decade, education and training pedagogies and delivery processes havechanged dramatically. Currently, learners of all ages clamor for more flexibility in training. Thetraditional educational approach of full degrees in a discipline is being supplemented, and insome cases replaced, by shorter, focused training in specific skills sets. Micro-credentials areevidence of skills achieved and knowledge acquired. Stackable credentials resulting in micro-credentials are also on the rise. These offerings range from 100% on-line to a mix of face-to-faceinteractions over short periods of time (e.g., workshops that are 2 to 5 days). The delivery ofmost short courses, often advertised as fast tracking your career, preparing students to be work-force ready

Infact, mentees who had a positive relationship with their mentor reported greater job satisfactionand a decreased likelihood of stagnation in their career [4]. The combination of a strongeridentity and an increase in overall performance of a student during and after their academiccareer highlights the importance of continuing research in mentor-mentee interactions.However, previous research largely focuses on the benefits that students gain frommentor-mentee relationships. To better understand the intricacies of the mentor-menteerelationship, in this work we investigate

Followership is a different role requiring different, but complementary, skills to those of leadership.[4]”Hurwitz and Hurwitz also stress that followership is an active role that helps the teamaccomplish the mission, takes initiative to scout new information, insights, and options, andcontributes ideas and advice. Hurwitz and Hurwitz emphasize that as individuals develop theywill play the role of both leader and follower at all points in their careers.

Chemical engineering as a major,though, teaches students a number of invaluable concepts and fundamentals that can be applied toprojects involving the life sciences and medical field.The lack of understanding of the opportunities for chemical engineers may be a reason for the lowretention rates as a major, especially for female undergraduates, as they are not exposed to theopportunities that interest them, such as biomedical applications, early enough in theirundergraduate careers.

Engineers face challenges which can result in both failure andtriumph. Studying the source of an individual’s motivation in conjunction with how theyperceive themselves as an engineer may provide long-term insight into ways in which one canpositively enhance the other. Previous work suggests that establishing a strong sense of identityin the workplace can result in greater career motivation [1]. We hypothesize that a stronger senseof engineering identity correlates with stronger academic motivation, and that ultimately onemay be used to measure the other with acceptable validity and reliability.
