States.Communication in engineering continues to be an important element of engineering education,especially in terms of future employability. Universities are continually measured, ranked, andevaluated for performance-based funding based on their students’ employment numbersfollowing graduation. However, a divide exists between the level of communication competencyemployers expect from recent graduates versus their actual competency. Despite over twodecades of Communication (and English) faculty efforts, extensive research, and grantinvestment by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in engineering communication educationsince EC2000, the calls for universities to teach communication competence to engineeringundergraduates has only grown louder.At its core

within academic structures such as departmental siloing andconflicts in policies, procedures, and budget models across disciplines that often impinge uponinterdisciplinary student development [1][2][3].Previous findings based on faculty perspectives on facilitating interdisciplinary programs revealthe ways in which multiple differentiated layers of the academic environment impact graduatestudent development, but students’ perspectives have often been left out, leaving an incompletepicture. Additionally, existing literature tends to focus on levels of the academic environmentthat students interact with directly, with less attention to external influences at or beyond theinstitutional level that are also relevant to the interdisciplinary graduate

Multiple theoriesand models deduce the factors associated with retention, success and learning [9]-[12].Numerous previous studies have used an Input-Environment-Output model, which uses students' 2sociocultural and personal background characteristics (sex, race, gender, values) to betterunderstand how students interact with faculty and peers within an academic institution. Fromthese studies, it was demonstrated that students' engagement in curricular and co-curricularexperiences with their peers and faculty has an impact on their general success and ability tolearn.

Women studentswho applied to graduate school were more likely to be motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g., loveof learning, interest in their field) than male students, who were more motivated by furtheringtheir careers. The authors noted that personal outreach and encouragement to apply to graduateschool were more important influences on women’s decision making than men.Once they transition into graduate education, women contend with experiences of sexism, genderstereotyping, delegitimization, and isolation [9]. To mitigate these challenges, women often haveto depend on their own resilience and capacity to cope with these

Courses focused on theexplicit teaching of knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with innovation andentrepreneurship are inherently able to include learning objectives that align with many of theABET student outcomes, including how to: understand the context in which an engineeringdesign will be implemented, effectively communicate ideas, work in multidisciplinary teams, andparticipate in ethical decision making.
