. Design activity engagement within thesocial context of capstone courses can be influenced by a student's identity, but little research hasbeen done on understanding this influence.Our investigation in the overarching study is informed by the concepts of situated cognition [1]and engagement within engineering practice [2], both accounting holistically for the contextwithin which design activities are performed. Additionally, we account for frameworks definingpersonal engagement as a state in which “people employ and express themselves physically,cognitively, emotionally, and mentally during role performances” [3, p. 694] to better understandstudent engagement through a specific role within a capstone team.In this paper, we provide a better

While these courses may range in methodology or scope, thecommon goal is for students to apply a range of skills to develop a design project that spans theirengineering discipline. In civil engineering programs, these projects may come directly fromprofessional practice or include experiential components to develop a preliminary design [1].With other engineering disciplines, such as mechanical or electrical, there may be requirementsto develop prototypes to iterate on their designs.

This discordance betweenacademia’s focus toward teamwork education and industry’s focus toward team performance isan important gap for engineering educators and researchers to address as they both move forwardin their work.
