Much of the current research on engineering identity takes engineering as a monolithicdiscipline. In other words, it is taken as a given that different engineering disciplines function inthe same way with respect to engineering identity development. However, previous research hasshown that the culture of engineering disciplines do, in fact, differ from each other—forexample, some disciplines, such as biomedical engineering, civil engineering, and chemicalengineering, are more inclusive of gender diversity than

In another study, the author examined a seniorengineering project that utilized the design process and discovered a positive trend of increasedself-efficacy over time [11]. The resulting conclusions noted that there is a time-dependency, thuspossibly an experience-dependence for these advances. This is potentially indicative of self-efficacy gains specifically from successful experiences. The study also denotes self-efficacy andteamwork skills as critical elements of a successful engineering career [11].
