are they and why do they return?I. IntroductionFuture economic development and security in our knowledge-driven global community relies onengineers in industry, academia, and government who have the technical skill, knowledge,vision, and expertise to identify and solve real-world problems and connect scientific knowledgeand theory to technological advances1. These qualities are learned and developed througheducation and real-world professional experiences and consist of a strong theoretical backgroundas well as rigorous research and problem solving skills. Engineering students who have spenttime working as engineering practitioners prior to pursuing a PhD, a group we refer to asreturners, can bring this combination of experiences and

A key component of successful career work in engineering is the ability to work as a partof a collaborative group or team.

, engineering is more oftenassociated with math and science and “things” rather than people19. Engineers are also associatedwith poor social skills and jobs that are nearly entirely technical15. These associations can makeit hard for some students to see themselves as engineers. For example, Du5 notes that theprofessional identity of an engineer is associated with technology and mechanical ability, thusaligning engineering with the male gender. This alignment is reinforced by the long history ofprimarily male engineers. This restrictive definition of what an engineer is can make it harder formany students (especially women and students of color) who are interested in engineering toidentify with engineering.Identity development depends on two factors
