Of 62 initial items (42 drawn from the original scale and 20 newly written items),39 items remained after factor analysis while 23 items were discarded through rigorousassessment. Newly written items that referenced engineering-oriented global citizenship valuesand used similar language to the original scale were added in order to validate this scale’sappropriateness for use among engineering undergraduate students and add value for applicationto engineering education. Adding to previous research that used these survey items to study amore narrow population of students, this study provides measures of perspective

RQ2: What are students’ initial perceptions of belonging and self-directed learning after participating in the Icarus program? In order to answer the research questions, we took a quantitative approach.
