graduate programs still operate within primarily disciplinary-based organizational systems that impact scholars’ abilities to engage in interdisciplinary work at the expense of meeting disciplinary expectations[4], [5], [10], [19], [32],[33], [34]. Moreover, students graduating from interdisciplinary programs still struggle to develop positive senses of identity, belonging, and motivation in interdisciplinary research communities– all of which are necessary for pursuing interdisciplinary work as early-career academics[7],[35], [36]. The challenge is particularly acute for graduate students in engineering and STEM (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. These areas of study

With its broad popularity amongchildren and teenagers, robotics serves as a fertile ground for cultivating futureprofessionals in science and engineering. Introducing structured roboticseducation to young learners at an early age can attract highly promising studentsto STEM fields. However, formal robotics education typically begins in college,by which time many students have already chosen their majors. To bridge thisgap, robotic competitions have emerged as crucial incubators for nurturing futurescientists and engineers.This study
