Study Notes

Professional Identity

Professional identity is an important part of one's self-conception, especially for professionals.
When introducing oneself, profession is often a key aspect of one's identity.
For engineers, professional identity is likely to be a significant part of their self-image.

Development of Professional Identity

There are three stages in the development of professional identity:

Stage 1: Independent Operator

Professionalism is seen as meeting fixed and clearly defined guidelines and expectations external to one's character.
This stage involves adhering to rules and behaviors.

Stage 2: Team-Oriented Idealist

Professionalism is seen as conforming to the expectations of other professionals, especially exemplary ones.
This stage involves identifying with the expectations of one's peers.

Stage 3: Self-Defining or Integrated Professional

Professionalism is integrated with personal values, making it a part of who one is.
This stage is often not fully achieved until mid-life.
