The importance of thisrelationship is reflected in Brickhouse, Lowery, and Schultz’s request for increased research onSTEM identity and persistence [11]. Godwin, Potvin, Hazari, and Lock echoed this concern bypointing out that student beliefs preceding engineering identity formation point to their reasonsfor choosing engineering as well as choosing to leave engineering due to conflicts andalignments between their sense of self and the field of engineering [12].

accurate way to get those numbers. Othergroups held the specific heats constant and regarded the resulting error negligible. A third, smallerselection of groups chose to look up the equation for determining specific heats based upontemperature and include that in the model. So while the generalizability might be lacking forsome, it helped students to have to decide between accuracy and ease of use. Deciding betweeneither a simple model or an accurate model is something engineers struggle with everyday.Since the numbers in Table 3 are low, it is clear that making the model generalizable was a lowpriority for most groups. The important thing is that the groups recognized the issue and placedinput areas for new data while recalculating work so the
