Developing Engineering Identity through StoryAbstractThe narratives we tell ourselves influence our behaviors and actions. However, engineeringstudents may not even know what those narratives are and how those stories affect them. Inmany cases, students are subjected to a rigorous technical curriculum as soon as they step foot oncampus and sometimes find themselves in fields that are predominantly white and male to whichthey may not feel they fully belong. For some students, these environments may make themquestion if they belong in engineering, on our campus, or in higher education at all.Story is a tool that can allow students to make connections between their past, current, andpotential future selves to develop their identities as engineers.

Thecomplexity has increased even more due to a growing interdependence among disciplines andthe emergence of a wide range of new technologies.To manage this situation, engineers whocan keep pace with new technologies and think laterally when developing new applications,and engineers who are creative and capable of abstract thinking are required. It has beenobserved that recent engineering graduates are lacking in these competencies; and thetraditional and still dominant engineering curriculum at most universities, especially indeveloping countries, makes little provision for developing them 1-3
