language.Given the diversity within this field, engineering education students’ experiences in this journeycan be very different from one another during their doctoral years. Like any other diversesettings, engineering education students may have needs in common or completely differentwhich required different ways of support.In this study, we are a group of engineering education students and alumni who speak English asour second language (ESL). Using co-operative inquiry, we aimed to reflect on our doctoraljourney in engineering education and highlight the challenges we went through and ways wewere able to overcome them. We are taking the positionality of researcher to participant toexamine our experiences. The challenges are mostly centered over

institution.Ten students earned their bachelors at UC Davis.MethodsThis paper focuses on the written reflective assignments collected in the first two years of thePEGS21 program.Qualitative analysis of written reflectionsStudying language provides insights into what a speaker might be thinking, and to discover theways that language represents and constitutes realities (Johnston, 2004). Specifically, study oflanguage-in-use provides insight into language-users’ self-perception (Rymes, 1995). For thisstudy, it was posited that the language participants used in their reflections would provide insightsinto their first-year graduate experience, particularly their self-efficacy, a term used to describeone’s sense of competence in being able to achieve (Bandura

andbusy professionals targeted by the D.Tech. Beyond just a constructivist approach, the designteam was guided in particular by the valuable insights in the previously cited How PeopleLearn II. We were informed by Chp. 4 Processes that Support Learning which led to ourengaging candidates in collaborative knowledge building (e.g., by cohort construction of afield’s/process’ knowledge base using Wiki technology). We also incorporated self-regulation of learning as required by our mix of synchronous and asynchronous learningactivities. Then, to insure critical reflection, we installed frequent opportunities for self-assessment (of the quality of their information sources and subsequent analyses of theextracted material; of their writing and

Another student suggested have funding fordemonstration or activity supplies. The feedback from researcher participants was very positiveand reflected a high level of commitment and interest in continuing the program.Teacher Feedback All ten of the participating teachers responded, “Yes, definitely!” to the question, “Wouldyou be interested in participating in Grad Student STEM Share again?” The teachers alsounanimously selected “Excellent” to describe the following components of the program.
