One such examplewas a workshop with graduate students, administrators, faculty members, and postdoctoralresearchers that culminated in suggestions for engineering graduate education: (1) clarifyexpectations, (2) attend to the community, (3) organize the research group for mentoring, and (4)structure student development toward independence [8].A civil engineering research group at a public research-intensive university developed a retreat tosupport socialization, address the aforementioned challenges, and integrate best practices ingraduate education while also drawing on organizational change and workforce

GREscores have been proven to be a poor indicator of graduate school success time and time again[27-34].

Each summer, students from local high schools were selected to participate in laboratoryresearch as scholars under the supervision of a mentoring graduate student and faculty member.Each team composed of two YSs and their graduate mentor tackled problems innanomanufacturing and made significant contributions to ongoing research projects.
