The purpose of this was topromote STEM fields for a career path, which many of the female students would otherwise notconsider.

,participants included current graduate students, recently graduated PhDs, and experienced faculty whohad advised multiple PhD students throughout their careers. The disciplines of the participants were notidentified, but, from the nature of the FIE conference, it is assumed that a majority of the participantswere from engineering disciplines. The session leaders, as well as many of the session participants, holdPhDs in Engineering Education from Purdue or Virginia Tech. The session tried to maintain a focus thatwas not exclusively built around the PhD process in Engineering Education at those two institutions,though there was some natural gravitation toward that experience. Participants were asked to leave theirprocess maps on the work tables if they

Such projects are largely a work of love realized by passionateand driven students, primarily on a voluntary basis. Robert Stebbins’ concept of serious leisure is an appropriate frame to examine suchactivity in a range of informal and voluntary settings. According to Stebbins, people engaged ina serious leisure effort show the following characteristics: a) perseverance to accomplish the task at hand; b) the ability to progress along a career-like path; c) the investment of significant investment

To aid students in addressing these challenges, thispaper addresses the research question: What are important characteristics of doctoral committeemembers for a student pursuing an engineering education PhD?Literature ReviewFaculty members are an important support system for graduate students, especially a facultyadvisor and the members of a student’s committee [6, 7]. These faculty members not only providethe necessary disciplinary content knowledge, but can also provide personal, career or emotionalsupport[7]. While earning an interdisciplinary degree, as that in engineering education, the role ofthe advisor can become more complex[8].

Using ecosystem metaphors enablesus to ask questions about the quality of pathways, the availability and flow of resources, and thestructures and processes that create and sustain inequalities. Observing that systems are designedto reproduce themselves, Vanasupa and Schlemer argue that “the apparent problems of lack oflearning and lack of diversity are outcomes of a system functioning as designed rather thansomething ‘going wrong’” [6, pp. 6].
