and engineering identity, if it exists, could alloweducators and researchers to quantitatively measure engineering identity and gain further insightinto motivational patterns.Theoretical FrameworkThis work-in-progress focuses on uncovering patterns between engineering identity andacademic motivation. Both constructs involve student self-perception. This study closelyexamines how students perceive themselves as engineers, how they perceive success, and howthey respond to failure. Our work is grounded in several theories that report on these perceptions.IdentityIdentity is defined in this study as how a student perceives themselves to fit in a group [1]. Thisstudy focuses specifically on engineering identity, which can simply be defined as how

the content of essays andresearch papers in general writing courses [1]. Second, not only do the types of audiences varymore in engineering but so do the audiences’ levels of knowledge about the content. Yet a thirddifference is that the expected level of precision in engineering writing is higher than theexpected precision in general writing [2, 3]. Still a fourth difference is the complexity ofengineering formats, which have to account for incorporation of illustrations, equations, sections,and appendices. Until students learn the principles of engineering writing, a significant gap exists betweenwhat those students have experienced in general writing courses and what those students areexpected to produce in reports for design courses

Students reportedthat viewing their recorded presentation and reflecting on their performance helped them gainconfidence and improve their presentation skills for future use.Although effective communication skills are required for success in all engineering disciplines,many programs do not teach technical communication for a variety of reasons, including lack ofinstructor experience or buy-in regarding the value of teaching

It has been widely validated anddeployed in university engineering education settings. The MSLQ has two parts: Motivation and Learning Strategies. Motivation scales arecomposed of three dimensions (value, expectancy, and affective) with 31 items subdivided intosix subscales: intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal motivation, task value, control beliefs,self-efficacy for learning and performance, and test anxiety.
