Leadershipprinciples, education, and training are reviewed from guiding doctrinal principles through aninstitution-level leader development system, and into specific coursework that focuses on leaderdevelopment.

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.

Items were drawnfrom constructs associated with assessment of research training programs that overlappedwith constructs of engineering identity. Responses suggest that students build their definitionsof engineering based primarily on didactic training and do not necessarily view high-impactextracurricular research experiences as part of what it means to be an engineer.

Throughmakerspace activities and the perception of feeling included and developing a sense ofbelonging, students can determine if they are perceived as being part of the engineeringcommunity [12] and therefore, are or can be perceived as being professional engineers. Wemaintain that students who do not feel they belong or included in makerspaces may also feel theyare not perceived to be future engineers, influencing their identity as being members of theprofession and the community of engineers. Thus, gender, ethnicity, and culture may beassociated with feeling of belonging in makerspaces, and an indicator of students’ feeling ofbelonging in engineering and developing and engineering identity.
