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

are they and why do they return?I. IntroductionFuture economic development and security in our knowledge-driven global community relies onengineers in industry, academia, and government who have the technical skill, knowledge,vision, and expertise to identify and solve real-world problems and connect scientific knowledgeand theory to technological advances1. These qualities are learned and developed througheducation and real-world professional experiences and consist of a strong theoretical backgroundas well as rigorous research and problem solving skills. Engineering students who have spenttime working as engineering practitioners prior to pursuing a PhD, a group we refer to asreturners, can bring this combination of experiences and

) program has a focus on increasing the numbers of underrepresented minorities (URM) who will get STEM PhDs and go on to become professors and enhance the nation’s competitiveness.1 By examining the roles that graduate student AGEP participants from disciplines other than science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) play in engineering education in general, and to become engineering education faculty, researchers and advocates in particular, it is imperative to know and understand the motives which drive this phenomena. Historically serving students within STEM fields, the AGEP for our state, PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP, has taken the initiative to broaden its reach to include participants from various disciplines that
