Minority students in search of PhD granting institutions usually wish for faculty rolemodels in the classroom who can inspire them for graduate studies and ultimately becomefaculty members. In their recent study on these issues, Nelson and Rogers 13 concluded that the“presence of science and engineering minority faculty is a crucial factor in encouraging andensuring the continued interest of young minorities in science and engineering.” It was noted thattheir presence is equally

Engineering IdentityAbstractThis paper is a work in progress (WIP) for an NSF project that explores first-generation students(FGS) in engineering technology (ET); specifically, their academic performance, engineeringidentity development, and use of social capital all compared to continuing generation students(CGS) peers. Despite the growing number of engineering technology degrees awarded annually,there is a scarcity of research focusing on the acquisition of engineering identity, particularlyamong FG students. Overall, this project will utilize a two phase, mixed methods approach. Inthe first phase, we will quantitatively assess academic performance comparisons between firstgeneration and continuing generation engineering students and utilize the

While Q methodology has had limited use in engineering education research,it has been used in studies regarding the career paths of engineering education doctoral graduates[7], competencies for nanotechnology [8] and IT [9], curriculum design for information systems[10], construction engineering technology program assessment [11], and undergraduateengineering students’ out-of-class activities [12].

The program is focused on graduateengineering students but is open to graduate students from all programs. Students also choose mentorsfrom within and outside the university with the goal of increasing their sense of belonging to the field andtheir identities as research engineers. As part of this program, a pilot study is in progress, aimed atperforming a full-scale network analysis of student interactions.

Researchers have suggested that culture is especiallyimportant for women to persist in a field [23], [30]. A culture of “Engineering with Engineers”could result in graduates who not only are prepared technically and professionally with apractical, realistic understanding of what it is to be an engineer, but who also identify with andare committed to the engineering profession. Hence, results of the study are hoped to lead to aclearer understanding of the changes that promote engineering identities, particularly in women,and how such identities affect students’ sense of belonging in a program and their persistence inthe major.It

attritionrate among STEM doctoral students is as high as 50% [2], and retention of students fromtraditionally marginalized groups continues to be of special concern [3]. These studies alsoindicate that strong engineering identities and clear future goals are critical to student success[4]–[6], but often fail to include graduate students as a population distinct from undergraduatestudents [7]–[9]. To begin remedying this gap, the GRADS project was proposed, a qualitativeand quantitative investigation of engineering doctoral students’ (EDS) experiences, identities,and motivation [10].As the first step in this process, three qualitative studies were conducted with an EDS sample[11]–[13].

engineering, undergraduate engineering, industrypartnerships1 IntroductionRetention and graduation of students are key goals of undergraduate engineering education.Design education and hands-on experiences play a critical role in supporting engineeringretention because they encourage sense of community through team-based learning, exposestudents to real-world applications of engineering, and support creativity and sense of “fun” [1],[2]. More specifically, first-year engineering design courses can provide positive foundationsthat support building a student’s engineering identity and sense of belonging in STEM. Whenstudents are provided hands-on learning opportunities that support their development of technicalskills, their confidence builds [3
