Undergraduate students may be introduced to these skills if they major inengineering or have internship experiences in industry; however, these skills are rarely taught atthe graduate level. Graduate education primarily focuses on developing skills required for theacademy (i.e., research, grant writing) and often overlook other skills that are more critical tosuccess in professions in the industry. Over the past decades, students have increasingly beenseeking positions outside the academy, opting, instead, to work in the industry [2]. STEMemployers seek

Likewise, through the use of course modulescovering topics on self-directed learning [9]-[10]; problem-based curricula [11]-[12];engineering projects [13]; journaling [14]; and reflective writing [15], instructors have monitoredand assessed changes in students’ SDL skills. These approaches were described in studies suchas Fellows et al. [3] that entailed a range of classroom and project activities designed accordingto the Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Model [16]. During the activities, students’SDL ability was assessed in Four stages - Dependent (stage 1), Involved, Interested, and Self-Directed (stage 4).

These include theimplementation of a math placement exam, a modification of the engineering curriculum basedon best practices used at other engineering programs for improving retention, and the intentionalgrouping of first-year engineering students in a college success course that was led by anEngineering faculty member and a peer mentor who was a returning engineering student.All of these engineering-focused efforts were coupled with college-wide efforts at improvingretention which included an increase in staffing for the

Negative interactions within those experiences can affect the mental functioning andwellbeing of the students. These negative experiences result in high levels of distress that maynot be clearly visible to peers or faculty but can have significant impacts within their collegiatechoices. Available research indicates that approximately 50% of students display alarming levelsof stress, anxiety, and depression [1], [2].

In schools emergent bilingual students are often subjectedto low-level content and lower expectations than their monolingual English-speaking peers. Forexample, school leaders may believe that multilingual children need to learn basic Englishlanguage skills first before they can engage in science inquiry and engineering design. Incontrast, other approaches position multilingual and emergent bilingual students in light of theirassets [1]. Our project, thus, views multilingual learners
