, work-life balance and integration into the scientific communitywere cited as the two most common factors in driving them to leave. Issues related to relationshipswith the advisor, department, and the scientific community as a whole are mentioned as negativelyimpacting the students’ experiences in graduate school.While external factors may be at play, few studies have researched how students’ initialexpectations for graduate school impact their experiences. In a case study of two “questioners”(students who are seriously considering leaving their graduate programs) in engineering graduateprograms, the results showed that academic capability and advisor relationships were not majorfactors in each student’s decision to leave [14].

Finally, students created portfolios and individualdevelopment plans which would be expected to support their career development, but studentsreported that these requirements were more onerous than helpful. The D3EM program serves asan example of how impactful programs can be designed to encourage students to explore avariety of potential future career pathways, particularly beyond tenure-track faculty positions.Implications from the findings include the continued implementation of such programs andsustained efforts to change the conversation about PhD careers that reflect the job market andgraduate student interests.Introduction In the past decade, graduate engineering education has emerged as a research

Last, our data set studies 50 documents, and—althoughthis is a large corpus for deep qualitative research—it cannot be intended to be generalizable.However, we do feel that the findings from this work add insight into the ways in whichbeginning graduate students are socialized as miniature stewards of their academic disciplinesfrom early stages—even from undergraduate experiences, which has important implicationsin theory and practice for graduate programs in preventing attrition from graduate school.ResultsAcross the corpus of personal statements, being an engineer appeared to overlap with eachparticipant’s sense of professional identity so long as it represented

only 5 studies that used qualitative methods, one ofwhich used a case study approach to study student experiences in an extracurricular makerspace(O'Connell, 2015). This review also pointed out that while empirical research is focusing onstudent outcomes and curricular integration, many of the reports on academic makerspaces focuson the equipment and physical space of the makerspace itself (i.e., 18 out of 22 reports cited).While qualitative methods are being used as a methodology to study experiences withinmakerspaces, reports on systems and space are still happening.

Additionally, there is emerging evidence thatcourse variations that holistically target students with less preparation can support students indeveloping productive dispositions to mathematics [10]. Yet these previous studies which focuson national trends fail to capture the impact and implementation considerations of
