To understand graduate studentgrowth from disciplinary to interdisciplinary scholars, we pose the research questions: RQ1: In what ways do graduate students’ understandings of DRRM change as a result of their introduction to an interdisciplinary graduate research program? RQ2: To what extent and in what ways do concept maps serve as a tool to capture interdisciplinary learning in this context?In addition to serving as an assessment tool, concept maps can help foster meaningful learningby encouraging students to connect their knowledge, thus offering

justice and behavioral ethicsresearch are concerned with questions of right and wrong, until recently, the study of ethicalbehavior at work has focused on them as two distinct scholarly traditions. Discussing theimportance of linking the two, they stated [7]: The process theories of justice offer an important avenue for integrating behavioural ethics research. If fairness decisions are made through a series of cognitive steps, then there are a number of stages in which ethical considerations could intervene. (p. 891)In the case of engineering education, Rottmann and Reeve [6] identified “a long-lasting divisionbetween ethics and equity in engineering education” (p. 146) and framed it as the micro/macrodivide.
