, and family members may also influence a student’s major selection. Researchers haveidentified factors, such as career prospects, personal interests, parental influence, effects ofclimate and culture, to be important. Although a few models of major choice exist, relativelylittle attention has been given to examining engineering disciplinary choice (e.g. Mechanical,Environmental, Civil, Chemical, or Industrial). Our research aims to fill this gap from a uniqueperspective—since music genre preference can represent diversity in the broad dimension ofexperiences, we explore whether there is an association between music genre preference andengineering discipline choice.Music penetrates all aspects of modern society, including academic settings

students in these results shared that there was an extreme difference inwhat they expected of their graduate endeavors and what they actually experienced, whichtranslated into them feeling alone and exiled [13]. Isolation or exclusion is one of the primefactors for a decrease in retention of URM students [19]. Others acknowledged the impact thatthese issues had on their ability to function as a normal member of STEM society. Thealienation from faculty and peers often resulted in a lack of confidence and comfort withcommunicating in order to gain understanding, attend meetings, request help, or even participate[19][12]. Due to a lack of STEM faculty and peers that represent similar life narratives andcultural norms [18], many minoritized students

first cohort of doctoral students participating in thepilot program.Training ModelTraining in professional or “soft” skills, although not new in graduate education, is commonlydone on an ad hoc basis, as a ‘bolt on’ to a student’s program of study. Further, professional skillstraining is often targeted towards career placement and generally offered to students who areadvanced in their graduate studies. While there has no doubt been some success in following thisimplicit approach, we sought to explore how a more explicit approach might better serve STEMgraduate students.The innovative model (see Figure 2) piloted through the GS LEAD program challenges thatparadigm by positioning critical professional skills development [15], [13], [5] at the

In what ways do grades motivate students’ decision-making?Expectancy Value TheoryExpectancy Value Theory (EVT) is a well-known framework that can be used to explain aperson’s motivation.

Current enrollment is approximately30 PhD students with two to three students graduating per year. The research productivity of thefaculty members has grown over time along with their connections to local industry. One of thechallenges in being the first doctoral program in the College of Engineering is that the otherdepartments were not as capable of supporting the same level of research and some of theadministrative processes in the university needed to be revised and expanded to support doctoralresearch. For example, an ECE doctoral program will often leverage faculty members andresearch in Physics and Computer Science. At the start

To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting.

Kallio (1995) identified factors for choosing a graduateprogram that appear similar to the criteria for selecting an undergraduate program – “academicreputation of the program, program quality and size, price/cost, financial aid, geographiclocation, contact with faculty, and a student’s individual characteristics such as academic abilityand achievement” [8]. Kallio also noted that graduate students differ from undergraduates in thatspouses, family and work considerations more heavily influence their graduate program choices. In the same research, Kallio asked graduate enrollees in the University of Michigan theirmotivations for choosing the school in a survey exploring 31

. To date, abundant research exists on the mechanics of teaching ethics, butthere remains a paucity of work investigating what informs faculty decisions to teach ethics (or,conversely, not to teach it) and how they discern the manifold inputs affecting those decisions. Over the past decade, research on engineering ethics in undergraduate programs hasconsidered myriad perspectives. One branch of work has approached it from the studentperspective, ranging from an investigation on student perspectives toward ethics and professionalidentity6 to a more tangential approach looking at students’ views toward social responsibility7.8.A separate branch has also looked at this topic from recent graduates’ perspectives andencounters with ethical
