Fellow role(s) interested them and why. All of the candidates wereinterviewed and, based on those conversations, we decided to add two more Fellowship roles: The EnSURE Fellow would help organize the Engineering Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (EnSURE) program The Recruiting Fellow would assist in identifying and connecting with prospective graduate students through on- and off-campus recruiting activitiesIn addition to these six Engineering Graduate Leadership fellows, we decided to partner with theGraduate School’s Leadership Fellows program to co-sponsor two additional roles: a GraduateStudent Life and Wellness Fellow, focusing specifically on the needs of Engineering graduatestudents, and a Women in STEM

STAGE 1: Identifying the research question(s) The research question was formed in this stage that guided our scoping review study: What is the current landscape of literature on the financial well-being of engineering graduate students at master’s degree level, with a focus on financial anxiety and financial stress related to student loans? Based on this research question, we defined our Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework, which further guided the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our study. We defined the precise terms structured within this framework. Table 2 outlines the PCC framework that we used to define our concept lines

, students, workers, or something in between? Though Ipersonally believe that doctoral engineering students exist outside of this binary discussionbecause of their important societal role in contributing to knowledge, within the binary they docontribute economically and do work that they are not sufficiently compensated for. They dowork, plain and simple.I am not alone in this line of thinking. Legally, the classification of graduate students asemployees has gone back and forth since the 1990’s. At private institutions, this dispute fallsunder the National Labor Relations Act. Specifically, the decision as to whether or not graduatestudents at private institutions are employees falls under the National Labor Relations Boardwhich is a board made up

[3],engineering graduate students reported a relatively lower sense of belonging within theiracademic department compared to students in other disciplines. O’Meara et al.’s [4] research onSTEM students’ sense of belonging echoed this claim, highlighting that there are fewerfacilitators (e.g., a critical mass of women, micro affirmations) for creating an inclusiveenvironment in STEM graduate programs compared to those in non-STEM disciplines.
