工程师身份被认为与教育和职业持久性有关。特别是，学生对工程社区的归属感对这条道路至关重要。主要的研究问题是：1）哪些学生自我认同为工程师？2）什么是与自我认同相关的关键因素？为了解决这些研究问题，在2009年春季进行了一项横断面研究的所有本科工程专业的学生在一个中等规模的，中西部私立大学。大多数工科学生确实自我认同为工程师，教育进展、性别和未来职业规划都是重要的属性。学生们最常认为是被认为是工程师所必需的因素在本质上是无形的，包括：做出有能力的设计决策，与他人合作分享想法和承担责任。学生作为工程师的自我认同可以与对工程学院的归属感以及组织认可联系起来。
Engineering identity is believed to relate to educational and professional persistence. In particular, a student's sense of belonging to the engineering community is critical to that path. The primary research questions were: 1) which students self-identify as engineers?; and 2) what are the key factors that relate to self-identification? To address these research questions, a cross-sectional study of all undergraduate engineering students at a medium sized, Midwestern private university was conducted in the spring of 2009. The majority of engineering students did self- identify as engineers, with educational progression, gender and future career plans all being significant attributes. The factors that students most frequently identified as being necessary to be considered an engineer were intangible in nature and included: making competent design decisions, working with others to share ideas and accepting responsibility. Students' self-identification as engineers can be linked to a sense of belonging to the engineering college, as well as organisational recognition.
