AB  - There currently exists a substantial gap in preparation between traditionally trained graduate students and the multi-faceted demands required of them by a typical faculty career. Acknowledging the insufficiency of the traditional siloed approach to future faculty training, this work-in-progress paper presents an effective strategy to equip graduate students with a common lexicon to more accurately articulate the areas in which they require additional training or mentorship. In this holistic approach, researchers designed professional development modules that were framed using an entrepreneurial mindset framework and embedded these modules into three engineering and engineering education graduate courses at two major R1 institutions in the eastern United States over multiple semesters. Relevant elements of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) were embedded into these modules with accompanying reflection activities. Together, the 63 element descriptors in the RDF describe four domains that are meant to encompass the primary behaviors, skills, attributes, and professional standards expected of successful researchers across academic, government, and industrial sectors. Spaced throughout the semester, these RDF activities prompted graduate students to reflect on their current skills and abilities and clearly articulate their future mentoring and training needs in those areas. This paper details how this holistic approach was implemented and its synergistic activities to promote student reflection. This paper provides preliminary results in the form of student feedback about the use of the RDF in the courses from end-of-semester surveys and student interviews and suggestions for improvements based on instructors’ experiences.
