between gender and/or ethno-racial identity and the stereotype ofengineering as a field appropriate for white males can impede the development of STEM identities amongwomen and minorities. With the increasing importance of innovation, students who pursue engineering graduate degreesoften seek to build skills in conducting research (Brown and Linden, 2008). The social psychologicalconstruct of identity has emerged as a relatively new metric for assessing graduate student retention andsuccess. Studies suggest that graduate students’ identities correlate with their competency levels as wellas their professional and academic motivation (Alexander, 2011; Silver, Garver, and Watkins, 2011;Virgil, 2016). Importantly however, the literature

have been calls to develop and deploy graduate STEM education modelsthat prepare students for careers outside academia. Few innovations have emerged to meet students attheir current skill and preparation levels when entering their graduate studies while also consideringstudents' individual desired career paths. The U.S.'s current approach to graduate STEM education doesnot emphasize preparing students with professional skills and experience outside the lab. Further,students from differing socioeconomic and underserved backgrounds are often not adequatelysupported.
