Background: A perceived fit between personal values and what a career offers is critical for college students pursuing and persisting in that career. Purpose/Hypothesis(es): We, therefore, investigated the career values of engineering undergraduates through language in two different studies. Study 1 (N = 35) examined students' written postgraduation plans for agentic and communal career value themes. Drawing on Study 1 themes, Study 2 (N = 918) examined the association of achievement-related and interpersonal word categories in written narratives to surveyed career values. Design/Method: In Study 1, inductive and deductive approaches were used to identify agentic and communal career values. In Study 2, regressions were conducted using achievement-related and interpersonal words as outcomes. Results: Study 1 found agentic and communal value themes. Agentic value themes included career, personal development, and financial gains. Communal value themes included helping others and being family-oriented. Results from Study 2 showed that students' language use in the discussion of their careers was associated with surveyed career values. Conclusion: Although engineering students hold more agentic than communal values, they hold both career values, which may have implications for supporting students from diverse backgrounds.
