involvement with individuals and groups outside normalclassroom and laboratory activities. The five Latina participants named their families andcampus organizations focused on women in engineering as important sources of support as theypursued their education. Further, this study found that Latinas in engineering encounter tensionbetween their engineering identities and other identities such as their gender and racial/ethnicidentities. By understanding the process of professional identity development and its interactionswith other personal identities, researchers, practitioners, and administrators may develop supportmechanisms that provide a holistic approach to supporting the present and future success ofLatina engineering students.LATINAS
