emphasis within the engineering education community (see Table 1). Of 34 total paperswith interventions for communication education, the vast majority tried to incorporate communi-cation principles into students’ coursework, either through dedicated courses or integration intotechnical courses. The same survey indicates that the majority effort has focused on undergraduateeducation, with only six total interventions targeting graduate students.Particularly conspicuous is the absence of writing center research at ASEE and FIE for the pastthree years. This absence is consistent with the observation that writing center studies have re-ceived relatively little attention outside the Writing Center Journal (WCJ), even in written compo-sition studies let

experiences with becoming an engineering education researcher (Adams et. al, 2006;Gardner & Willey, 2016; Siddiqui, Allendoerfer, Adams, & Williams, 2016) have suggested: (1)a shared domain such as engineering education be supported through sharing personalexperiences by those in the field, (2) community building is supported through collaboration withothers with similar and different background and experiences, and (3) sharing stories reveals thetrue nature of professional work. An important distinction is that these studies focus onresearchers and educators while our study focuses on doctoral students. Moreover, traditionalstudies take a researcher/participant approach that distinguishes between researchers andparticipants. Our

Her research focuses on strategies for design innovations through divergent and convergent thinking as well as through deep needs and community assessments using design ethnography, and translating those strategies to design tools and education. She teaches design and en- trepreneurship courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on front-end design processes.Ms. Erika Mosyjowski, University of Michigan Erika Mosyjowski is a PhD student in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan.
