interactions?IntroductionAs engineering students progress through their undergraduate education, they experience manychallenges and hardships in their academic, personal, and social pursuits. Through theseexperiences, students develop an engineering identity. Research has been conducted tounderstand the development of the engineering identity in undergraduate students, with particularattention directed to factors that foster and hinder that development. For example, extending amodel of identity developed on physics students, Godwin (2016) conceptualized engineeringidentity that derives heavily from competence and performance. While performance may be thecritical and primary factor in the development of an engineering identity for students whosefocus

available. • Our GAANN program has had a distinct feature; namely, it has provided funding of $1,500 to each GAANN fellow for the acquisition of a computer to be used in the fellow’s PhD research. This has been an excellent motivating factor for our domestic doctoral students to want to become GAANN fellows and to receive their PhD degrees in a timely manner. • Our upper administrators have reduced the funding to the graduate teaching assistants, and hence our institution covers only 85% of the tuition of a graduate teaching assistant. However, with the federal GAANN funds we have been able to cover 100% of the tuition for each GAANN fellow. The GAANN funds have also provided other educational

) Informed Design;2) Teamwork; and 3) Communication. 1. Informed Design is a process that enables you to enhance your own relatedknowledge and skill base before attempting to suggest solutions. This way, you reach designsolutions informed by prior knowledge and research as opposed to trial and error problemsolving. Informed design emphasizes design challenges that rely on the creative use of technicalknowledge along with repeated testing to improve design performance. The Informed Design process connects this knowledge and skill base, plus practicalexperience and prior learning, to an eight-step design cycle. Students can re-enter the designcycle at any step to revise the solution when necessary. The end product solution of the
