Engineering, The State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo and from 2008 to 2012, I was an assistant professor in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North Dakota State University (NDSU). Previously, from 2004 to 2008, I worked for Magma Design Automation, San Jose CA, where I received the outstanding technical contribution award in 2007. During the Summer of 2001, I worked on analog circuit synthesis and layout at NeoLinear Inc., Pittsburgh PA. During 1996-1997, I was an Erasmus graduate student at the University of Patras, Greece. I serve on the technical program committee of several conferences including NOCS, SOCC, and ReConFig. I am a senior member of IEEE and a member of ACM and Eta Kappa Nu. I

-traditional students, adeeper examination of this group within graduate education research becomes critical, especiallyconsidering that only a few studies concentrate on their motivations and experiences. The resultsof these examinations can support graduate programs to make further changes to the design anddelivery of their doctoral curriculums by accounting for the unheard voices of these non-traditional students and raising awareness of their lived experiences throughout their program. In this paper, we describe the preliminary results of a collaborative autoethnographicexploration of the professional and educational experiences of two professional non-traditionaldoctoral students in engineering and computing education.

Such a mentorship culturalbridge is designed to relationally connect mentor and mentee to each other in functional andimpactful ways, with goals to discover more about each other’s culture, build relational trust andempathy, practice relationship building, improve cross-cultural communication skills, andprovide a pathway to improved understanding and valuing of differences. Moreover, thiscultural bridge should make graduate education mentorship a mutually beneficial effort andinspire mentees to be successful in a competitive culture of high expectations, such aspreparation for and success in a Ph.D. program

In addition, priorresearch has shown that EIF want to develop and implement learner-centered, culturallyresponsive instructional designs, but lack the support given to their tenure-line counterparts atfour-year institutions [18].Given the recent growth in these positions, researchers have called for universities to addressdepartmental and university-wide culture and policies around hiring, developing, and promotinginstructional faculty [34], [35], [36], [26].
