improved to support student mental health,reduce attrition rates, and bridge the gender and ethno-racial gaps in graduation rates, makingdoctoral education a more viable career path for engineers.Identity development in engineering doctoral students Research on identity development in engineering students has primarily focused onundergraduates, and only a handful have considered identity development in graduate students[1], [2], [3], [4]. Because engineering graduate students, and especially doctoral students, oftenmatriculate with professional experience, researchers have assumed that graduate students enterdoctoral programs with a ready-made professional identity as engineers. However, training indoctoral engineering programs requires

These interdisciplinary graduate programspose great opportunities for expanding the professional skills and knowledge base of STEMgraduate students, but they exist

, identity building, and coping for boththe producer and the consumer [27], [28]. Moreover, social media and memes have beenidentified as an important medium through which minoritized graduate students, especially atprimarily white institutions, can build social support, challenge racialized stereotyping, solicitadvice, and practice self-care [28], [29].Meme-producers often leverage techniques such as hyperbole, humor, and dark humor toexaggerate their lived-experiences in the quest for “relatability,” likes, and retweets. While manyindividuals [27] including the present authors, have associated graduate school memes withfeeling less alone in their programs and development of their identity as graduate students, thesesame memes may serve to

surveys from the Graduate Student Experience in the Research University (gradSERU)online service. The fellows recognized several gaps in Purdue’s graduate mentoring experiencethat needed to be addressed: an engineering-specific individual development plan (IDP), surveysof faculty members, and educating students about taboo mentorship topics.An IDP was created for PhD or master’s students in the College of Engineering. The document isintended to guide students through four steps: a skillset self-assessment, goals for Year 1 ofgraduate school, a meeting between student and advisor, and progress updates after the first year.The IDP was published on the university website and distributed among the engineeringdepartments in August 2022 and has since

The Graduate Research Experience and Transitioning to Grad School (GREaT GradS)program was developed to borrow from undergraduate bridge programs and interventions whilemaintaining that one does not need to approach graduate students who have already beenadmitted under the premise of a deficit model, such as the Meyerhoff Scholars Program [23] -[25] or Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program [26], [27].GREaT GradS is a 6-week, graduate foundational program for incoming students in STEMdisciplines, including engineering, materials science, chemistry, and physics.
