to understand what this process may entail.According to some graduate education scholars, there are four core elements related to graduatestudents' development of an identity congruent with the norms and values of their field:knowledge acquisition, investment, involvement, and engagement (Weidman, 2006). Knowledgeacquisition describes how students learn skills and information that will help them perform wellin their new role as a Ph.D. student, as well as gain an understanding of what academic successentails. Through knowledge acquisition, students become aware of normative expectations of thePh.D. student role and can make a realistic assessment of their personal ability to pursue theirdesired career. The student's investment reflects their

The students seeking a license must complete anadditional 42 credits during their academic career, including 18 credits of summer practical workon a ship. This means the license students must take 17 to 19 credits every semester to graduateon-time. Therefore, students who transfer into the school tend not to select the license programand there is strong overlap between transfer students and non-license students.This paper aims to assess whether transfer (XFER) students at SUNY Maritime College performpoorly in senior-level courses, long after the post-transfer semesters, compared to first-timefreshmen (FTF).

Moredetails of each of these stages are supplied in the sections below, and an overview is providedin Figure 1. Within each phase, iterative cycles of testing and refinement based ondesign-based research methods [19,20] were employed.

PjBL is an instructional method that aids students in deeper learning anddevelopment of non-cognitive skills that are necessary for their future career [4]. The main issuewith these two instructional methods is that it can present significant challenges for students thatare under-prepared or are not provided adequate resources (e.g., instructor office hours or tutors)[5,6]. A variety of PBL and PjBL methods utilize programming software such as MATLAB toallow students to simulate their model and various conditions.At the Virginia Military Institute

Because the number ofstudents in the class is relatively large compared to higher level courses, the interaction with allstudents beyond the classes is challenging for an instructor.

The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions. This paperintroduces a pedagogical boardgame aimed at simulating arguments within an engineeringexercise, as well as the study planned to track the changes.A diverse team has people with different backgrounds, experience, and ways of thinking.

If a student is able to master all the fundamental skills, they will have a C- and they willpass the class as shown in Table 2. While students who only pass the fundamental skills may notget as much practice with the essential and advanced skills, they will still be exposed to theseskills on instruction days and through homework and laboratory exercises. By achieving masteryon the fundamental skills, students should have a full understanding of these topics which theycan apply to future engineering courses.
