experiences of graduate students in a blended interviewing experienceAbstractSocialization in graduate school is critical to personal and professional success, and encompassesboth the development as a researcher and as a member of the field. This paper discusses theexperiences of 28 graduate students through their participation in an engineering educationresearch project. The blended experience included online training workshops, qualitativeresearch tasks, and culminated in a final meeting at the 2014 ASEE annual conference inIndianapolis. The graduate student participants reflected on their participation in an onlinesurvey, which was coded for individual descriptions of their experiences.The results are presented as four

strategic plans were developed to serve as the starting point for career preparationsince many graduate students do not feel sufficiently prepared, especially for careers outside ofacademia [1]. The graduate students were encouraged to think about where they sought to beemployed upon graduation and to be mindful that more than a doctoral degree would be requiredto obtain employment. Guided conversation allowed them to think of the yearly activities theyshould consider undertaking. The strategic planning also extended to the broader vision of theresearch group.

Recruitinggraduate students to partner with faculty on research is an essential part of developing newleaders in the field and maintaining a high quality BME PhD program. Excellent students notonly assist with current faculty projects, but are also producers of their own innovative research,which they carry with them into their careers post-graduation.

This work contributesto the limited number of studies on engineering doctoral students’ identity, and may haveimplications for persistence and representation amongst engineering doctoral students.Introduction Doctoral students develop multiple role identities as they enter the community of practiceof academia through their graduate school experience [2]. Identity is the “kind of person” one is,derived from one’s performance in social contexts, rather than from one’s internal state [6]. Arole identity, specifically, is how an individual relates to the characteristics and expectationsassociated with a role or position they are enacting [7]–[9]. For example, how an

well [laughter].” Other challenges encountered by mentors included: the mentor did not know much aboutthe student’s project, differential goals between the mentor and student, different preferences forwork time (early vs late in the day), communication, and having enough of a “heads-up” aboutgetting an REU student. This last challenge may be a factor of lack of communication betweenthe mentor and the supervising faculty member, as all faculty members were provided withinformation about their REU student prior to the start of the program.Discussion The purpose of the current study was two-fold: 1) to explore the ways in which graduatestudent mentors approach mentoring REU students; and 2) to study the impact of the

students in these results shared that there was an extreme difference inwhat they expected of their graduate endeavors and what they actually experienced, whichtranslated into them feeling alone and exiled [13]. Isolation or exclusion is one of the primefactors for a decrease in retention of URM students [19]. Others acknowledged the impact thatthese issues had on their ability to function as a normal member of STEM society. Thealienation from faculty and peers often resulted in a lack of confidence and comfort withcommunicating in order to gain understanding, attend meetings, request help, or even participate[19][12]. Due to a lack of STEM faculty and peers that represent similar life narratives andcultural norms [18], many minoritized students

first cohort of doctoral students participating in thepilot program.Training ModelTraining in professional or “soft” skills, although not new in graduate education, is commonlydone on an ad hoc basis, as a ‘bolt on’ to a student’s program of study. Further, professional skillstraining is often targeted towards career placement and generally offered to students who areadvanced in their graduate studies. While there has no doubt been some success in following thisimplicit approach, we sought to explore how a more explicit approach might better serve STEMgraduate students.The innovative model (see Figure 2) piloted through the GS LEAD program challenges thatparadigm by positioning critical professional skills development [15], [13], [5] at the

engineering doctoral program to develop at a record pace.Since its inception, the program has grown and prospered. Current enrollment is approximately30 PhD students with two to three students graduating per year. The research productivity of thefaculty members has grown over time along with their connections to local industry. One of thechallenges in being the first doctoral program in the College of Engineering is that the otherdepartments were not as capable of supporting the same level of research and some of theadministrative processes in the university needed to be revised and expanded to support doctoralresearch. For example, an ECE doctoral program will often leverage faculty members andresearch in Physics and Computer Science. At the start

choose one graduate program overanother remains largely unexplored. Kallio (1995) identified factors for choosing a graduateprogram that appear similar to the criteria for selecting an undergraduate program – “academicreputation of the program, program quality and size, price/cost, financial aid, geographiclocation, contact with faculty, and a student’s individual characteristics such as academic abilityand achievement” [8]. Kallio also noted that graduate students differ from undergraduates in thatspouses, family and work considerations more heavily influence their graduate program choices. In the same research, Kallio asked graduate enrollees in the University of Michigan theirmotivations for choosing the school in a survey exploring 31

Therefore, universities implement multiple activities to recruit diversestudents for post-baccalaureate studies to their institutions. Some of the recruitment activitiesinclude offering informational meetings, campus tours, career fairs, summer research programs,and assistantships3 to prospective students.Poock3, who surveyed members of the National Association of Graduate AdmissionsProfessionals (NAGAP), found that NAGAP members “perceived only one of the twenty fiverecruitment

tensionswithin the development of an engineering identity9. Engineering and technical communicationsresearchers also argue that a part of this success is that within such verbal-based activities,students are practicing the authentic engineering discourse needed to consider oneself “anengineer” 10.At the graduate level, some level of professional or academic identity has been achieved throughbachelor’s level education. However, the expectations for disciplinary socialization are muchstronger within the apprenticeship model of graduate education in the U.S. As graduate studentswork under a particular member of an academic discipline, they are able to participate fully inthe activities, the expertise, and the communication patterns of the discipline11,12

important factor in a potential faculty member’s decision to join.Additionally, PhD students play a vital role in mentorship of undergraduate students, serving asteaching assistants in courses and as mentors in the laboratory. Graduate students can beparticularly influential role models for undergraduates considering research careers. Finally,graduate students that go on to successful careers in a variety of sectors plays a crucial part inexpanding the reputation of the School. Their success is a direct reflection of the laboratoriesand faculty that mentored them.Just as important as the number of graduate students is the diversity of the student body.

addressing writing issues of students. In addition, Jenkins (1993) found thatgraduate faculty members would re-write anywhere from 11-25% of their students’ theses. Thus,it appears that advisors tend to take on more an role of copy editor than that of writing mentor.The strategies listed above are not necessarily sustainable for graduate faculty nor supportive tostudents who are learning to create an academic and professional “writing persona” (Becker,1986) as well as taking on a “authorial voice” (Hyland, 2002).Engineering-Based Graduate Writing CentersOne writing support initiative that has been undertaken in Colleges of Engineering has been thedevelopment of college-specific writing centers, with the few institutions that have

These themes were clustered based ondifferent aspects of returners’ identity, including their identity as scholars, as individual students,as members of the student community, and as whole people. Themes also emerged that describedthe transition in identity that took place as returners made and executed the decision to return toschool2. Further analysis showed that Expectancy Value Theory (EVT) was a suitable frameworkfor interpretation of the data4. This interpretation yielded several interesting findings.

While at Towson University, he also cultivated good friendships with his advisors and now mentors: Dr. Rajeswari M. Kolagani and Dr. David Schaefer. His research led to his first publication a few years later. Forced by destiny, he ended up at Norfolk State University where he is now pursuing a PhD degree in Material Science focusing on optical characterization of materials for energy harvesting. Through the IGERT fellowship, he is pursuing his ultimate goal of becoming a professor and intends to carry on research in optical materials. - See more at: https://www.asee.org/public/person#sthash.lcrL5s3P.dpufMr. IRVING
