practicality,innovation, and problem solving. engineering PhD students typically progress frommastery of basic courses and laboratory skills to deeper involvement in specificprojects or research. This process involves various factors, such as mentoring,laboratory culture, teamwork, and even interaction with industry. Relevant studieshave shown that environmental factors play a significant role in the development ofprofessional identity among doctoral students.[16-18] Compared to other disciplines,engineering Ph.D. students may place more emphasis on practical applications andindustrial collaborations, which may also be part of their professional identity. Theprofessional identity of engineering students is the driving force that keeps themlearning and

Graduate students are often engaged in faculty-led laboratories (or research groups) andcollaborative teams as students develop both their teaching and research skills [7, 16, 17].Depending on the size of the research group, faculty advisors' roles and interactions might vary(e.g., large-size, mid-size, or sub-size) [7]. Crede and Borrego found that there were substantialdifferences in the perceived roles and interactions between faculty and graduate students acrossdifferent sized labs [7].

A lack ofemphasis on selecting PIs who are well-equipped to lead supportive and diverse laboratories cou-pled with a lack of diversity in the researcher and PI populations frequently leads to an unhealthywork environment that Black PhD students have the burden of navigating throughout their entiredoctoral program. We hope that sharing our experiences will serve as a reference point in the refor-mation of the graduate engineering education system. By challenging biases and fostering a moreinclusive academic space, we aim to see an improvement in the graduation rates of Black doctoralcandidates.Introduction Academic spaces are experiencing an influx of diverse students feeling empowered to pur-sue higher

This is ofcritical importance because one of the key factors or influences that prevents students fromcompleting graduate degrees is the shortfall of financial packages provided. This often leavesstudents with an outstanding bill and requires them to seek additional employment, often awayfrom their laboratory or campus in general. Such jobs can in fact reduce the critical time spentworking on research or studying. To address this problem, the program will offer a stipend andfunding applied
