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

At our institution, discoursearound engineering’s inherent difficulty, a celebration of our students’ “grit” in the face ofacademic adversity, and a hazing-like narrative around student “suffering” all endure despiteextensive, systematic attention to student mental health and the importance of “work-lifebalance” across the university community. Research indicates that emotionally unsafeenvironments lead to stress, lower attendance at school, and less engagement in learning,whereas emotionally safe environments are related to more positive identity development, betterlearning experiences, and greater feelings

The accrediting board for engineering programs in the US and manyschools abroad is ABET, and they define student outcomes as “what students are expected toknow and be able to do by the time of graduation.” One of the Student Outcomes is (3)“demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” [9].

Belonging is acritical dimension of student success affecting a student’s degree of academic adjustment,persistence, and post-graduate aspirations, while also contributing to institutional benchmarkslike retention and degree completion [1].
