career exploration symposium, and a multidisciplinary introductory course – have beenassessed. Notably, all opportunities were evaluated fairly positively by the trainees. Specifically,survey data collected after the onboarding and orientation event indicated that trainees valued theopportunity to learn more about the NRT, ask questions, and meet faculty who expressed acommitment to student success. Similarly, trainee responses to surveys collected after the careerexploration symposium found that trainees reported an increase in their knowledge of careerpaths and hiring sectors, an appreciation for the diversity of the presenters and career paths, andthe attainment of at least one new skill or strategy they felt would aid in their graduate

graduate school. If a student’sfuture in a graduate program is dependent on funding provided and controlled by an advisor orother faculty member, then the likelihood of an advisor or faculty member providing continuingfunding upon return to the university is a significant factor in the decision. We know that manyengineering graduate students identify financial concerns as a major area of cost when attendinggraduate school (Peters & Daly, 2013). Any opportunity for professional development must bedesigned to accommodate the existing system of funding—to mitigate financial burdens or offsetfinancial burdens with benefits from participation.MarketingMarketing was highlighted as a source of potential error in REEFE.

overall identity in the community of practice of graduate school. This work contributesto the limited number of studies on engineering doctoral students’ identity, and may haveimplications for persistence and representation amongst engineering doctoral students.Introduction Doctoral students develop multiple role identities as they enter the community of practiceof academia through their graduate school experience [2]. Identity is the “kind of person” one is,derived from one’s performance in social contexts, rather than from one’s internal state [6]. Arole identity, specifically, is how an individual relates to the characteristics and expectationsassociated with a role or position they are enacting [7]–[9]. For example, how an

addressing writing issues of students. In addition, Jenkins (1993) found thatgraduate faculty members would re-write anywhere from 11-25% of their students’ theses. Thus,it appears that advisors tend to take on more an role of copy editor than that of writing mentor.The strategies listed above are not necessarily sustainable for graduate faculty nor supportive tostudents who are learning to create an academic and professional “writing persona” (Becker,1986) as well as taking on a “authorial voice” (Hyland, 2002).Engineering-Based Graduate Writing CentersOne writing support initiative that has been undertaken in Colleges of Engineering has been thedevelopment of college-specific writing centers, with the few institutions that have

, participantswere most interested in faculty positions but that interest decreased over time (M = 3.60 to 3.33). Theirinterest in obtaining an industry research position increased over time (M = 3.40 to 4.33) and it was thehighest among other options (e.g., a faculty position, a research position in a university, start-up) in Year3. From the responses to an open-ended question, it seemed that participants got into the program with asolid career goal, primarily a faculty position, but they changed their mind as they became more aware ofspecific interests they had. “Upon first entering the graduate program, I had complete desire to enter academia and become a professor. However, I am the type of person who likes to try new things, and
