herself, "This is really mentally affecting me." Erin noticed thetoll that graduate school had on her mental health and attributed this to the lack of preparationon the part of advisors and mentors. She stated, I had realized the mental and emotional toll that grad school was heaping on [me], honestly, unrealistic level[s] of expectations, the multiple projects, and the teaching, and still dealing with personal life, and all while being thrown in the deep end. No one actually ever teaches you how to do research. You just kind of sink or swim.Giselle’s increased mental distress led to her decision to take a leave of absence. She shared, I had to take a leave of absence, because I couldn't deal with it. I had to take a
especially true at public institutions driven toexpand access while improving retention rates, based on performance metrics set by the state.Retention studies have been conducted for nearly every sub-population including women andmany racial and ethnic groups. Some of the work has shifted to intersectional analyses—forexample, Archer’s exploration of black male students’ resistance to “geeky” identities [10], orJohnson et al.’s study which highlights some Native American and Latina women’s preference towork as scientists within their ethnic communities as a method of balancing ethnic andengineering identities [11]. However, less work has been done on the interactions that occuracross different student cohorts. Indeed, scholars have argued that due
suggestedtopics were confirmed to be added to the curriculum. Similarly, due to the professional diversityfactor, the number of proposed alternative names per topic and subtopic confirmed was alsoless than in Experiment 2. And like in Experiment 2’s discussion, the results show that with moreautomation (consensus building for the data analysis of topics, subtopics, and name analyses)outputs a quicker data analyses duration.

There arean increasing number of examples of efforts to introduce issues of equity in concert withinfrastructure in the literature. Sanford et al. conducted a systematic review of literaturedescribing interventions that have been implemented in practice [13]. Examples include Casperet al.’s efforts to integrate social justice into first and third year civil engineering courses [14],case studies developed by Judge [15], and Castaneda et al.’s
(2013) this is still happening [3]. A reason why this continues to be an issue may be a gap in theliterature with the lack of papers describing best practices on recruiting and retaininginternational students [3]. Considering that, in 2013 Özturgut (2013) implemented a study to look Page 19.19.3into this issue and wrote an initial study on those best practices. The summary of the results arebelow: Best Practices in Recruiting International Students that emerged from Özturgut (2013)’s study on international student recruitment are: 1. Providing academic support and utilizing campus resources; 2. Attending and participating in

This survey was developed at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation – College ofEducation North Carolina University [18] to collect and interpret information about students’ attitudestoward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects, postsecondary pathways, andcareer interests. This instrument is free to access and modify for educational use and can be adapted tolocal conditions as long as the source is cited.Given that the audience of the course is Spanish-speaking, the project used, translated, and adapted aversion

After several exchanges,both of them decided on the topics and came up with some prompts pertaining to the topic ofinterest, IWoC’s transition experiences building on the transition theory [6]. Also, all the authorsmet on Zoom collectively twice. Author 1 and author 2 discussed the findings and theirnarratives multiple times. We made sure to maintain the trustworthiness of our research bycapturing the thorough narratives of each researcher. We also ensured the member check-inprocess.The overarching prompt for this autoethnographic exploration includes, “How do you

What are the lived experiences (stories) of Black Doctoral engineering students in matriculating from historically Black college/university (HBCU) to a predominately white institution (PWI) for graduate studies?Background Moving from undergraduate studies to a graduate program is a difficult transition notonly due to the increase in workload and responsibility, but also changes in overall culture withinthe academic setting. Austin (2002) found that when attempting to socialize themselves ingraduate programs “[s]tudents must make sense of the academy and its values, its expectations ofthem as graduate students, [the academy’s

This shows that earned upper-level credits are very similar amongthe groups, but there are significant differences in the 100-level. Transfer students have moreearned credits, but many of their transfer courses only count toward general credit and do not fulfilldegree requirements. There is also a larger number of 100-level credits for students of color andPell-eligible students as they are more likely to transfer credits or change majors.

In the latter part of the nineteenth century, the authorsrelate, universities began to focus on science-based programs such as engineering andagriculture, areas that focused more on the application of science to industry. Beginning in the1970’s, universities in the United States began to see public funding shrink. That, coupled withspecific but short-lived economic downturns in the following decades tightened the financial beltfurther. But at the same time, the economy itself was shifting, moving toward a place whereinformation and knowledge outstripped industrial manufacturing. Into this atmosphere,partnerships
