engineering are part of a research group, typicallya team of peers working under the supervision of the same faculty member. These groups arecentered around a specific research focus and provide space for collaborative learning. They caninfluence how students approach their research, acquire knowledge, develop skills, and feelabout being part of a broader academic or professional community [8].Despite their importance, the role of research groups on a graduate student’s experience has notbeen studied as extensively as the role of the supervisor. Yet, existing research highlights theirunique contributions. For example, Pyhältö et al. found that while supervisors tend to provideindividual mentorship, research groups foster teamwork and intellectual

seen that this conflict could lead to the application of methods in ways that activelyworked against company interests. One example of this was seen in an application of TechnologyReadiness Levels (TRL) [19] for product development. I think the downside of it had been, it created a metric, right, for people. Everyone would write in their performance review, “Oh, I'll get from TRL whatever to whatever," and then I think that led to kind of falsely progressing things to the next level. But then also, it created a little bit of a dysfunctional motivation in that actually, in the front end, sometimes you shouldn't progress it, sometimes you should kill it. Right?

beliefs that children must be fully proficient in Englishbefore they can participate in intellectually challenging STEM activities and learning. As aresult, students classified as emergent bilinguals are often placed in tracks with low-level contentand low expectations [2], [3], [4], [5]. This leads to fewer opportunities to participate in math,science, or engineering lessons, thus exacerbating the inequities between multilingual studentsand their monolingual English peers [6], [7]. This deficit mindset is detrimental to the learningopportunities of these students.
