children, and people withdisabilities, are more likely than their traditional graduate student counterparts to report climate-related issues [4]. While some studies of university or campus-level climate for students haveincluded doctoral students in general, few studies disaggregate findings by discipline or bydemographic categories beyond gender identity and race/ethnicity. In engineering, Riley, Slaton,and Pawley’s [5] observed that the engineering education research community tends to take upissues of diversity focused on “women and [racial and ethnic] minorities while queerness, class,nationality, disability, age, and other forms of difference are for the most part not seen asrequiring address”.

graduate students totrain as interdisciplinary thinkers and produce innovative interdisciplinary research. This papermay also be a guide to current and future NRT programs to help them pursue elements of thetraineeship that are most effective.IntroductionAcademic departments often work in silos, thus giving fewer opportunities for graduate studentsand faculty from different departments to interact and for graduate students to gain the skillsneeded to do interdisciplinary research. Interdisciplinary research and collaboration have severalbenefits such as addressing complex research questions and social problems and having a moreproductive team [1] [2]. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded interdisciplinarytraining at the graduate

Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, 01854 Abstract Balance problems affect more than eight million adults, and the percentage of balance problems increases with age. Globally, the population is aging, making balance problems a relevant topic of investigation. Balance impairments are the primary cause of falls, which result in debilitating injuries, especially for the elderly population. There is a significant opportunity for students in engineering and other disciplines to explore and contribute to research and education in this area. In this work, a group of graduate students from

GrantOpportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) established in 1995 [6], and Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) [7]. In spite of these programs running fordecades, the interaction between universities and companies was not progressing fast enough.Therefore, a few years ago NSF’s Directorates for Education and Human Resources; Engineering;and Computer and Information Science and Engineering introduced ‘Non-Academic ResearchInternships for Graduate Students (INTERN)’. Even the critics of Stokes’ model have recognizedthat ‘working with industry can provide tremendous benefits and generate many new questions offundamental importance’ [5].A key aspect that is absent in these various analyses of research has been the education

programs in the design phase aswell as those currently being delivered.IntroductionDoctoral degrees lead the hierarchy of higher education qualifications, and within the ranks ofdoctoral education, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) generally reigns supreme [1]. As a recent 1addition to the compendium of research doctoral disciplines, Engineering Education (Eng Ed)programs aim to prepare students to independently conduct rigorous research on engineeringcurriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and faculty development” among other relevant topics [2],[3], [4]. It is expected that based on their doctoral education and training, graduates will not onlyserve as researchers but will also perform leadership functions
