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

time spenton research and publishing is more valuable to graduate students and faculty members isreinforced on an institutional level by leading to higher pay, promotions, and tenure whencompared to time spent on teaching or service [11].Graduate Student Teaching The majority of current literature on graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in engineeringfocuses on the logistics and structures of the courses taught [12-14] instead of the development ofthe students as teachers; one notable exception is Kajfez’s [15] dissertation work lookingspecifically at professional identity development of GTAs. Research on teaching also lagsbehind research on student learning; research on the actual teaching of engineering, as opposedto learning

Education, 2015 Recruitment Efficacy of a Summer Undergraduate Research Program: Impact on Graduate School Intent and SelectionIntroductionSuccessful recruitment of an inclusive student body is essential to enriching the quality ofgraduate programs1, 2. 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

during their graduate program. The findings ofthis work suggested several common themes within the experiences of returners and provided auseful starting point for a more broad-scale investigation. 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. First, it wasfound that the returners had a

been explored. For example, some researchersproposed using citation as a measurement, such as relative citation counts among universities 3and h-index 4 , to evaluate the research quality of graduate programs in a particular field. Barnett etal 5 proposed the use of faculty hiring networks as an indicator in the university program ranking.Lopes et al 6 proposed a social network analysis on university ranking based on the internalcollaborations among universities.We propose a methodology to generate rankings of university programs from what we call a“hiring graph”. The hiring graph is basically a directed social graph revealing the employmentrelationships of Ph.D.s among universities. The hiring graph consists of different universityprograms as
