engineering identity development,contributing to our understanding of this important, complex, and dynamic process.IntroductionSeveral factors have been shown to influence an engineering student’s ability to recognize andidentify themselves as an engineer, including personal academic achievement, experience in theengineering field, acceptance of family legacies, or a combination of other factors [1], [2], [3].As an engineering student experiences and accepts these factors, they can better envision andrealize their potential as an engineer. However, due to their diverse backgrounds and priorknowledge, we know that students have differing definitions of what it means to be a ‘successfulengineer’ [4], [5]. While some students base their definitions on

One way thatengineering programs encourage global engineering competency is through study abroadprograms.

Yet, CS majors can encounter programming as a barrier and in many casesleave the field altogether. The learning process that CS majors encounter while developing theirprogramming skills is multifaceted.
