AB  - This work in progress (WIP) paper focuses on the development and initial validation of a survey adapting the three identity scales from Godwin’s (2016) Engineering Identity measure – Recognition (R), Interest (I), and Competence (C) - to assess research identity formation in doctoral engineering students. This study is a product of an NSF grant (Award No. 2205033) obtained to apply user experience (UX) methods to investigate the process through which doctoral engineering students develop their research identity. This survey was conducted during 2022 and 2023 for on-site and online Ph.D. students enrolled in various engineering fields at a large research university in the United States. In addition to the three identity scales, items from the survey include demographics, self-perceptions of capability to perform in different contexts, and various curricular and co-curricular experiences, including research experiences. Validation results include exploratory factor analysis of items utilizing oblimin rotation, KMO and Bartlett’s test, pattern matrix, component correlation matrix, and Cronbach’s alpha measures for each identity construct. These results suggest that the survey’s adaptation for research identity formation is valid and reliable. The instrument properties are further compared with the most closely related measures, including Godwin’s original scales, their sources, and the expanded researcher identity measure proposed by Perkins et al. (2018). Future research and applied work can benefit from this study by considering the experiences of other doctoral students, including those in programs beyond the engineering contexts studied. This research may impact future engineering doctoral program designs and contribute to the education of generations of doctoral engineering students and scholars interested in this area.
