career. Youremotional health might not be as straightforward to manage. Graduate school has emotional highs(e.g. success in research, accepted papers) emotional lows (e.g. rejected papers, failed tests) andstress. I learned that my emotional health is not something I could ignore. Taking time foryourself is important during your graduate school career. The last lesson of the paper is aboutsetting goals and finding opportunities to achieve your goals. A common goal for earning yourdoctorate should be preparing you for your career in either academia or industry.My BackgroundI am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Kettering University and I defended mydissertation on April 1, 2016, about 31.5 months after starting my Ph.D. in Systems

While Q methodologyhas had limited use in engineering education research to-date, it has a larger presence ineducation and educational psychology research more broadly.This paper details the history of Q methodology, when it is appropriate to use it as a researchdesign within engineering education research, the components of the methodology, how toexecute a Q methodology study, and how to analyze and interpret the results. A detailed examplefrom a dissertation is provided for how Q methodology is currently being used to study theexperiences of early career women engineers when

this was true, or whether there was rather a difference in emphasized skills. He interviewedseveral CPE French professors. In an interview, the Assistant to the Chemistry and ChemicalEngineering Scientific Direction at IPL stated that she and her faculty “…do not perceive theAmerican students to be at a lower level than the French students.” Other French professors,such as Dr. Peiere Monkham and Dr. Muriel de Montigny, remarked that they believed thesame. They noticed that on the whole, however, the American students did not have the samepractical (i.e. in-lab) experience that French students would have by the same point in theiracademic careers, and that American engineering education tended to be more theoretical.

, needs amore intimate image of a role model, a mentor who ignites academic inspiration on a very personal levelthroughout the undergraduate years and beyond. The multiple roles of a mentor are summarized by thesociologist Morris Zelditch of the American Council of Graduate Schools as follows: Mentors are advisors,people with career experience willing to share their knowledge; supporters, people who give emotionaland moral encouragement; tutors, people who give specific feedback on one’s performance; masters, inthe sense of employers to whom one is apprenticed; sponsors, sources of information about and aid inobtaining opportunities; models of identity, of the kind of person one should be to be an academic.”[3].Thus, a mentor is a very unique

Sometimes academics meet other academics or ambitious people, and bothpartners have big dreams and potential with their best job prospects scattered across the country or theworld in a random collection of places. So the question of how to both make the next best career move fortwo people (referred to jokingly by those who are familiar with physics dynamics analysis as a “two-bodyproblem”) is likely to come up at some point, and a graduate student and their partner has to know wherethey

toother incentives (such as higher earning potential) [6][7]. Given the critical shortage of workersand teachers in academic fields or careers in computing industry, low rates of participation areespecially problematic [6]. It is vital to the economy of the United States to attract and retainqualified computing students. It is also important to ensure a diverse faculty that represents thepopulation they serve [8]. To broaden participation in academia, it is important to ensure equitablerepresentation of all students in both undergraduate and graduate schools. As such, it is importantnot only to consider ways to encourage students to pursue graduate work, but also to find ways toattract minoritized populations to graduate studies in computing

According to theNational Science Foundation, jobs that involve science or engineering show a low percentage ofemployed African Americans [1]. As of 2015, African Americans that identify with one race are roughly4 percent engineers and 3 percent physical and related scientists.These statistics give rise to the question why; why are URMs not pursuing careers in engineering?BackgroundOld Dominion University (ODU) is recognized as a minority serving institution with a plurality of racesrepresented.

The structure of the chapter and itsevents center around that chosen area [2], [3]. For example, the ASEE student chapter at theOhio State University, due to member interest, shifted its focus from graduate and undergraduatesupport to K-12 outreach. Based on this shift, the chapter’s structure changed by expandingseveral officers’ roles to be more outreach focused and forming new committees to stabilize thework [3].

In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.

science discipline uses a different definition for energy; this can createconfusion about energy for students as they continue through their studies [7, 8]. The lack ofcontext in engineering curricula and confusion around a definition of energy can prevent studentsfrom seeing the importance of energy, the role it plays in sociotechnical problem solving, and theimpact energy has on their own lives [7, 8].It is well-known that women are underrepresented in engineering [e.g. 9]. Research suggests onefactor that influences women to stay in engineering is finding a sense of belonging [10, 11].Research also suggests that presenting engineering within a societal context can help attract andretain women in engineering because women tend to choose career
