the United States prepares the next generation of highly skilled workerswhile creating new knowledge vital to US competiveness in a global knowledge-basedeconomy8. The technological innovation of the US is quickly eroding unless current trends arereversed9. The percentage of American students pursuing Ph.D.s in engineering has declinedfrom 70% in 1985 to 55% in 200510 . Yet, only 64% of students who begin engineering doctoralprograms complete their degrees within a ten year period according to the Council of GraduateSchools11. Research shows that doctoral students leave these programs because it was a “wrongfit” suggesting that incoming doctoral students may have misconceptions about the Ph.D.programs13.2.

Trade: Using Digital Portfolios and Reflective Practices to Develop Balanced Graduate Student Professional IdentitiesAbstract Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play important instructional roles in undergraduatescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. However, currentpractices within graduate education do not reflect the importance of this teaching role. Thismissing support for developing professional identities that include teaching roles within graduatestudents is a driving factor for this paper. To this effect, we review recent literature related tograduate student development, provide background on ePortfolios, and suggest tips for utilizingePortfolios as a reflective space for

We use pseudonyms and have avoided use of too much identifying information toprotect the confidentiality of the students.

In recent discussions of this concern, ithas been identified that “…the issue is not simply a need for more educational innovations. Theissue is a need for more educational innovations that have a significant impact on studentlearning and performance, whether it is through widespread and efficient implementation ofproven practices or scholarly advancements in ideas, methods, or technologies (p. 5).6 ” Effortstowards this end have included the development of frameworks and strategies to make the linkbetween knowledge generated in the learning sciences to the practical delivery of education moreexplicit and implementable5,9,10

Students need an understanding of STEMand the reasons to pursue STEM careers; over 3,000 students have been exposed to STEMlessons in the past three years with Project STEP.
