unearths three fundamental elements: a domainof knowledge about particular topics; a community of people concerned about and pursuingadvancement in this domain; and the shared practice undergoing development to be effective inits domain [11]. Streveler et al. [1] argued for the legitimacy of engineering education as acommunity of practice featured in its rapid expansion in terms of the domain of knowledge onhow people learn engineering and the best practices in educational research; groups of memberswho might be the core community, active participants, and those not yet part of the community;and joining professional organizations to initiate collaboration with partners to facilitate sharedpractice, such as Rigorous Research in Engineering

Finally, motivation climate has been found to predict employee outcomesincluding job engagement, burnout, turnover intention, work performance, incivility, innovation,and knowledge hiding [46][47][48]. In the engineering education literature, we found indications of motivation climates inmore than half of the collected papers. Some examples include collaborating closely with othergraduate students, being part of a group of graduate students who provide each other withsupport and encouragement [62], bouncing ideas off each other and discussing problems [63],demonstrating academic competency through comparison with peers [75], academicgatekeeping and relationship with faculty [81], peers trying to exert
