For instance, an expanded mentorship group is oftenencouraged for graduate students, but is often presented as a selection of faculty members withintheir degree program and institution [3].

, Engineering Professions, Quantitative Analysis, Cluster Analysis,Graduate Education, Career Paths1 IntroductionOne often neglected aspect of engineering education is career education. Along with theaccumulation of disciplinary knowledge and skills, students also develop an identity as anengineer [34]—a sense of “who I want to become” and “what I want to do”. Career choice isarguably one of the most important decisions students make as they navigate through theirengineering education. However, senior engineering students are often found unsure about orstruggling with career decisions [34]-[36]. Moreover, while engineering schools endeavor todiversify their educational offerings to meet students’ needs of pursuing various careertrajectories

During this period, we can betterunderstand how engineering students’ personal and social identities, which are their conceptionsof themselves as individuals and group members, engineering identities, which is theirconceptions of themselves as engineers, and ethical identities, which is their conception ofthemselves as people who identify with their professional ethics, develop. Reviewing these threeidentity types is valuable in identifying both their pre-established impacts on career choice andaspirations as well as the remaining gaps in literature that need to be filled such as the connectionbetween moral behavior and vocational choice [3] [4] [5
