Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the current states of role model and effects on the expertise development in engineers (i.e., undergraduate students and experts in the field of engineering). Based on the previous studies, role model was categorized into two domain, general role model and value sharing role model. A total of 257 participants (162 undergraduate students, 95 experts) answered survey questions about their role model (the number of their role model, the frequency of meeting with them, and the number of sharing value with them), major confidence, knowledge acquisition, and research performance. The results showed that engineers had 1 or 2 general role models and that the contents of role model were different between the two groups. The value-sharing role model significantly predicted major confidence and research performance in undergraduate students whereas the number of general role model was closely associated with major satisfaction in experts. These results suggest that it is important for engineering major students to have general role model and value-sharing role model in order to enhance expertise development. Establishing infrastructure for having and meeting with role models can facilitate the development of personal expertise in engineers.
