Most interesting weregraduate engineering student responses to two of the surveys given, which will be discussed atlength later and are described in our prior work. Literature suggests that survey fidelity decreases with longer surveys, due to “surveyfatigue” [24] in which participants lose focus or care over their answers, an unwelcomephenomenon in the collection of data. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present a shortform of the survey which consists of only the survey items that most highly predict writingattitudes. The next section will introduce the two

.Degree Maps: Degree maps play a pivotal role in shaping students' academic journeys by providing a structured guide outlining the sequence of courses required to fulfill degree requirements. Prior to 2021, the absence of standardized degree maps within CoE led to department-specific versions that lacked flexibility to accommodate students changing majors after commencing their studies. These disjointed maps often compelled students to shift majors midstream to take classes out of sequence, ultimately extending their time to graduation. However, a transformative shift occurred after introducing a unified and comprehensive degree map in 2021 across all engineering, engineering technology, and computer science programs

internalization of certain valuesover others.IntroductionGraduate students engaging in research education are vying for admission to a community ofscholars, learning to operate within specific requirements, regulations, and expectations in eachfield of study [1]. Shifts in how doctoral students view themselves and their peers, their mentors,the field, and generated knowledge occur throughout the research education process.Simultaneously, students proceed through the process of taking on or rejecting values and valuesystems (axiology) that are proliferated and perpetuated in their professional field of study. Inaddition to messages conveyed from graduate development within engineering environments,graduate students also bring their beliefs about knowledge
analysis somewhat descriptively with little to no interpretation. For example, tenCaten and colleagues' study [40] involved the analysis of a single 2.5 hour focus group withseven participants. The only mention of analysis was that it was, “transcribed, indexed, andanalyzed” (p. 143). The findings were then presented in three sections that align with questionsasked during the focus group. Another example of this with a more narrative approach was inMeyer and Fang where five participants were interviewed and asked to bring a journey map.There was also minimal discussion of the data analysis, “Data analysis was made based on thetranscriptions and reflections from the interviews as well as the graphic journey maps thatparticipants had generated” (p

Importantly, the data is gathered through the participants’ perceptions of these items.MethodsA survey informed by role identity theory was developed for and distributed to a population ofengineering, education, and engineering education students to better understand their views onbeing teachers, researchers, and lifelong learners. The survey was developed through an iterativerefinement process that employed multiple experts and a pilot study with individuals outside ofthe population. Once the data was collected, it was analyzed using statistical techniques tocompare the groups’ professional identities

Though “women earn about half the doctorates in scienceand engineering in the United States [they] comprise only 21% of full science professors and 5%of full engineering professors” [14]. A comprehensive study of multiple processes playing a rolein these disparities showed that there was a cumulative effect of advantages for men anddisadvantages for women that built over time to produce highly gendered outcomes by the timethey reached the advanced stages of the education pipeline [15].Thus, the solution to the gendergap in STEM must reach deeper than retention efforts aiming at the college population.Also, a significant gap exists in pay among men and women, even when controlling

The second round of interviews involvedasking the students to complete a journey map to guide the interview focused on understandingtheir identity trajectory. This journey map documented the “high points” and “low points” of astudent’s experiences over the previous semester and was used as a reflective tool and datacollection artifact to guide the narrative interviews. The third round of interviews continues to usejourney maps and students’ stories to understand their development in engineering.The interviews were used to develop “restoryed” case summaries.
