of collaborativeproblem-solving theories into practical teaching strategies remains a significant challenge,largely due to the absence of concrete guidelines [12].Graduate Teaching Assistants are often the primary point of contact for students in laboratoryand recitation sections, where their approachability and relatability, due to closer age andexperience levels, can significantly enhance the learning environment [13]–[16]. This dynamicpositions GTAs as crucial facilitators of both subject matter and research-based knowledge,potentially impacting students' satisfaction and perception of value in their laboratoryexperiences [13]. However, the effectiveness of GTAs is contingent upon their ability tointegrate subject matter expertise with
innovation, and the tension between design engineering and business management cognitive styles. To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas. Mark is also researches empathy and mindfulness and its impact on gender participation in engineering education. He is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering at Stanford University and teaches the course ME310x Product Management and ME305 Statistics for Design Researchers. Mark has extensive background in consumer products management, having managed more than 50 consumer driven businesses over a 25-year career with The Procter &

Graduate students can provide insightsregarding graduate programs' inner workings that directly benefit their institutions' academicprograms. For instance, analyzing the students' perspectives regarding courses, roles, andrelationships with supervisors is essential for programs to improve best practices [9]. In ourwork, we consider how our relationships with supervisors/mentors can influence the ways weconceptualize our development as researchers and designers.Graduate students are not just student researchers; they are developing faculty members andindustry professionals.

Implications from this work will help students,faculty, and administrators begin conversations about student goals and encourage students toengage in reflective practices to determine the value of the doctoral degree for them along withwhether their courses and research align with their goals.INTRODUCTION & LITERATURE REVIEW Attrition is high in engineering graduate programs.

A study on the impact of an NSF-supportedSTEM scholarship program revealed that a one-credit course focusing on teamwork significantlyimproved students' presentation skills and interpersonal confidence [9]. However, the projectwork was deemed too time-consuming for a one-hour credit course, and the issue of unevenwork distribution among team members remained unresolved. In another study, an
