Engineering IdentityAbstractThis paper is a work in progress (WIP) for an NSF project that explores first-generation students(FGS) in engineering technology (ET); specifically, their academic performance, engineeringidentity development, and use of social capital all compared to continuing generation students(CGS) peers. Despite the growing number of engineering technology degrees awarded annually,there is a scarcity of research focusing on the acquisition of engineering identity, particularlyamong FG students. Overall, this project will utilize a two phase, mixed methods approach. Inthe first phase, we will quantitatively assess academic performance comparisons between firstgeneration and continuing generation engineering students and utilize the

How do first-generation engineering technology students understand and leverage forms of capital to persist in their program as compared to their continuing-generation peers? a. How do first-generation engineering technology students describe their uses of social capital within their engineering education?In this WIP paper, we present the findings of some of the quantitative data collected at thecurrent status of the grant. We have pilot data from 136 participants that explore researchquestions 1 and 2. We have obtained survey results that look at how FG and CGS explore

of students’ familiarity with the topic. However, in themandatory DEI courses, the students learn about generic principles not necessarily theirconnection to engineering projects. While exact national benchmarks for familiarity with equitytopics in civil engineering are not well-documented, surveys in related areas often show lowerlevels of awareness. For example, a study by LaFave et al. (2015) [7] found that engineeringstudents nationwide reported limited exposure to social and ethical aspects of their field.However, it also highlights an opportunity to further engage the remaining 23% of students,ensuring that all graduates leave with a foundational understanding of equity in engineeringpractices.While responding to the likelihood of
