introducing new perspectives tohelp spark innovation in how we address important societal issues. In addition to attracting andretaining more students from underrepresented groups, it is important that all students receive thenecessary preparation to work with diverse peers in an effective and inclusive manner. In thisIUSE (Improving Undergraduate STEM Education) project, we are developing, implementing,and assessing curriculum changes that are intended to cultivate inclusive professional identitiesin engineering and computer science students. The key tenants of inclusive profession identitiesas defined by this project are: (a) fluency with the necessary technical knowledge, skills, andabilities for students to work in their chosen field, (b) an

people have their most innovative output (not creativeanymore) when they are older – in fact when they are more than 40 years old. These specificfindings suggest there are (generationally- and rank-based) workplace realities aroundinnovation that new engineering hires must confront. The current study deepens theinvestigation into innovation by examining it in the context of meaningful work forindividuals just beginning their careers.Our three specific research questions for this study are: A. What does meaningful work look like in the eyes of early career engineers? B. What does meaningful innovative work look like in the eyes of early career engineers? C. How do the personal experiences of innovative work and engineering work compare?To
