Kranov (2009) argues, this type of writing center support produces anenvironment where “students learn through interaction with faculty and peers to becomemembers of their disciplinary communities” that “mimics the adult learning communities thatthey are most likely to encounter after finishing their degrees and beginning their professionallives, thus fostering life-long learning skills” (Kranov, 2009).Scientific Writing Learning CommunitiesThe creation of “scientific writing learning communities” has been another pedagogical modelthat has been shown to be highly popular in addressing doctoral level academic and professionalwriting within engineering. Researchers and practitioners have recently argued that currentprogram designs aimed at

Engineering Education, 2021 Minority Student Experiences in Engineering Graduate Programs: Socialization and Impact on Career TrajectoriesAbstractThis paper examines the academic and social interactions during graduate engineering programenrollment among racially underrepresented doctoral and master’s students and how thoseinteractions shape their career goals. Using socialization theory, this study explored dailyinteractions of students with faculty and peers, overall perceptions of fit, knowledge about thegraduate school process, and opportunities for mentoring provided in the institution as well asthrough outside engagement during industry internships. The findings presented in this paperbuild upon an earlier study conducted

Pennsylvania StateUniversity. In its eighth year at the time of this writing, the online MSME program hasexperienced significant growth and over the last five years of the online MSME program hasgone from a total of ~40 students in the program to 130 students. Nearly 50 students havingearned their master’s of science degrees via the online program. This growth is in part due toexplicit theory-driven attention to pedagogy, recruitment, mentoring, and facilitated guidance.Similar to our resident students, our online students have faculty research advisors and conductmasters-level research projects. This research element makes our online MSME program unique.While there is increasingly more written about the modest growth in online engineeringeducation

new people and some people I know from before and I think that they may judge me, I do have the fear of not being able to convey my message properly.” “Once, a peer told me that they so much appreciate international students because they work very hard and they can imagine how hard writing would be for them if they had to write in a different language. I believe knowing about that significantly helped me with my self-confidence. Also, my advisor has always been open about acknowledging my struggles and has normalized it for me that I can make a mistake and it’s fine. Acknowledging my hard work has allowed me to be open up about my struggles and not be ashamed of who I am as a scholar. I

/ethnic minorities (URMs; Black/Hispanic/NativeAmerican), 33.2% reported their household experienced a loss of income during the COVID-19pandemic, 12.0% were students with disabilities, 36.4% were international students, and 38.7%were doctoral students.Measures The survey collected an array of measures on student’s e-mentoring experiences duringthe pandemic. In the mentoring section of the survey, students answered the questions inreference to the primary mentor with whom they learn/work most closely with on campus.Students indicated who their primary mentor was from the following options: academic advisoror thesis/dissertation chair, faculty member, staff member, peer (senior graduate student), orother.

expanded their offerings to international graduate stu-dents beyond residential studies. Advances in teaching and learning technology have played a keyrole in enabling remote instruction to these students. In particular, synchronous instruction andengagement with peers within a cohort have been shown to improve the educational experienceand lead to high persistence rates.It has previously been reported that instructional technology can be used to teach a full master’sdegree program in electrical and computer engineering to international graduate students in a syn-chronous fashion. To increase engagement, students study in the program as cohorts and collab-orate in the classroom and in completing a significant engineering project. This technology

complex systems has the potential to originate a transdisciplinarytheory and to merge chemistry with other disciplines. In addition, Gentili concluded thatinterdisciplinary courses on complex systems can help new generations facing 21st centurychallenges to mold interdisciplinary mindsets with enhanced aptitudes to observe, analyze, judgeand summarize.The importance of the aforementioned aptitudes has also been recognized by Matthews et al.,who identified the Paul-Elder model of critical thinking as the ideal pedagogical framework incoursework designed to help graduate students comprehend and act on the literature, as well asdevelop independence of thought, writing skills, and speaking skills. Indeed, these authors havedescribed coursework
