to communicate effectively. However, there arefewer centers catering specifically to the needs of engineering students [12] and resources areoften allocated to undergraduate writing instruction [7]. More importantly, the tutoring can bevery different between multilingual writers and English-native writers [13]. Silva [14] foundthat multilingual writers’ writing processes (planning, reviewing) and products (fluency,quality) were distinctive from their English-native peers. Moreover, for graduate studentswho need discipline-specific support, having a tutor with limited academic writing experiencein that field will likely face resistance for giving discipline-inappropriate advice [15]. As aresult of doubt in tutors’ domain-specific knowledge
not to produce comprehensive or exhaustive cataloging of climatesthat exist in engineering doctoral education, the selection of seven focused climates is bestunderstood as a strength rather than a limitation.As items were not grouped to indicate Psychological safety climate, we planned to revise theitems and add new items for the second round of data collection. In addition, items presentingmulticollinearity, such as four items in Perceived cultural diversity, two items each in Diversityclimate, Mastery Climate, Performance climate, Authenticity climate, Organization support, andAffective commitment, will be revised to capture slightly different aspects of the designatedclimate and commitment constructs, while avoiding multicollinearity.Once
