Specific latent constructs ofgoal orientation, agency (students’ beliefs that their career in science or engineering can lead topositive effects on the world), future time perspective (FTP), and personality type were selectedfor secondary data analysis based on existing theory about relationships between motivation,goal setting

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.

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

The curriculum therefore offers ample Page 13.1119.2room to customize study to students’ interests and career goals.
