StudyAbstractResearchers have theorized that having a strongly developed identity as an engineering studentcontributes to persistence within engineering. Even so, there are no empirically supportedmeasures of engineering student identity. The purpose of this study was to provide structuralvalidity evidence for one such measure, the Engineering Student Identity Scale (E-SIS). Thispaper explores findings and implications of multiple investigations into the structure of the E-SIS. The data collected in this study do not support the current interpretations of the E-SIS as aunified measure of identify with 11 subscales derived from multiple approaches to measuringidentity. The results do provide important information regarding revising the E-SIS to align morewith
