However,in many engineering disciplines, individuals have more earning potential and career trajectoryoptions with a master’s degree. In this paper, we identify several categories of barriers and lessonslearned to launching an S-STEM focused on graduate students at a large R1 public institution thatmay be useful to other such programs. These include discussions on recruitment of this specializedpopulation of students into graduate school, especially those from other institutions, can bedifficult because i) there are structural and legal barriers to accessing financial information aboutstudents to identify low-income students and ii) smaller institutions may not have the

have been calls to develop and deploy graduate STEM education modelsthat prepare students for careers outside academia. Few innovations have emerged to meet students attheir current skill and preparation levels when entering their graduate studies while also consideringstudents' individual desired career paths. The U.S.'s current approach to graduate STEM education doesnot emphasize preparing students with professional skills and experience outside the lab. Further,students from differing socioeconomic and underserved backgrounds are often not adequatelysupported.

Case learners prepare for the case by reading and analyzing it 2. Optionally - students can perform a deeper preparation by having a priori small group discussions 3. An in-class discussion is done for the case 4. An end-of-class summary is provided by the facilitatorAs there are many books on the case method, our approach uses ideas from Rosenthal andBrown’s book for examples of pedagogically strong cases [10], and Barnes, Christensen, andHansen’s book [11] on how to teach cases (readers should note that this book is not only good forlearning about the case method, but

; for example, Chen et. al. states that “[s]tudents from all backgrounds may find theexperience [of an unexpectedly poor academic performance] threatening to their competence, butstudents from minority groups must also contend with anxiety that this performance ‘confirms’negative academic stereotypes attributed to their group memberships”[10].Often, these biases and stereotypes reflect an automatic judgment without an awareness ofindividuals’ specific abilities or experiences [11] [12]. Thus, the format of assessment, rather thanthe rigor, quality, or intended learning can have undue effect on educational outcomes.

Thishas caused a dramatic change in the composition of Ph.D. enrollments in the U.S.The importance of cultural understanding in advising international students cannot be overstated,and several studies have highlighted this fact. For instance, Vakkai et al.'s research has shownthat international students' cultural backgrounds and values cannot be ignored, and havingadvisors who are more attuned to these aspects can significantly impact an individual's academicsuccess [6].

Our research paper examines the role of climate (e.g., interactions with others) in the skilldevelopment of engineering and physical science doctoral students. Skill development ingraduate school often occurs related to students’ primary funding mechanism, in which theymight interact with a research group or teaching team. Advisors also play a pivotal role in theengineering doctoral student experience; however, less is known about how positive mentoringinfluences skill development for engineering doctoral students. We investigated the followingresearch questions: 1) How, if at all, do interactions with advisor(s), faculty, and peers predict skill development (associated with primary funding mechanism) for engineering and physical

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
