis builds the concept of professional role confidence, which iscomposed of career fit confidence and expertise confidence. These measures are developed fromlongitudinal survey data measuring students’ confidence, based on their engineering coursework,in a number

Thus, in recent years, the framework of engineering identity and the factors thatencompass it, based on previous research on physics and math identities, has been used as a lensto study engineering students.Engineering identity is both a subset of and affected by the larger student identity, which alsoincludes personal and social identities.1 Identity can be defined as how students

We contendthat our mutual findings are of great significance to the engineering education community.The author of one study (Renata) utilized a mixed methods approach to explore how SHPEmembership influenced the engineering identity development of Latina/o students. Previousstudies show that students who build engineering identities in their college career are more likelyto persist within their engineering programs, thus illustrating the importance of engineeringidentity development to persistence.

For example, three ways in which the institution can foster identity formation asan engineer are: (1) program admission criteria, coursework, etc. (institutional identity), (2) co-ops and internships (self-identification through exposure to the norms and values held byprofessional engineers), and (3) communities of practice (recognition by other in-group membersas a professional in the field)12,13. Co-ops and internships contribute to students’ desire tobecome an engineer14, retention and work self-efficacy15, and higher starting salaries and thepotential for a job offer by graduation16.

While they still believed that good writingwas important to an engineering professional, the lack of continuity in the curriculum madewriting seem far less important to an engineering student.Compounding this devaluation, students often received negative social messages from otherstudents and even faculty about the value of communication coursework. Some students hadbeen told by peers to expect their writing class to be tedious, and mostly just a meaninglessrequirement. One student reported that in a subsequent class with a communication component,the instructor explicitly messaged that the students were there to get an easy grade on thatcomponent and pass through to more important work.The

Yet, understanding these low level concepts is seen as valuable especially as itprovides students with an introduction to the concepts of tradeoffs and operational limits that aresuch an essential element of engineering design. An overarching goal of an engineeringeducation is to allow students to develop an appreciation that large scale systems are assembledfrom smaller building blocks and that a truly professional designer must have some sense ofboth
