survey research discussed in this article addresses agap in the literature by developing a quantitative approach to graduate student identitydevelopment in engineering, education, and engineering education. We explore graduatestudents’ perceptions of their multiple roles today and in the future, focusing on a) the actualroles they currently hold, b) the roles they desire to hold now and in the future, and c) the rolesthey believe they are expected to hold now and in the future.TerminologyThroughout this research key terms were used with distinct definitions in mind. First, the termidentity is used in terms of who a person is in the professional sense. For example, for graduatestudents and professoriate, identity often includes the roles of

This second survey repeated several of the questions from the pre-experience survey, which allowed us to compare students’ expectations with their experiences,and look for changes in students’ self-assessments of research skills over the 10-week program.Students were also asked about their interactions with their research mentors and the personaland professional outcomes of their summer experience.

This journal consisted of entries similar to a diary in which students would reflect uponthe broader impacts topic being discussed and record their level of personal interest andalignment of personal values with the goals and impact of that specific broader impacts (BI)activity. The intent here was for the students to identify an area of BI activity that aligned withtheir interests and motivations right from the beginning
