Students’ affective attributes are complex in nature; thus,research methods and analyses should holistically examine how these attributes interact, notsimply as a set of distinct constructs. Prior research into engineering students’ affectiveattributes, in which we used a validated survey to assess student motivation, identity, goalorientation, sense of belonging, career outcome expectations, grit and personality traits,demonstrated a positive correlation between perceptions of belongingness in engineering andtime spent in the program. Other prior research has examined interactions between affectiveattributes, for example engineering identity as a predictor of grit (consistency of
