This book shows the reader how to write a system engineering management plan (SEMP) that reflects the company's identity and is appropriate to most customers' requirements, e.g., MIL-STD-499, ISO 9001, the U.S. Air Force Integrated Management System, and EIA STD 632. The first section of this book provides a brief introduction to the process of developing a SEMP. The remainder contains a source model of a SEMP that is generic in nature. A computer disk is included with the book to provide the SEMP in a form (Microsoft Word) that can be used for the reader's own plan.

In Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education, leading scholars, teachers, practitioners and students explore belonging and identity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and how this is impacted by disciplinary changes and the post-pandemic higher education context. In STEM fields, positivist approaches and a focus on numerical data can lead to assumptions that they are unemotional, impersonal disciplines. The need for mathematical competency, logical thinking and disciplinary contexts can be barriers to engagement, belonging and success in STEM. STEM ways of thinking, such as those underpinning abstract and complex mathematics, can form the basis for new ways of conceptualising belonging for both staff and students, going beyond socio-demographic and cultural differences. In this book, chapters and case study contributions analyse what is unique about STEM educational environments for staff and students in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. The authors examine the role of STEM pedagogies in facilitating belonging, variable impacts across student characteristics and the experiences STEM students face in their higher education experiences. It provides a valuable resource for those working in equity diversity and inclusion (EDI), STEM educational researchers and practitioners, as well as offering insights for academics and teachers in STEM higher education.

This second companion volume on engineering studies considers engineering practice including contextual analyses of engineering identity, epistemologies and values. Key overlapping questions examine such issues as an engineering identity, engineering self-understandings enacted in the professional world, distinctive characters of engineering knowledge and how engineering science and engineering design interact in practice. Authors bring with them perspectives from their institutional homes in Europe, North America, Australia\ and Asia. The volume includes 24 contributions by more than 30 authors from engineering, the social sciences and the humanities. Additional issues the chapters scrutinize include prominent norms of engineering, how they interact with the values of efficiency or environmental sustainability. A concluding set of articles considers the meaning of context more generally by asking if engineers create their own contexts or are they created by contexts. Taken as a whole, this collection of original scholarly work is unique in its broad, multidisciplinary consideration of the changing character of engineering practice.

Mark Rowden's first book, The Art of Identity was internationally recognized as a seminal work on the creation and definition of corporate identity. This much-revised and extended edition, simply titled Identity, offers further crucial knowledge about how to integrate identity into the wider commercial and financial objectives of the organization. Rowden's radical approach dispenses with common branding misconceptions and explains how to interrogate your strategy and objectives as never before through the relative weighting of three key 'averages': product, distribution and identity. He demonstrates how, by re-examining market position and values on this basis, you can redefine the content and focus of your identity, grading all visual and behavioural communications - an approach called, show tell do - into critical priorities, and then distill key values into firmwords, against which all communications can be rapidly focused as well as measured. The real examples in this book demonstrate firmwords in action. Later chapters illustrate issues of style, colour, names, logos, typefaces, structure, and how the challenges of fashion can be met. Identity also argues a new methodology for managing the creative process between the organization and its creative suppliers.

"Previous studies of undergraduate engineering students have raised questions of a student's engineering identity influencing their experience, both as an individual and also as part of a unique social culture. Aspects considered include motivation for initially selecting engineering as a major, persisting in engineering, navigating the curricular structures for degree completion, and intentions to pursue engineering in a form of professional practice beyond undergraduate studies. The current study used theoretical foundations from identity stage theory, originally introduced by Erikson in the 1950's, as a psychosocial perspective for identity based on both individual and social identification. Further, the transitional development period of emerging adulthood, introduced by Arnett in 2000, is used to frame the factors influencing undergraduate students today. A mixed method, cross-sectional study of undergraduate engineering students at the University of Notre Dame was conducted. A large-scale survey of all undergraduate engineering students, ~1100, yielded responses from ~700 students. Survey questions were based on a study approach defining adulthood by Arnett, but specifically applied to engineering identity as a parallel but unique instrument. Engineering identity from a student perspective was assessed, both in terms of self-identification (do engineering students consider themselves to be engineers?) and identifying factors that are "necessary" to be considered an engineer. (A qualitative inquiry followed to better inform our conception of engineering identity in terms of a sense of belonging to the College of Engineering as a whole.) Twelve student interviews across grade levels and engineering self-identifications were conducted as a collection of case studies. The results of the current study indicate that engineering identity is psychosocial as Erikson's theory would indicate. The personal student development, the "psycho" portion, takes place over time, and is clearly discernable between first-year students and other grade levels (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) but also takes place at different rates for individuals. Individual student experiences contribute to an overall sense of belonging to the college and engineering identity that relates to future career plans. The "social" portion of engineering identity was influenced by factors relating to how the institution identifies a student, in this case belonging to the College of Engineering."

The book Identity Issues: Literary and Linguistic Landscapes is a collection of essays, set out to explore the notion of identity as a constantly relevant, very complex, multi-faceted phenomenon. Understanding identity in a very broad sense, the authors approach it from various angles, highlighting its various aspects. The first section includes literary explorations that discuss identity issues of class, race, nation and history, as depicted in several works of, mostly, contemporary Anglo-American literature. The second section brings various linguistic studies of identity, starting with the usual sociolinguistic issues, but also including a range of other research routes, which draw upon insights from psychology, sociology, historical linguistics, cognitive linguistics, lexicology, functional grammar, and applied linguistics. The book addresses a broad academic audience. Due to its wide scope, both in topics covered and in varied theoretical approaches, it is not only aimed towards literary scholars studying modern Anglo-American literature, nor only at sociolinguists interested in language identity, but at numerous academics, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, who are interested in some of the disciplines that provided the framework for various articles (literary studies, sociology, cognitive linguistics, lexicology, functional grammar, academic writing, and English teaching). The book would be particularly appealing to all those who are interested in examining a variety of identity issues from diverse angles. The authors of the articles come from Serbia, the UK, Canada, Japan, Norway, and Romania.

This book examines identity theory’s centrality within social psychology and its foundations within structural symbolic interaction, highlighting its links not only to other prominent sociological subfields, but also to other theoretical perspectives within and beyond sociology. The book provides a synthetic overview outlining the intellectual lineage of identity theory within structural symbolic interactionism, and how the “Indiana School” of identity theory and research, associated especially with Sheldon Stryker, relates to other symbolic interactionist traditions within sociology. It also analyses the latest developments in response to the push to integrate identity theory, which initially focused on role identities, with the study of personal, group and social identities. Further, it discusses the relationship between identity theory and affect control theory, providing a sense of the many substantive topics within sociology beyond social psychology for which the study of identity has important, sometimes underappreciated implications. The book concludes with a chapter summarizing the interrelated lessons learned while also reflecting on remaining key questions and challenges for the future development of identity theory.

On the Outskirts of Engineering: Learning Identity, Gender, and Power via Engineering Practice falls at the intersection of research about women in sites of technical practice and ethnographic studies of learning in communities of practice. Grounded in long-term participation on student teams completing real-world projects for industry and government clients, Outskirts provides an insider look at forms of engineering practice—the cultural production of engineer identity, of the ways that gender is made real in such sites of practice, and of power relations that emerge in response to enculturated practices that organize everyday life. Outskirts contributes to understanding cultural obduracy and the movement of some men and most women to the outskirts of engineering.
