Our review of the literature on theexperiences of international graduate students found that prior work has primarily focused onunderstanding their sense of belonging and acclimation to higher education settings in the UnitedStates. And yet, their teaching motivation and identity as international graduate students havebeen underexplored. Expanding on existing work that examines intrinsic factors of motivation(autonomy, competence, and relatedness) for graduate teaching assistants in engineering, weanalyzed written reflections and discussions about our personal

ICT identifies key conditions that enable positive contact between members of differentraces and genders in a group. For this exploratory analysis, we included all participants in the larger study who identifiedas African American and female; all were full-time undergraduate students enrolled in an engi-neering course with a team project. The nine participants represent a range of years in school andengineering majors. Data collection followed a three-interview sequence and included questionsabout participants’ background, their team project, and their reflections on the teaming experi-ence, respectively. In this paper, we present our initial exploration of

This paper follows these prior examples bypresenting advice for future or new faculty, especially those considering a tenure-trackappointment at an institution where they will be evaluated based on their research.This paper shares the authors’ collective experiential wisdom for what we consider to be some ofthe hidden curriculum of establishing a research presence as a pre-tenure faculty member. In sodoing, we extend the concept that students are tacitly informed about what is valuable in a givencontext10,11 to future and early career faculty. Despite

After thepreliminary coding, a second-pass axial coding was conducted on the Excel sheet to identifycommon themes related to the control/treatment group and the decision to stay/leave. Theseemergent codes were discussed with the second author to refine the claims made from the dataand for coding consensus.The authors of this paper have varied experiences with engineering and as members of thegroups we interviewed. The research team of faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students,and undergraduate students included researchers from higher education and engineeringeducation. Three of the

This issue was further compoundedby general public apprehension towards participating in in-person activities, which limited thediversity and number of participants, potentially affecting the representativeness andgeneralizability of our findings. In addition, students at some technical colleges in SouthCarolina received free tuition for their studies, decreasing their motivation to seek scholarships.Effects of Project Personnel TurnoverThe research project also faced significant turnover in personnel, primarily with the faculty andadministrators on the project. There is now only one member of the original proposal team, aseveryone from the original team has left the institution. The loss of key team members at variousproject stages led

Througha mixed-methods design, our intent is to understand if students perceive that their skills changeover the semester, and to which course elements they attribute these changes.We explore the following research questions: 1. Do participants’ critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity/problem solving change from pre- to post-semester in an engineering design capstone course? 2. Do participants’ self-ratings and reflections throughout the semester align with any quantitative changes resulting from question 1? 3. How do students perceive their growth in communication
