, engineering students make use of internship opportunities totry on several different occupational settings, and by reflecting on and juxtaposing theirexperiences in these settings they discern what kind of job they want after graduation. Ourinductive analysis generated three types of fit: personal fit, career values fit and intellectual fit,which we operationalize below.Cech et al.8 have operationalized a set of concepts that are similar to our concept of self-assessment of fit. Their analysis builds the concept of professional role confidence, which iscomposed of career fit confidence and expertise confidence. These measures are developed fromlongitudinal survey data measuring students’ confidence, based on their engineering coursework,in a number

Thus, in recent years, the framework of engineering identity and the factors thatencompass it, based on previous research on physics and math identities, has been used as a lensto study engineering students.Engineering identity is both a subset of and affected by the larger student identity, which alsoincludes personal and social identities.1 Identity can be defined as how students

For example, three ways in which the institution can foster identity formation asan engineer are: (1) program admission criteria, coursework, etc. (institutional identity), (2) co-ops and internships (self-identification through exposure to the norms and values held byprofessional engineers), and (3) communities of practice (recognition by other in-group membersas a professional in the field)12,13. Co-ops and internships contribute to students’ desire tobecome an engineer14, retention and work self-efficacy15, and higher starting salaries and thepotential for a job offer by graduation16.

recently, Cechidentified a pervasive “culture of disengagement” in her pioneering study of four engineeringdegree programs, with student concerns and commitments related to public welfare decliningconsiderably during their years of undergraduate education.13Another strand of the literature has reported on efforts to measure how educational interventionsfocused on social and ethical responsibility specifically impact students. As Colby and Sullivannote, formal coursework/curricula and community-based learning are among the leadingstrategies used to teach engineering ethics and related topics.16 Regarding the former, a study byLoui reported modest increases in DIT-2 scores after engineering students were exposed to avideo-based case study of on an
