The students were paid for 10 hours of research per week throughout the academicyear. Due to budget constraint, the program is only able to fund 16 students in an academic yearafter a competitive selection process, of which 12 of these students consented to participate inthis study.

Meanwhile, graduateengineering students, particularly doctoral engineering students, often differ significantly fromundergraduate engineering students in terms of life and work experience, interests, outsideresponsibilities, and other variables that could impact identity formation. Thus, there is a needfor additional exploration of identity development in graduate students, particularly
