It builds on previous work in our group in whichan activity systems lens has been used to understand student participation in clubs [18], rote versusconceptual learning [19], and an instructional reform initiative [20]. In the present study, weinterview eight members of the faculty and student activity systems encompassing twoconcurrently-required core courses within an engineering department at a research university andcharacterize participants’ understanding of these systems.

: “Becoming” an Engineer“Becoming” is described as a collective identity that is developed through the iterativenegotiation of a group’s objective identity for subjective application to one’s personal identity [20,21, 32] . In other words, as individuals begin to experience and become socialized into a group, theybegin to recognize their own identities through that group’s socially-defined terms. This sameconcept may be applied to the education of undergraduate civil engineering students. As thesestudents enter into college as “ordinary [members] of society” [4] they typically have unclearexpectations of professional engineering work [33]. Therefore, as students learn about the values,knowledge, and skills inherent within undergraduate civil
