in graduateschool [15]– [4], very few scholars in engineering education research have characterizedstudents' expectations of graduate school and how these expectations do not align with their livedexperiences. Previous work has neglected the impact of misalignments between expectations andexperiences on students' ability to persist, except for Zerbe and Sallai's paper [17]. They foundmisalignments in students' expectations on the psychological level, such as feelings of malaise,the anticipation of being overworked, and the expectation of not having a work-life balance.However, less attention was paid to sociological or policy expectations or misalignments.The present work builds on our group's ongoing exploration of graduate attrition.

We discuss the pedagogical approaches that: 1) foster reflective self-leadership; 2)support the emergence of personal vision; and 3) create learning communities. We conclude bysharing recommendations for engineering educators to implement engineering-graduate-student-specific, leadership development initiatives at their institutions.ContextThe Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at U of T is home to approximately 3000graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and 5000 undergraduate students. The graduatestudent population is divided equally into three degree-programs, PhD, research-based Masters,and course-based, professional Masters.

Accordingto Deboer et al [2], despite the potential for at-home lab kits to serve as a blended learningsupplement in online environment, the literature on best practices for adoption in STEM onlineenvironment is very scanty. Subsequently, to bridge the gap in the current hands-off virtuallaboratory simulations, as well as provide more insight into best practices for adoption of home-based hands-on activities in STEM, this research seeks to develop, implement, and assess thehome based, hands

advantageous opportunity toprepare future engineers analytically, practically, and morally. Integrated ethics content canencourage students to practice “what is right to do and how will my decisions impact thesociotechnical and societal norms within society?” The process of seeking answers for thesequestions can help students to recognize the ethical and moral conflicts as a part of designproblems. In a complex design process, there are often conflicts, and these potential conflictsshould be considered simultaneously by design engineers [7].Researchers conceptualize the design process and propose moral reflections with distinctapproaches that are informed by empirical research in socio-technical contexts [6].

Further, more specifically identified audiences led to stronger outcomes – forexample discerning between high school students versus juniors taking a physics class.Conducting the research was another area in which students pointed to struggles, which ifovercome, led to enriched learning outcomes. On the contrary, if students confronted a challengeand were not able to surmount it, then the learning outcomes were not achieved.
