] without considering theimpact that other identities may have on the engineering experience, although some findings doindicate that gender and race are factors in attrition and persistence [23]–[31]. Outside of engineering, researchers have investigated the impacts of gender identity [32]–[36], racial identity [37]–[40], and even religious identity [41] on students' experiences inuniversity and future career goals. These studies recognize the multiple identities that studentsmust navigate the world with. Their experiences are complicated even further when they havemultiple marginalized identities (e.g., female, people of color, and LGBTQ in a predominatelyWhite, hetero, male setting) [5], [42]–[45]. The school environment, in this case

identity over time, especially “for those early intheir academic career,” that are referred to as intellectual, institutional, and network strands ofidentity [14]. The intellectual strand of identity describes growing knowledge of engineering,which often includes hands-on skills. The institutional strand of identity describes recognition asan engineer by external entities, like academic departments or professional societies. Thenetwork strand of identity describes the development of a network of collaborators and mentors.Identity trajectory suggests that long-term group projects (section 2.1) are particularly salient toidentity development because they weave together all three strands of identity: long-termprojects are an opportunity for

In addition to surveys of team leaders, qualitative insights weregathered through anecdotal and non-directed conversations with senior management, as well asin-the-wild observations of the behaviors of trained and untrained employees.All survey results described here were gathered using a five-point Likert-style scale where 1 isStrongly Disagree, 3 is Neutral, and 5 is Strongly Agree. As summarized in Table 3, team leaderssurveyed before the training generally chose Agree/Strongly Agree when asked about the valueof the training for their own careers and for the well-being of the company.

has been integrated intovarious classrooms starting from grammar school and ranging up to college level courses, [4]-[6]. Integration of EM early on was focused on the idea that young students need to haveexposure to EM to improve their career readiness [5].The push for EM to be a focus in undergraduate engineering courses and programs started after acall from the National Academy of Engineering in 2005 [7]. Although engineering studentsdevelop many skills during their time as undergraduates, it has been determined that engineerswith entrepreneurial skills are vital to a developing society [8], [9]. For this reason, the technicalskills, although important to possess, should also be accompanied by development of how tothink outside the box and

cloud computing, the most common theme in responses was preparingfor the future. Students noted, “Cloud is the next big thing within the Tech field, and I want to beahead of the game,” and “it is a relatively new field, and has much room for expansion. I wouldlove to be part of its expansion.” Several students’ responses were related to the theme of the jobopportunities that would be available to them once they earned a certificate. One studentreported, “I needed something to boost my potential in a tight market,” and another noted “I wantto advance in the IT field as much as possible, IT is an ever-expanding career field, and I won’tbe left behind.” Figure 5.

Role of laboratory-based teaching assistantships on the career development of chemical engineeringgraduate studentsTeaching assistantships (TA’s) are an integral aspect of graduate research in chemical engineering.Through TA’s, graduate students can offset the cost of education through subsidized tuition, fees, andstipends. TA’s also provide career training and development as graduate students enter academia or pursuean industry career.TA’s can be of two forms: classroom course teaching opportunities and laboratory course teachingopportunities. Laboratory teaching opportunities are pertinent for graduate students since these availstudents with engineering scenarios and troubleshooting tips. Laboratory assistantships also

In practice, engineers need to perform analyses that combine manyfactors at both the strategic and operational levels of organizations, that incorporate elements ofproduct and/or process design, and that consider various forms of risk and uncertainty. Analysesin industry will also likely involve after-tax cash-flows and debt capital more often than they willinvolve basic techniques such as simple payback or comparisons of equal cash flows.
