Moreover, suddenchanges such as job loss, sickness, market changes, natural disasters, and economic shifts caninfluence career aspirations and development (Duffy & Dik, 2009).Third, spiritual and religious factors may influence a person’s career aspirations (Duffy & Dik,2009). A study by Abe and Chikoko (2020) regarding STEM graduate student career decisions inSouth Africa noted that spirituality and morality are closely linked and provide direction andmeaning in one’s career choice.

forman integral part of graduate school in higher institutions as they serve as mentors, advisors, andexpert guides to graduate students during their academic journey. In many institutions, they alsoplay an integral part in determining who gets accepted into engineering graduate programs. Forthese reasons, we consider the perception of faculties to be an influential factor to be studied forthis research, as they are the central point of contact and decision-making for any graduatestudent. They are also a major support system to graduate students and play a pivotal role insteering their academic and professional journey. The role of faculty goes beyond providingacademic guidance; they also assist with funding opportunities, mentor students

Discrimination has been reported from these groups due to white and male-dominated environments [16]–[18]. Some papers demonstrated how rapid changes of requirementsfor doctoral students in preparing for their future career is a reason for the misalignment ofstudents’ expectations in the program [19]–[21].These personal and institutional environments have an impact on engineering graduate students’mental health [17].

In response to an interview prompt asking if and howfaculty members promoted respect for student differences, the faculty member explained thatstudent differences transcended nationality or ethnicity. They spoke specifically about the genderdifferences, differences in socioeconomic statuses (SES), and personality types in their classroomsand how those differences translate when enforcing school policies. One such policy was thatstudents had to leave their cameras on during online classes and exams. The faculty member wenton to explain that this policy had to be relaxed because some lower SES students had problemsjoining class because of the bandwidth demands. Another faculty

In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations

paradigms that undergird engineering education, practice, and industry [12],[14]–[17]. Typically, these explorations are concerned with the paradigms, or beliefs aboutknowledge (epistemology), the nature of being (ontology), and methodological threads inengineering education. Many scholars also study the sociocultural norms and assumptions thatexist within formative engineering spaces [18]–[22]. However, one underexplored area isengineering research more broadly. Most work examining engineering culture concerns itselfwith connections to the education and training of new engineers. Explicitly exploring the spaceof engineering research, which is often occupied by graduate students, engineering faculty, andresearch scientists, would provide critical
