Graduate teaching assistants(GTAs) in engineering need to develop their TPACK so they can effectively fulfill their teachingresponsibilities and be better prepared for future teaching or industry careers, which usually entailscommunicating effectively with others and mentoring interns and other team members.

1980s, ‘convergence’ has become a familiar term in conversationson science and engineering policy. This was, of course, a result of multiple factors that includethe rise of ‘Big Science’ projects such as the Human Genome Project, the digital revolutionacross a range of scientific disciplines, and the growing awareness of the interconnected natureof scientific, environmental, and social challenges. While the idea of convergence offers a general framework for the generation andintegration of knowledge that needs to exist beyond disciplinary boundaries, the initial emphasiswas on the overlapping areas of technological research among nanotechnology, biotechnology,information technology, and cognitive science [8].

Program selection was restricted to Engineering Education PhD degree programs in theUS and it excluded programs with any integration of other disciplines and focus areas in the titlee.g., Science Technology Engineering Mathematics Education PhD programs. The focus onleaders, such as program directors and/or coordinators, resonates with perspectives of doctoraleducation leadership that Prewitt espoused [10]. Prewitt argued that unlike pre-doctoralqualifications, the design and delivery of PhD programs is shaped by a broad spectrum ofinstitutional and national leaders who control entry into PhD programs, doctoral training,publication outlets, career development, and

andresearch. However, despite existing programs that bridge university research and the real world,there is a lack of deep training of PhD students in the skill of creating value through their research.We propose a new scalable framework, Graduate Translational Engineering Research, that givesPhD students the opportunity to train deeply in the process of value creation by incorporating aninterdisciplinary PhD thesis committee and qualitative end-user study methods in the formulationof their PhD research proposal. The proposed framework involves PhD students conducting end-user studies early in their program to gain insights into the needs and challenges associated withthe knowledge or technology they are developing. The purpose of this study is to
