-classenvironment itself provides this opportunity, but in online formats, the instructional designshould be pre-structured to make it happen. Community building can be added to the syllabus aspart of a learning assignment. For example, grouping students for topic search, sharing resources,or any other low-level activities can help build relationships. Forming small groups is always agood idea so that students have the opportunity to contribute equally.ConclusionThis exploratory study contributed to the field of STEM education and, specifically, tounderstanding how STEM graduate students learn in shared collaborative learning environments.The findings revealed that inquiry-based online courses with integration of applied research peerreview activities need

While most of them focus either on course-based research projects oron undergraduate students’ experiences, few document authentic learningexperiences unfolding in real time among and between graduate students inresearch laboratories. Therefore, we situate our study in the context of authenticresearch experiences in

course of three calendar years. Included inthis initiative was the launch of the Mentoring Fellows Program, a student-led and faculty-advised group tasked with researching and improving mentorship at the college level. During thefirst year of the Mentoring Improvement Initiative, the fellows were tasked with focusing on therelationship between a graduate student and their committee head or primary advisor.The College of Engineering Mentoring Fellows, composed of three graduate students, twofaculty, and one staff member, prioritized analyzing existing data collected by the graduateStudent Experience in the Research University (gradSERU) online service. The fellowsrecognized that while most students stated they were content with the relationship
