personalized learningmodel (PLM) for graduate education within the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. Thismodel aims to transform and modernize graduate STEM education through a personalized, inclusive, andstudent-centered approach, which will, in turn, advance existing knowledge on the relationship betweenpersonalized learning and student outcomes.The principles of personalized learning guide the PLM. It is comprised of five components. The first threecomponents provide an intentional approach to learning: Instructional Goals developed for each studentbased on a learner profile and individual development plans (IDP), a purposeful Task Environment thatbreaks the traditional three-credit coursework into modules and co-curricular

the unique challenges faced by students changing orintegrating multiple disciplinary backgrounds and identities. If the student might seekemployment outside of academia, they may need mentors external to their institution and theacademic network of their research supervisor.Students may not establish the professional networks necessary to cultivate such a variety ofmentor relationships without explicitly planned networking activities and skill development. Tobuild these networks and seek out meaningful mentor relationships that are key to theirsuccessful identity development, a graduate student needs a strong sense of self-efficacy,motivation, and autonomy [7]. Independence, motivation, and self-direction have also beenshown to be vital for

Thiswould not only allow us to meet the growing demand for engineers in West Michigan, but itwould be well aligned with our program’s student-centric focus. To prepare the students for thegraduate-level engineering work, an exhaustive list of prerequisite undergraduate classes thatstudents must take has been approved. While each applicant’s curriculum is tailored, GVSU’sSchool of Engineering developed a general plan to onboard students from a variety of non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds. Applicants are granted conditional admission to thegraduate program predicated on completing the prerequisite classes with a B or better grade.These plans allow the

The firsttheme pertains to the refinement of academic course plans. For instance, one faculty memberhighlighted the need for a revision in academic coursework to incorporate more relevantproblem-solving, data analytics, and writing skills.
