world to make new things.”Methods Focus Group Protocol. We developed a semi-structured focus group protocol to gain insightsinto the content, character, and complications associated with efforts to develop Research EngineerIdentity (REI) among graduate students in general and students from underrepresented groups inparticular. Before the focus groups began, we facilitated a “twenty statements test” to elicit the salience ofself-meanings associated with being a research engineer. Participants were asked to write down the firsttwenty things that came to mind in response to the following question: “As an engineer that conductsresearch, I am someone who…”. Next, we briefly informed participants about the overall goal of the study

focuses on the nature of engineering; engineering habits of mind, how engineering knowledge is created and shared and how it is learned especially outside the classroom. Over the past 30 years, he has conducted field research on the practice of engineering design, new product development and innovation in variety of industries, in large and small firms with an emphasis on design thinking, most recently in relation to sustainability. He also studies engineering education as a complex system, and the design and evaluation of next generation learning environments. This research is intrinsically multidisciplinary and draws on methodologies from the humanities, social and behavioral sciences and involves collaboration with

literature points to aspects of the student’s social environment, such as feelings ofconnectedness, a sense of belonging, social self-efficacy, and social support, influencingstudents’ reported mental health measures in addition to lasting academic impacts. It is stillunclear, however, to the extent which of these concepts are present in current surveys used toassess graduate student mental health. The research question guiding this study is, Whatunderlying factors are important when looking at the mental health of science, engineering, andmathematics graduate students?This study will look specifically at the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), conducted by the HealthyMinds Network (HMN): Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health group, to tryand
