internalization of certain valuesover others.IntroductionGraduate students engaging in research education are vying for admission to a community ofscholars, learning to operate within specific requirements, regulations, and expectations in eachfield of study [1]. Shifts in how doctoral students view themselves and their peers, their mentors,the field, and generated knowledge occur throughout the research education process.Simultaneously, students proceed through the process of taking on or rejecting values and valuesystems (axiology) that are proliferated and perpetuated in their professional field of study. Inaddition to messages conveyed from graduate development within engineering environments,graduate students also bring their beliefs about knowledge

science and human considerations. The National Academyof Engineering (NAE) frequently emphasizes the complexity of modern engineering challenges,such as in their report Grand Challenges for Engineering [1]. As engineering challenges becomeincreasingly complex, there’s been a notable rise in interest in engineering education research.More and more engineering education programs have been developed in the US, which havedeveloped dedicated programs to focus on engineering education research. The number ofgraduate and doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. has risen since the early 21st century [2], andwhile engineering and education have long produced PhDs, recent technological advancementshave significantly reshaped the PhD process [3].
