AB  -      Wearing Hats: A look at multifaceted identity through cross-disciplinary experiences in                                          engineeringQualitative researchers have often used an identity lens when examining professionaldevelopment. The many facets of identity are crucial to learning as they tend to act as self-fulfilling prophecies and are likely to play a critical role in shaping individuals’ actions.Recently, research has emerged which uses crystallized identity as a framework to exploremultiple facets of professional development. The framework of crystallized identity offersinsight into emotions that drive professionals to act in a certain way when confronted with adecision or a conflict. These emotions also play a role in creating barriers between professionalsfrom different disciplines. While research using crystallized identity has been focused on topicssuch as women’s professional development, the framework has not been specifically focused onthe engineering profession. Importantly, the influences of emotion in the development of anengineer and in that individual’s cross-disciplinary development are as yet unaddressed. Thispaper reflects work being done on a two year longitudinal study using a collection of 31participants that span multiple disciplines in engineering and developmental stages (e.g.freshmen to professional). The data from this study on cross-disciplinary experiences is drawnfrom two photo elicitation interviews that focus on the participants’ views on their personal,professional, disciplinary, and cross-disciplinary lives. This paper intends to show theimplications of using the crystallized identity framework to help researchers understand howindividuals explore cross-disciplinarity in their professional development.
