identity constructs (e.g., being similar to others). Past literature has shown thatbelongingness and identity may be related, and created by each other, while findings in this studyshow that identity and belongingness are interrelated and give the research community furtherinsight for upper level FG engineering students.IntroductionThis research paper showcases first generation (FG) upper level undergraduate engineeringstudents’ engineering experiences and how their experiences affect feelings of engineeringbelongingness. The rigor of engineering is often what unites engineers from around the world1–3,but the background of these individuals allows for diverse thinking and idea generation. Throughdiverse thinking, the engineering workforce can

computationalthinking skills needed to excel in the digital economy. One program that was created as part ofthe President’s initiative was the Research-Practitioner Partnership (RPP) grants issued by theNational Science Foundation. The program has four objectives: 1) develop a connectedcommunity of practice; 2) develop and manage a participant-driven and multi-site researchagenda; 3) convene a researcher evaluator working group to develop a process for advancing theshared-research agenda; and 4) collect qualitative and quantitative data about RPP’simplementation and common impact data. However, there has been no detailed reports or studiesof these funded RPP projects thus making their impacts difficult to observe. Thus, this researchentailed a systematic

Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. She is the recipient of a 2014 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Educational Research and Methods Division Apprentice Faculty Grant.

Domain expertise was largely downplayed, while moreintangible qualities such as curiosity and perseverance were amplified. Participants describedtheir groups as sites of application and significantly, sites of learning the culture of practice thatis expected. Implications of these findings are discussed, including theoretical and practical, andpotential insights for engineering educators are surfaced.3 Introduction There is a great need to understand how novice engineers collaborate in interdisciplinarysettings to accomplish STEM work. Teamwork, leadership, and other “social” elements ofengineering are
