to tackle complex engineering education problems across the learner life span. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Development of a Diagnostic Tool to Identify Graduate Students' Self- Determined CommunicationAbstractEffective communication is essential for the professional development and preparation ofgraduate engineering students, yet existing instruments do not adequately define and assess howstudents develop autonomy, competence, and relatedness in academic discourse. Grounded inSelf-Determination Theory (SDT), this study presents the Communication & Facilitation ofLearning in Oral & Written Scholarship (COMM-FLOWS) diagnostic tool, a novel

projects including conference papers, journal articles, thesisproposals, and research applications. Due to our university’s focus, the participants were allstudying STEM-related fields, with some of our highest attendance over the past five yearscoming from the departments of Chemical & Biological Engineering, Chemistry, Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering,and Physics. Although there is a graduate program in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciencesdepartment, no graduate students from that program ever attended, making our results unique inrelation to other studies. Attendance was kept, so if students didn’t attend a specific day, theyweren’t sent the daily reflection survey

], and genre analysis [9] to establish a communication-focusedcommunity of practice [10]-[11] in an EER PhD program at a large, mid-western university. Bydocumenting this project in its pilot phase and the role of our unique expertise in itsdevelopment, we hope to achieve two goals: 1.) to encourage other EER programs to address andexplore the specific challenges and needs of students transitioning from engineering technicaldomain undergraduate programs to EER graduate programs; 2.) to demonstrate how EERprograms can leverage expertise of faculty from writing studies and technical communication todevelop evidence-based practices that support students’ transition.IntroductionGraduate programs within engineering education aim to help students

Director of Assessment and Research team at the Siebel Center for Design (SCD) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I work with a group of wonderful and talented people at SCD’s Assessment and Research Laboratory to conduct research that informs and evaluates our practice of teaching and learning human-centered design in formal and informal learning environments. My Research focuses on studying students’ collaborative problem solving processes and the role of the teacher in facilitating these processes in STEM classrooms. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025Integrating Service-Learning and the Entrepreneurial Mindset in aTeaching and Leadership Course for Graduate
