Rohde, Jacqueline; Musselman, Lisa; Benedict, Brianna; Verdin, Dina; Godwin, Allison; Kirn, Adam; Benson, Lisa; Potvin, Geoff – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2019
Contribution: This paper found that design experiences can foster engineering identity and belongingness for early career electrical and computer engineering students. Students had different interpretations of what it meant to be an engineer (identity) and their belongingness in engineering. This paper provides novel insights into how students may…
