AB  - This research paper explores two aspects of engineering identity formation. First, the formation of engineering identity within the engineering student’s First-year is examined. Second, this paper discusses the changes from First-Year to sophomore year for chemical engineering and industrial engineering students. This work is significant as the development of an engineering identity has been positively linked to persistence in engineering. Uncovering the traits and experiences that lead to the development of a stronger engineering identity could aid in the creation of new strategies in the education and retention of engineering students that are specifically targeted to each of the individual disciplines. 
Researchers collected data at a large, public research institution in the southeastern United States, using a modified version of the SaGE survey. Adjustments were made to the SaGE survey to allow for the collection of additional information on underlying identities (namely math, chemistry, and biology) in addition to Physics. The same survey format was utilized with the addition of these content areas. The data was collected within a required First-Year introductory to engineering course in fall 2017 and sophomore level courses for chemical engineers in summer 2018 and for industrial engineers in fall 2018. All possible two-way comparisons between the three student groups are evaluated and discussed within this paper. This study adds to the broader research of engineering identity by focusing on two particular engineering disciplines, chemical and industrial and (2) allowing for investigation of additional STEM disciplines as components/predictors of the development of engineering identity.
Information gleaned from this work will help formulate future research in the assessment of the development of engineering identity (1) within specific engineering disciplines, and (2) over time throughout collegiate study. If commonalities can be found in past experiences, influencers, etc for students with strong engineering identities, it may become possible to tailor information sessions and activities for middle and high school students, to assist in the development and/or realization of stronger engineering identities.
