synchronous, cohort-based nature of our program provides several unique opportunities forproject instruction, collaboration, and assessment. All students enrolled in the project course attendsynchronous lectures. Over the two semesters, lectures covering topics such as project definition,how to give a presentation, how to prepare a technical document, and data analysis are presented.Each student team is advised by the course instructor and team progress is assessed during weeklyvideo conferences in which students describe implementation challenges, discuss design and im-plementation progress, and perform brief demonstrations. All students are expected to participatein the advising sessions. Students may be co-located or in different locations. In

the graduate students are separated based on international status, where onlydomestic students’ demographic information is available. The race/ethnic backgrounds of ourdomestic students are 35% Hispanic/Latinx, 8% Black or African American, 7% White (Non-Hispanic/Latinx), and 3% Asians.The mentorship literature tends to emphasize the experiences of doctoral students whileneglecting students enrolled in master’s programs [24]. The experiences of master’s studentsmatter, and improving their experiences is critical in their success. Since mentorship has beenshown to improve the experiences and success of doctoral students [25], we believe that it can beapplied to master’s students, particularly those on a thesis track as well.

The criticality of these issues andpotential ways to expose students to such skill sets has been encouraged by the publication of aSpecial Issue on Engineering Education: Beyond Technical Skills [7]. ABET also indicates theneed for such skill development via Criterion 3 where students must display the ability tofunction on multidisciplinary teams, understand professional and ethical responsibility,communicate effectively, and understand the impact of engineering solutions in a context thatincludes global

It provided anoverview of relevant technical communication tasks, detailed below, facilitated by guest lecturesand hands-on workshops.3.2.1 The communication course’s operationThe course consisted of a weekly, two-hour session. Topics covered a range of technical com-munication tasks, as outlined in Table 3. Typically each session began with an introductory guestlecture (∼30 min), followed by small-group workshops run in parallel, in separate rooms, and ledby Communication Lab tutors.

Delayed Graduation due to the COVID-19 Pandemic In terms of job search self-efficacy (Figure 3), the one-sample t-test results showed thatthe means for all items are statistically different from 0 (The Same), meaning that, in general,engineering graduate students showed less confidence in their job search since the COVID-19outbreak occurred. In particular, females, low-SES students, international students, and studentswith disabilities were less confident than their peers. Figure 3. Job Search Self-Efficacy affected by the COVID 19

Mental health awarenessweeks on campuses often include mindfulness sessions, yoga classes, and lectures on thegrowing mental illness rates within academia and the college-aged population. While these dohelp raise awareness and provide opportunities for student to practice techniques to improve theirmental health, three key problems can be identified in leveraging only these interventions: (1)one week of heightened support does not suffice for an entire year, (2) attending events can addadditional time-stress to already time-stressed students, and (3) these events do not address theunderlying problems that led to mental illness within students [8].

success in an increasingly globalized world.I. Introduction As the field of engineering becomes more globalized, the need for engineers to beglobally competent is increasingly important. The development of global competency isparticularly important for engineering graduate students, who will soon be leaders in industryand academia. Many of the challenges facing our society require global collaboration, and it istherefore necessary that engineering graduate students develop an ability to work in these globalcontexts [1]. However, many graduate engineering programs focus primarily on research and ondeveloping students’ technical skills with less emphasis on skills needed for students’ jobs andcareers after graduation [2-3

For every seven majoritized students that complete a doctoraldegree in engineering, only one minoritized student will obtain the same degree in the U.S. [2],[3]. Commissions have identified disproportionate representation in the workforce as a majorchallenge due to barriers that are socio-cultural, economic, and historical in nature [4]. At thesame time, research studies have provided empirical evidence that highlights the differences inthe experiences of African American, Black, Hispanic, and Native American

.(2011, para. 3) concisely argue: technical writing is usually not the same as scholarly writing, and scholarly writing is required in most research-based writing projects, such as theses and directed projects. As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing

at least two disciplines whileaddressing a real-world system problem. During the interdisciplinary research process,researchers from a variety of disciplines cross boundaries to solve the specific real-worldproblems and create new knowledge [3, 4, 5, 6].Recognizing the potential of interdisciplinarity, national efforts, such as the Integrative GraduateEducation Research and Training (IGERT) initiative, have emerged. The IGERT program,initiated in 1997 and terminated in 2012 funded 125 groups of faculty to “educate U.S Ph.D.scientists, engineers, and educators with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge inchosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to become in their own careersthe leaders and creative
