[1] The formation of a professional identity is described asan ongoing process that encompasses both person and context, where an individual has agencyto self-determine sub-identities that compose their overall professional identity. [2] At BeAM,the professional identity of a PA or a PS is often defined by how they perceive their ability toembody professional roles and their interactions with other makerspace staff. For example, PAsmust be able to safely operate makerspace equipment, teach makerspace users, perform routinemaintenance, and provide support to other makerspace staff. As staff become more confident inthese roles, they

The library’scommunity-focused environment also provided an inviting space where students couldcollaborate, share ideas, and engage in creative problem-solving. During each session, studentswere introduced to foundational engineering concepts through tasks that combined creativity,technical skills, and critical thinking.

However, they were allowedto collaborate with one another about concepts and approaches to the lab. During in-classobservations, it was apparent throughout the lab session duration that students werecommunicating frequently with each other and with the TA. We found that this was also trueduring the out-of-lab labs (Table 1). Just under half of the students completing each out-of-lablab worked with another student outside of class to complete the assignment. Of those, oneperson collaborated on less than 25% of the lab while the other four students did more

Al-though pre-college programs can introduce new technical topics, the key benefits for students whoparticipate in such programs include building confidence [19], acquiring general know-how, gain-ing clearer perceptions of college [11], and understanding the educational landscape [8]. A relatedarea of research is college readiness [17]. In recent years, there has been an increase in high schoolstudents advancing their technical knowledge in computer programming, calculus, and other sub-jects to prepare for engineering majors [20]. However, these opportunities are not easily accessibleto all [13, 14] and the percentage of students who enroll in remedial coursework in college remainshigh [5]. Therefore, we aim to

Even if individual team members have diverse technical backgrounds andexpertise, the effectiveness of their work together depends on more than engineering ‘chops’. Inorder to negotiate, plan, motivate, and integrate tasks at the team and even department level,engineers must practice and become skilled at interpersonal tasks like “communication,collaboration, networking, feedback provision and reception, teamwork, lifelong learning, andcultural understanding”1.
