As such, items developed in this work canbe used to craft a framework for understanding graduate student experiences, but futurerefinement may be necessary to fully capture students’ transitions from undergraduate tograduate education. While the results of this study speak to graduate students holistically, furtherwork is needed to understand how the different sub-populations (e.g., underrepresentedminorities, international students) that exist within engineering graduate programs experiencegraduate

Towards this end, we aspire to shift School community members’ cognitiveand affective knowledge of power and privilege. While there are quantitative assessment toolsthat measure related constructs (e.g. cultural competencies), we are not aware of any instrumentsthat measure a person’s understanding of social power and oppression, particularly how sociallyconstructed differences and identities like gender, race, and class intersect and combine to affectpeople’s lives in various settings.

However, it has two limitations: low participation of engineeringstudents and effectiveness in providing global perspective. The low participation is because onlyfew students can afford to have a study-abroad experience.

Though the United States is in a demographic shift with an increasingpopulation of ethnic minorities, they remain heavily underrepresented in the science andengineering fields2. In order to decrease this gap within the growing population, the countrywould need to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing engineering by three-fold1. Researchers suggest that one way to meet this demand and increase the pipeline of womenand minorities is to focus on K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)preparatory programs2.
