This work contributesto the limited number of studies on engineering doctoral students’ identity, and may haveimplications for persistence and representation amongst engineering doctoral students.Introduction Doctoral students develop multiple role identities as they enter the community of practiceof academia through their graduate school experience [2]. Identity is the “kind of person” one is,derived from one’s performance in social contexts, rather than from one’s internal state [6]. Arole identity, specifically, is how an individual relates to the characteristics and expectationsassociated with a role or position they are enacting [7]–[9]. For example, how an

Austin [41] discusses how an ideal graduate schoolexperience prepares students who wish to pursue academic careers by socializing students intothe role of faculty. She highlights how research and teaching assistantships, coupled withadequate reflection opportunities, can help students become aware of the skills they aredeveloping which will be valuable as a faculty member.

In an effort to introduce diversity in design andto troubleshoot the concept of the universal user, we adapted the display compatibilityquestionnaire from Smith’s study of display-control stereotype designs, and presented the samedesign questions to 21st century first-year engineering students, non-engineering students, andnon-engineering professionals.
