was to ensure that thelanguage of the survey was consistent with the language that the typical graduate student uses todescribe teaching. The two focus group participants were asked very general questions such as“What makes good teaching?” and “How does a good teacher promote learning in a diverseclassroom?”. Based on this focus group, we did not identify any major discrepancies betweenhow the students conceptualized teaching and the language used on our survey. However, wewere able to identify some topics which were important to the two participants which were notoriginally included in the draft survey questions, such as the nuances of the complex relationshipsand power dynamics between GSIs, students, and professors.After incorporating
opportunities, manytrainees express increased interest in pursuing non-traditional teaching-stream faculty positions,where experience in skills beyond research excellence are of increased importance.Decisions regarding curriculum development and delivery in higher education have traditionallybeen autonomous, resulting from an individual faculty member’s expertise, teaching approachesand beliefs, and motivations [4]. Most post-secondary instructors gain their teaching identityduring the formative period of graduate training, as a consequence of teaching experiences asgraduate instructors or teaching assistants, during which individuals formatively develop theirbeliefs and motivations about teaching [4].

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work-in-Progress: Online Tutorials to Help Undergraduates Bridge the Gap Between General Writing and Engineering WritingAbstract Although engineering students are regularly called upon to write as engineers in designcourses, laboratory courses, and internships throughout their curriculum, many engineeringstudents do not formally learn to write as an engineer until their third or fourth year of study. Forthis reason, a gap exists between what engineering students know about general writing and howthey are expected to write as an engineer. As a first step to address this gap, this paper

Priorexamples of good single institution studies of graduate students focused on doctoral studentinstitutional choice (Bersola, Stolzenberg, Love, & Fosnacht, 2014) and retention and time-to-degree completion (Nerad & Cerny, 1993).
