research groups [7]. The interactions of thesetwo factors (e.g., advisors and peers) play a crucial role in a student's performance in researchenvironments [7]. 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]. In particular, large-sized groups appeared to be run more like smallbusinesses (i.e

Her research interests are at the intersection of race and learning in adult education, DesiCrit (theorizing the racialized experiences of South Asian Americans using Critical Race Theory), Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a framework to analyze learning, and qualitative research. She is currently working on the following research projects: Environmental racism, Racialized experience of South Asian Americans, and Mothering during the pandemic. Her selected publications include ”Learning to teach about race: The racialized experience of a South Asian American feminist educator” in Adult

lacks proper internal oversight. 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

Research Groups. With the firstmentorship seminar, the goal was to introduce the College of Engineering Mentoring Fellows,the purpose behind the Mentorship Seminar Series, explain how important the state of graduatestudent-faculty member relationships can be, give a break-down of mentor and mentee roles andresponsibilities, introduce the IDP as a tool for mentorship and teach graduate students howcreate their own IDP. The second seminar aimed to initiate the discussion about poor mentorshiprelationships, what it might look like, for example in a laboratory space, what factors cancontribute to inefficient mentoring, and educate attendees on how to improve their reactionstowards any mentoring problem that may arise to avoid creating further

students do perform work and provide quantifiableeconomic value universities through research and teaching that are critical to the business modelof universities and essential to the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledgeallows us to begin to recontextualize doctoral engineering students as workers. Whenrecontextualized as workers, many frameworks and theories can be used to explain theexperiences of doctoral engineering students and perhaps why attrition is such an issue. Onepromising framework is the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) [26]. Central to the PWT isthe concept of decent work. The PWT claims that in order to have access to well-being in anaffluent western context, decent work is necessary. Decent work is defined within

2014 report indicate thatneurodiverse individuals make up only around 3% of science and engineering doctoral degreerecipients [10].Graduate students face a unique set of challenges when compared to undergraduate students,with faculty advisors playing a large role in student success. Several studies have noted specificchallenges related to advisors, including work-life balance, which may be impacted by facultyexpectations, and hierarchical faculty-student relationships [11]-[13]. Satterfield et al.’s [14]literature review focused on the experiences of graduate students during their studies andexplored how individual factors (the influence of the student’s advisor), programmatic factors(isolation and teaching assistantships), and external
