constructed to analyze what predictorconstructs contribute to a stronger identity for either engineering or science and how theseidentities influence career path goals and choices. This study shows that recognition from othersis a significant predictor of individual identity and that personal interest is a significant predictorof how an individual views BME. Gender was not found to influence professional identity orperception of BME in this study.1. IntroductionWhile biomedical engineering (BME) continues to grow as a discipline and the number ofprograms increase, there continues to be difficulties with defining BME [1][2]. BMEincorporates aspects of several science disciplines including biology, chemistry, and physics, aswell as traditional

as a frameworkfor promoting professional development and community building for graduate students.Building on the themes of the book, this program sought to promote reflection amongparticipants about the choices and actions that women can take to position themselves forsuccess—and encouraged exploration of students’ personal vision of success. Results of pre-and post-tests, along with observational data gathered by the facilitators, indicated that studentswere concerned largely by two topics: concerns about how to balance their career ambition andtheir goals for a fulfilling personal life (whatever that may be), and how to have positive andbeneficial relationship with mentors or advisors. Students also shared their challenges andfrustration

significant predictor of job satisfaction and well-being (Mor Barak &Levin, 2002).One of the most significant issues facing Black engineers is a cultural mismatch between theirown identity and the White male-dominated workplace culture (Dotson, 2008; Gibbs, 2008;Ross, 2016; Ross & Godwin, 2016;Hofacker, 2014). To combat that mismatch, some Blackengineers turn to personal agency to maintain their personal identity in the workplace (Ross,2016; Ross & Godwin, 2016).While the various studies cited above provide some information to understand the experiences ofBlack engineers in the workplace, considerably more work is needed to fully understandworkplace culture and how it impacts the career pathways of Black engineers.

Engineering is a cornerstone ofmodern society, driving innovation, solving complex problems, and improving the quality of lifefor people around the globe. As a field of study covering a broad range of disciplines, includingmechanical, electrical, civil, and computer engineering, engineering offers diverse career pathsand opportunities. However, the decision to pursue a major in engineering is not one to be takenlightly, given its rigorous curriculum and the demands of the profession. As a result,understanding engineering as a major is paramount, not only for

The need for scientists is growing beyond the rate of scientists enteringthe career market, and the promotion of these underrepresented students may help fill this void[4]. The current research intends to predict the academic performance of early engineeringmajors based on student beliefs and feelings about their education in addition to academicpreparation during high school. Prior research has demonstrated a correlation between low-income individuals and specific psychological beliefs that are relevant to student success: lowerself-efficacy [5], fixed mindsets [6], and a lack of sense of belonging in academia [7] are allinstrumental in understanding the underrepresentation of low-income students in

However, the unidimensional scale was soon challenged by multifactor models. Clary andSnyder found that different volunteers have different motivations for volunteering, and that onevolunteer can have several motivations (Clary & Snyder 1999: 157). They developed theVolunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) to identify the extent to which 6 sources of motivation,known as “functions” (Values, Understanding, Career, Social, Enhancement, and Protective),have the greatest influence
