Lab became ourprimary field site. The participant-observations in the AP Lab are ongoing.The AP Lab is a material science and engineering lab whose research agenda revolves around thedevelopment of new polymers and the fabrication of microelectronic implantable devices. At thebeginning of the data collection, the AP Lab included approximately 17 lab members includingthe PI, lab director (a postdoc researcher, marked with PDM in subsequent analysis), twopostdoctoral researchers, and graduated students (some of them interns at local companies). Outof this group, eleven lab members—a lab director and ten graduate students—consented toparticipate in our study. These members were regularly attending online lab meetings during theCOVID-19 pandemic

multilingual writers inengineering and the potential of corpus-based writing instruction, the current study creates alanguage module in a form of tutoring intervention and assesses its effectiveness on fourmultilingual graduate students in Mechanical Engineering. Using a genre- and discipline-specific corpus consisting of 150 published empirical articles and 32 graduate students’manuscripts in Mechanical Engineering, the tutoring presents authentic and meaningful textsas linguistic reference. In so doing, the instructor can be saved from make discipline-inappropriate choices such as choosing an expression common in general academic Englishbut infrequent in Mechanical Engineering. By comparing sentence-level features betweenexpert and student writing

undergraduate research programming was thoroughly disrupted due to the COVID-19pandemic, it became evident that incoming graduate students may not have had the opportunityto fully prepare for the changes experienced in the first semester of graduate school. To ease thistransition, the Center for Nanoscale Science, a National Science Foundation Materials ResearchScience and Engineering Center (NSF-MRSEC) at Penn State University, developed theGraduate Research Experience and Transitioning to Grad School (GREaT GradS) programinitially for the summer of 2021 as a 6-week, graduate school summer foundational program forincoming students in disciplines spanning engineering, materials science, chemistry, and physics.After a successful pilot in 2021, the
