issues.[8] As increasing technology allows engineers to learn more about existing andemerging problems, it also provides opportunities to develop solutions like never before.[9]Consequently, engineers must be successful in idea generation[8, 10] by fully exploring solutionspaces through the generation of multiple and diverse ideas[11]. Considering a wide spectrum ofideas at the front end of the design process is important in order to consider strong aspects ofconcepts to develop while filtering out other aspects. Generating diverse ideas to consider requiresdivergent thinking,[4, 12] while engineering methods focus on converging on a single solution.While experienced designers appear to use strategies in their idea generation process[13, 14

This isespecially true in engineering, which requires students to have an arsenal of advancedmathematical and analytical skills and a broad background in science and technology [1].Unfortunately, many of the students who enroll in engineering programs may find themselvessignificantly unprepared for the academic rigors and personal challenges of collegiate life. Inresponse, educators have sought to identify key factors that aid not only in the retention ofstudents, but also maximize the resources necessary to guide those students to successful degreecompletion.One area of investigation has focused on the characteristics of the student

However, the process of professional formation in engineering tends to leadto engineers who dislike leadership, with a perception that engineers solve problems for others,not identify problems to solve themselves. This paper presents an identity-based model forincorporating leadership into engineering
