How do individual, microsystem, and mesosystem-level influences in a students’ academic environment affect graduate students’ abilities to develop a strong sense of interdisciplinary scholar identity, critical to self-efficacy and professional development, as they become professors in interdisciplinary spaces? 2. What are graduate students’ perceptions of the interrelationship between various layers of their academic environment (i.e., academic backgrounds and previous learning, microsystems, and mesosystems) and their interdisciplinary scholar professional identity development?Theoretical

Black engineers in leadership positions face additional trials in these scenarios ofvisibility, such as garnering respect, representing their entire race, and extra labor withoutconsideration or compensation for their roles and duties [16], [17]. Language is often used as a tool for shaping identity in STEM fields [18]. For Blackpeople, the use of language is also used as an identity-shaping device that connects

Thirdly, the intersectionality of graduate students' identities, including race,ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, and how it may affect mentoring relationships andretention rates, has not been thoroughly explored. Fourthly, there is a lack of clarity on the mosteffective formats and structures of mentoring for various graduate student groups. Finally, whilemost of the existing work on STEM mentoring has been conducted in academic settings, therole of mentoring in professional contexts, where graduate students may face uniquechallenges, requires further investigation.

In this study, students who developed a healthy work-life balance and found time todetach completely from academic responsibilities both had lower levels of stress and a greaterself-reported ability to manage their stress. However, as previous studies have found, it is likelythat a student’s identity as an engineering graduate student, and the environment they live andwork in, might stand between them and more effective coping strategies [6], [15], [34], [40].The engineering student “boot camp mentality”—the belief that an experience of sharedsuffering and hardship can bring people closer together—can make some students feel as
