In contrast, theparticipants described in much of the identity literature related to educator development comefrom fields where teaching is the main focus of preparation for future careers(e.g., 6, 9). A fewstudies have been done in engineering on teaching(e.g., 11), but the research is very limited.SummaryEducational researchers have taken multiple approaches to exploring student identitydevelopment. While most of the research methods have been qualitative in nature, few studies Page 24.652.3have adopted quantitative approaches. The

between gender and/or ethno-racial identity and the stereotype ofengineering as a field appropriate for white males can impede the development of STEM identities amongwomen and minorities. With the increasing importance of innovation, students who pursue engineering graduate degreesoften seek to build skills in conducting research (Brown and Linden, 2008). The social psychologicalconstruct of identity has emerged as a relatively new metric for assessing graduate student retention andsuccess. Studies suggest that graduate students’ identities correlate with their competency levels as wellas their professional and academic motivation (Alexander, 2011; Silver, Garver, and Watkins, 2011;Virgil, 2016). Importantly however, the literature

Instead,we would need to first identify how students relate to a course in cybersecurity. Therefore, wechose to first perform a qualitative study of students enrolled in an introductory cybersecuritycourse and then use those results to inform our development of the quantitative tool. 14Initial Qualitative StudyOver the course of a semester, we performed 3 rounds of semi-structured interviews with studentsenrolled in an introductory cybersecurity course designed for upper division undergraduate andfirst year graduate students. 7,27 Our goal was to discover those topics and experiences that

Few innovations have emerged to meet students attheir current skill and preparation levels when entering their graduate studies while also consideringstudents' individual desired career paths. The U.S.'s current approach to graduate STEM education doesnot emphasize preparing students with professional skills and experience outside the lab. Further,students from differing socioeconomic and underserved backgrounds are often not adequatelysupported.

First, a pilot survey of371 first-year engineering students was conducted at three institutions in the U.S. during thespring semester of 2015. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to examine theunderlying structure of the piloted questions about students’ engineering identity. The developeditems were used in a subsequent study deployed in the fall semester of 2015 that measured morethan 2500 first-year engineering students’ attitudes and beliefs at four institutions in the U.S. Thedata on engineering identity measures from this second survey were
