[1,9] AlthoughSTEM education research has flourished, there has yet to be equal activity in the propagation of theseinnovations, as the National Research Council (NRC) highlighted. [10] The NRC called for the propagationof engineering education research into practice, including adopting evidence-based practices. Further, theneed for more successful propagation has also been highlighted by an ASEE report [11] that included anappeal to funding agencies to use resources to propagate better efforts that have proven successful.Although educational innovations have been produced over the past few decades, Rogers highlights aneed for knowledge of how to implement the innovation correctly and a lack of underlying

encouraged her tojournal her graduate school experiences. This suggestion was further reinforced when her seniorlab mate sent a series of reflective prompts to help guide her journaling. Soon after, the call forpapers for the ASEE 2024 conference emerged. Inspired by a previous lab mate's research work inthe lab focused on autoethnography, Mary decided to participate in the conference by sharing partsof her journey given the call to support and retain Black graduate students in engineering.To decide on what area of her experience she would share using autoethnography, Mary siftedthrough her journals and secondary archives, such as emails, WhatsApp messages, and pictures.This process led her to formulate research questions focusing on her challenges

interactions with peers and faculty withinthe first 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months) of graduate school reduced the impact of stress,both physically and psychologically, for the next 6 months [7]. Overall, we know that at least40% of all doctoral students do not complete their programs, and much of this attrition could beprevented and is not reflective of student capability [8].Simultaneously, doctoral degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) continue to be disproportionately awarded to white students. In the 2019-20 academicyear, 71.3% of all STEM doctoral degrees awarded to U.S. citizens and permanent residentswere awarded to white students, even though the U.S. population is approximately 59.3% white.Only 4.3

graduates and institutional support at their post-graduation employer (typically auniversity or academic institution) are key to increasing the representation of minorities inSTEM faculty roles [4]. To increase the number of doctoral degrees earned, there must be anincrease in the number of Hispanic students entering graduate programs. According to theEngineering by the Numbers ASEE report, even though Hispanics represent 18.7% of the USpopulation, only 9.2% and 6.1% of master and doctoral degrees, respectively, are awarded toHispanic recipients [5]. Further, the numbers decrease again when faculty appointments areconsidered, where only 3.6% of faculty appointments in engineering are held by Hispanicprofessors.Convincingly, increasing Hispanic
