背景社会认同理论已被用来了解学生和专业从事工程。工程身份的发展，但是，可以被破坏的障碍和挑战与种族化和性别化的看法engineering.Purpose/HypothesisThis研究探讨了工程身份的发展和弹性的黑人女性工程师在行业通过探索他们的经验，在工程工作场所。许多研究记录了代表性不足的群体在工程领域面临的挑战。这项工作，而不是，侧重于特定的支持和授权，使继续参与工程workworld.Design/MethodThis解释现象学分析包括9个自我认同的黑人女性工程师目前受雇于工程行业至少10年的工作经验，并探讨了背景，途径进入并通过工程，和它意味着什么是一个工程师通过90分钟的采访，每个participant.ResultsThe结果这项研究表明，工程身份的发展本身并不有助于保留黑人妇女在工程工作场所，而是汇合种族，性别，和角色的身份，艾滋病在发展中的弹性工程identity.ConclusionsThe正式的，非正式的，和结构的教育经验的黑人女工程师是一个弹性的工程身份的发展至关重要。这种身份依赖于与黑人、女性和工程师相关的复杂性。
BackgroundSocial identity theory has been used to understand student and professional engagement in engineering. Engineering identity development, however, can be disrupted by the barriers and challenges associated with the racialized and gendered perceptions of engineering.Purpose/HypothesisThis study examined the engineering identity development and resilience of Black women engineers in industry through the exploration of their experiences in the engineering workplace. Many studies document challenges that underrepresented groups face in engineering. This work, instead, focuses on particular supports and empowerment that enabled continued participation in the engineering workforce over time.Design/MethodThis interpretative phenomenological analysis consisted of nine self‐identified Black women engineers currently employed in engineering industry with at least 10 years of work experience and explored the background, pathway into and through engineering, and what it means to be an engineer through 90‐min interviews with each participant.ResultsThe results of this study suggest that engineering identity development alone does not contribute to the retention of Black women in the engineering workplace but instead the confluence of race, gender, and role identity that aids in developing a resilient engineering identity.ConclusionsThe formal, informal, and structural educational experiences of Black women engineers are critical to the development of a resilient engineering identity. This identity is dependent on the complexities associated with being Black, a woman, and an engineer.
